that thing holding it on was some tripod attachment thing i got with a tripod, its supposed to be for cameras without a tripod mount or cameraphones

i woudlnt use that, you cant use the lcd. you should never film blindwithout the lcd. at least while filming a line with a fisheye.
 
It's your ccds. Almost every 1ccd cam has not-so-perfectly-aligned ccds. It's impossible for a lens to be machined at an angle. If it where you would actually see the side of the lens body itself since it you wouldn't be looking straight through the lens. Uneven vig is do to crooked ccds or cross threading.

never used it, never will. i made a new handle and its super tight. i'll get pictures up probly before i leave on tuesday, or after i come hone on thursday, but its a bent piece of metal coming off the hot shoe thing with an ovalized handlebar with a rubber grip on it. feels good and looks clean too, and it isn't all wobbly like my first thing that i made when my camera was broken.

edit: shelby, unscrew the included macro lense from the fisheye, it will make a better fisheye effect and might straighten it out. also, unscrew the top thing off the fhiseye and put it back on to make sure the threads are alligned good

edit: my "new" camera:

new battery, got it a year ago and never used it much. the eyepiece thing fell off and i can't get it back on

lense cap is on, note that the macro lense is taken off, that's why its shorter than most kenkos/optekas

ZR-85 for life! (or until it breaks again)
some kid hit it against a wall real hard to try to get the eyepiece thing back on, and that's how it broke. I took it apart last night and put the screws back in after i cleared some dust inside, and it works! the other option was to pay canon $200 dollars to LOOK at it, not FIX it. the total price was going to be around $350, and it only cost me like $300.

Ew. Please don't do that. You get like a full circle of vig you need to zoom through. Its nasty.

i zoom just a little so it just makes tiny circle marks. if i need more wide angle, i put both on
but i guess i'll just leave both on for now...

That look way better than mine haha props.
thanks, but i think yours would feel better, mine feels like my hand isn't all the way on, so i kinda freak out, but i got used to it.
and what's weird is that the Eluras are better than the ZRs, but Elura costs less...
go figure

sick, just make sure the card has a fast write speed before you take sequences, or you will regret it. i have lexar its 2 gb. and the write speed is 133x.
popular photography said its like the fastest in the world or something and it only cost me $50. you should check into that one if you need more memory

Not the fastest in the world..maybe one of the faster cards.
Hoodman has 150x cards and they were stated to be the fastest card on the market. (about 2 months ago)
Transcend has a 8gb thats 266x. (I have a 2gb 120x version.)
Lexar does currently have the fastest cards though. they come in 2gb, 4gb and 8gb 300x versions. according to the review of it, its 125% faster than the 133x version.
