It isn't a fisheye.


How do you figure? The auction even give examples of what it will do.Call me crazy but the examples look like they came from a fisheye...

Yet again it could be a scam.

Nevermind, it's supposed to be 3 different kinds of lens in one, but that mean it probably sucks.

It is made in Japan and is of the highest quality and it comes with a 10 year warantee.

I wouldn't trust them, they can't spell right.

Well yeah... get a kenko 43x... thats the best you can get until the next level which would be a baby death which is like 270-300 usd.

Why do they cost so much? Isn't it just glass and plastic?

haha, a baby death is the cheaper of fisheye's.

The fisheye alot of filmers use, cost up to 900... Casa and Feaky Styley use them.

I'm not sure really why its so much.. but it's like decks it's 50 bucks for some wood and epoxy.

What exacly is a baby death lens?

That is not a fisheye, that is a stupid little wide angle

if you want a good lens i suggest lookin for a kenko .43x fisheye lens. Also if you are really into video, get a century optics baby death, which is a century optics .3x 37mm screw fisheye

a fisheye widden the depth of the video, letting you get closer and having your video look better, in pro videos such as yeah right and such, they use century optics death lens.. bigger version for the 3ccd cameras such as the vx's.

its good enough...
itll roably work for what ur doing if ur looking for a cheap one. it is fisheye-its .43 mm. pros obviously use death lenses which cost shitloads of money and are like .32mm, and baby death is basically a smaller version, .37mm.

I personally would recommend this lens. My dad purchased it for me. its .38x magnifiaction and its a very nice lens. its pretty cheap but high quality. i use it all the time to film for my team rewind skateboards. the lens ur looking at i probably wouldn't buy.
