fisheye lens for nikon

[rich315]

Hi all,

was wondering about fisheye lenses for nikon, obviously seen the 10.5 etc, but noticed opteka fish eye attachments, was wondering if anyone had tried these and had examples of both if possible, opteka is considerably cheaper but is it a fad or a cheap solution?

No no no!!

Forget the screw in's! It's like looking through a spy hole!

10.5mm if you have the money or get a Sigma, Tokina.

Taken with the 10.5mm w/ D70s

thats a nice shot, does it give it full to the frame i.e. no black outline? will be on d300 so cropped

i saw some demo pics of screw ins and they look a bit lloyd grosemon - looking through keyhole style

The D70s is a cropped sensor, it will work fine on a D300.

if your going to be using it a lot then go for the 10.5. Theres no black vignette and it is pretty sharp, i use one a lot and its a really good lens.
