anyone know of a good fisheye for 37mm threads?

i've got one right now but it makes a weird blue tint to everything and its really annoying

Raynox are garbage. Best lens for you is gonna be the baby death. (Century Optics FTW). You get what you pay for and Raynox/Kenko's just have terrible quality glass(lose quality) and aren't as wide.

haha...yeah. Get yourself a nice camera and then shove a sh*tty piece of plastic in front of it. That makes a lot of sense. Rolling Eyes

Not really. It's about quality filmmaking- something you know very little about. Now why don't you run along and go surfing since you're done with making wake films.

i made a topic on skateperception and most people were saying to get a kenko lens

i found one for 25 bucks and one for 40, hopefully its an improvement on what i have

When shooting with a 1 chip camera and then putting on a 30 dollar fisheye, there is no where to go but down. You are going to lose a lot of picture quality.

Save up and go Century Optics.

i dont know......... i had a cokin wide angle before (.5x), and that was really clear footage, you could hardly tell between footage from my camera and footage from a gl1.

i decided to buy a another cokin lens. i got a "super wide .43x" which if its anything like the last cokin i had before it, will be a huge improvement on the clarity of the shot.

oh i have one more question, is a .43x lens .43x wide no matter what brand you get? some people were trying to tell me that a kenko .43x would be wider than a cokin .43x lens, and im not buying it.

here's the lens i have now: ( it makes everything look blue and has horrible lens flair)
