I have a Sony Handycam DCR-TRV19E with a i think the lense is 30mm.
So if i ordered a kenko, would it fit on straight away?, or would i need to get step up ring or some shizz.

Sorry Bri, im a noob to this stuff.

sorryif this allready got answered, but when you buy from the kenko ebay store, you specify what camera you have

 

[Tristan Mathews]

it is a sony handycam dcr-hc26. and im pretty sure there is no number on or around the lense with a Ã?Æ?Ã?â??Ã?â? Ã¢â?¬â?¢Ã?Æ?ââ?¬Â¹Ã?â?¦Ã¢â?¬Å? before it.

that camera's a bit like mine but i have one question for you since my cameras new and im new to them i have a function on my camera that is called 'ball' it looks like a fish-eye...... is it?
ps. good work

Nah that just changes the image, kinda gives it a fisheye look, but its nothing like a fisheye. You need a fisheye lens in order to have the fisheye effect.

ball sucks. i had mine on ball accidently and i was blind filming (not looking at screen) and there were some lucks parts that i got where i saw a leg or an arm, never film in ball.
is kenko the same as opteka? cuz my opteka looks like a kenko fisheye

 

[Brian Boston]

Yeah i think there basically the same thing

optekas are said to have a higher quality glass than kenko

you know video cameras that do tape, do you put that on the computer with firewire and whats the general quality like compared to like digital?

like... like... like... like... what do you mean as in digital?

video cameras that record to a tape and have firewire connections are either called super8, or minidv. super8's generally old and expensive, while minidv is newer (few years old) and stands for mini digital video
and, it also depends what type of camera you have, what it records to, and how crappy it is. and also, what format you save it to, and if you use windows movie maker or adobe premier pro, there's going to be a big difference in quality.

but if you mean a camcorder vs. a digital camera that records movies too, the camcorder is hella better

Super 8 is film, hi8 is tape but it usually doesn't support firewire, digital 8 does.

 

[P4RK3R]

oh my bad i mixed up super and digital

 

[tomborsari]

does anyone make fisheyes for my kind of camera? I have an aiptek camcorder.

i think its 8.31mm

 

[P4RK3R]

if it has threads, yes, just get a kenko with a step up ring to fit it. or get the clip on fisheye

 

[tomborsari]

where can i get clip ons?

 

[Brian Boston]

Dude i don't even know if a clip on will fit that. The threads are tiny on it. The lens might not even see much of the fisheye, so it won't look too great.

 

[P4RK3R]

haha i found this wide angle lens that like velcroed onto a camera phone, could that work?

 

[kardes]

nice thread! looks like i'll be picking up the kenko :]
