Fisheye Lens for Olympus

[Reidy36]

Does anybody know where i can get a fisheye lens for an Olympus E410.
Have seen one on ebay, not too sure about buying from Hong Kong though.

Any suggestions.

Thanks

Fisheye?

The only one Olympus currently do is the 8mm one that gives you 180 degree full frame.

Other than that I do not think there any that will fit straight onto the E410 without some form of adaptor. But then you have to add in x2 crop factor for the 4/3 lens

 

[who?]

I think that peleng (not sure about that spelling) do an 8mm. Not sure if sigma do one.

Given the dof you get with a fisheye I wouldnt be worried about using an adapter and manual settings.

Aaahhhh!!! One of those

They are designed to screw on to the front of your lens in the filter thread. Think they are really designed for the compacts.

Generally most people avoid them as they are not rated.
