Yup,

What do you use as a spacer to widen a fisheye?

Use a 37mm filter, and smash the glass out. Some actually have glass you can unscrew, but smashing it is more fun.

omg, thanks to this thread, i will be getting a camera, and a descent lens by the end of this summer.
im gonna show my parents this cammera http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/477103-REG/Panasonic_PVGS320_PV_GS320_3_CCD_Mini.html

along with, the kenko lens
when you said the size of the lens, were you talking about the diameter, or the length or what?
i dont know if i will need a step up ring or not.

if you guys could help, it would mean allot.
thanks!

37mm is the diameter of the threads. the gs320 has 37mm threads so does the kenko lens and baby death lens, so the lens will screw straight onto the camera.

 

[Jake ODonnell]

alright, thanks

 

[qwxor]

plus if you wanna make the fiish a little wider buy a few 37mm spacers and put them there

i dont know if that works for kenkos or just babys

 

[.erik]

baby deaths are plenty wide without haha

 

[qwxor]

hahaha if you wanna go super wide no homo then get spacers

 

[.erik]

might cause vig though..

 

[Eric Magray]

even if you manage not to get any vig, youll get soo much more distortion.

 

[johnmattes]

dont use more then one spacer, more spacers more lost image quality

 

[Jake ODonnell]

okay, got it
