Help with lenses

[Dom Marconi]

my camera has a 43mm lens, and i waas going to get a fisheye for it.
i could either get the kenko .43x 37mm and put a stepdown ring on it to make it fit my 43mm camera, but i was wondering if that would have too much vig.
or, i could just get this lens from ebay, ( http://cgi.ebay.com/43mm-0-38X-Wide...nses?hash=item3ef7d56a9d&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14 ) but i dont know if its a good lens. somebody help me out.

What video camera do you have? Your best bet is to hold a lens up to you camera and see how bad the vig is. Maybe take it to a camera shop (not ritz camera plz) and see if they will let you put a lens+stepdown ring on there to check the vignetting.

yeah whenever i go to camera shops and i ask to see fisheye, they always say like what size? and im like "any size pretty much. What do you have" and they always tell me, "i cant really show you anything..." and its just retarded

If these places really have fisheyes... tell them you have a 43mm camera and want to check a 37mm fisheye would have too much vignetting (VIN YET ING is the pronunciation), do you have a step down ring along with the fisheye to see?

What camera do you have anyway? If its HD, i wouldn't waste money on anything other that the opteka 43mm lens, or century if you got the dough.

yeah im pretty sure im going to be getting the canon hv30, and i want to get a lens with it.
