| I didn't realize I had a fish-eye capability. When I bought my video camera 3 years ago, I was talked into buying a wide-angle add-on lens. That didn't work out well, by the time you zoomed in enough to eliminate the vignetting, you were back to the zoom level you started with. But... the screw-off Macro (back end of the wide-angle lens) was very useful for extreme close-up, which you can see in some 2007 extreme macros taken with that video camera, and now, it seems the objective lens is useful as well. Just what-iffing, I placed it on the main lens of my still camera, but it couldn't focus. But, if you put it in macro mode, voila- the autofocus latches onto the image from the separate wide-angle lens! And I get great near-fish-eye effect. More experimentation will be forthcoming. Things I would do differently: Nothing. Mods: None (except white balance adjust). | jul13 | |||||||||||
