Post by: dav-aberdeen on June 25, 2010, 10:53:44 pm
hello everyone, i have been toying with the idea of trying a bit of those fish eye photos.... something different to still photos i think. i have an olympus e420 (baby dslr) can someone please point me in the right direction as to what is required etc and possibly a suitable place to buy one of what ever it is. thanks again.

I know nothing about the subject, but i think all you need to do is buy a fish eye lens and you are in business.  :happy2:

Not cheap mind.

As TC said all you need is a fish eye lens and some imagination :happy2:

But they are expensive probably around £600 mark new but you can get a Fish eye converter lens for alot cheaper around the £150 the quality of pics wont be as good as a full fish eye lens but you will still get a very good quality pic but unless your a pro you wouldnt be able to tell the difference anyway.
