Why get a tripod? You don't need a tripod to make a good movie.
I personally hate fisheyes, but I hate how my camera's lens isn't wide, so I modded my kenko to be an ultra wide angle

my camera says 36 mm...?
is that right?

i thought that kenko was ultra wide?

plus a tripods a great thing to have around. especially if you dont have a full time filmer

 

[P4RK3R]

Kenkos have barrel distortion. I took all the barrel distortion out.

 

[Brian Boston]

What'd you do take the middle element out?

 

[P4RK3R]

I only used the middle element.

the kenko is ultra wide though right? What makes you not want the distortion? I only ask because i was about to order one...

He just didn't want a fisheye. He wanted a wide-angle. It's looks like your filming longlens, but it's wider.

Go say that on SP, or a professional video site. The company uses photos shot with other fisheyes and advertises them on their website.

lol at vx1/mk1 in their photo

I'm looking for a fisheye for my camera, but all it says on the lens is: Fujinon Zoom Lens 1:2.8-3.1 10x optical zoom f=5.7-57mm
So I guess its 57mm but I cant find any fisheye lens in that size, and no step up rings either. I did find some 58mm fisheyes.

then why did you even post in this thread.

Thanks for the thread bri. I bought my Baby Death lens by watching this thread.it's sooo good. I totally recommend it.

First video using it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V8orCCYHSgg
(yes, i f*cked up the contrast and exposure, i'm still learning to use my camera's manual controls)

Though there is no vignetting (which is good) even when fully zoomed out, so it can go wider.
Will a longer step-up ring do the job if i'd wanted to go wider?

 

[qwxor]

you dont want a step up ring you want a 37mm spacer


and what camera did you get?

 

[Madis]

Yes, i meant spacer by "longer step-up ring" in my last post. I speak engRish so yea.

I currently have a Sony DCR-SR55 standard definition camera,
soon getting a high definition one and sell the SR55.

UV filters with threads on both ends (so you would be able to screw a lens onto the front of the UV filter after its on your camera). But you gotta smash the glass out or you get glare in your videos.
