magnification

[freddcow]

so i got a .5x fisheye a while back and it didnt really give me the cool curvy image you see in skate videos. i want to get another one that has that cool curvy image but i dont know if i should buy lower in magnification (.3x or .42x) or i should go higher like (.6 or something)

[hopelessfilmer]

um the magnifcation doesnt matter most of the time,, its just the lens's glass and how much it curves is waht makes the distortion u crave,,, tell me ur lens size,,,
(if u dont how to do that look at ur camera lens and it will say abunch of mumbo jumbo on it like f=wiei23 and such,, the last number right after a crossed out circle is ur lens size,,) tell me that

[freddcow]

haha i know what a lense size is. im not some idiot.

and mine just happens to be 37mm. what a suprise.

,,, your really lucky,, um i can give you a list of "curvy" distorted lenses that iv used ,,
first off
century .3 baby death lens(top of the line)
raynox HD-3031PRO (really good)
titanium super wide .42 fisheye (http://www.goshotcamera.com/product/LWM00137042S)
kenko digital fisheye sgw-043

i only felt like finding one link..srry

all the lenses with .3x maginification are all fake EXCEPT! the century lenses. .42 is ****ing stupid, but with the screw off macros lenses all you do is switch the middle glass element to make it concaved i believe it is. and baboom its distorted, get it in straight or vignetting will be a bitch.

What the hell is wrong with you, do you just hit the keyboard randomly when you type?

Get a kenko or a baby death..

baby death = 300 new

kenko = 30 new

obviously the baby death is far better than the kenko.
