Fish Eye

Hi All

I have a Sony A57 with a 18-55mm lens which came with the body, 70-300mm lens and a 35mm lens.

I'm looking at a cheap way to create a fish eye effect (like the below)

Any suggestions? as ive seen

Should work no problem but the biggest thing to watch out for is that the cheaper add on lenses will degrade quality. The camera will do what it can but it might not be enough. Same with the edges, espect the same sort of blur but I think not every photograph HAS to be razor sharp and pixel perfect so worth a shot.

Hey thanks for the reply

Yeah you pay for what you get but like you said it hasent got to be picture perfect I'm just looking to takle cool shots plus the center of the image (from other photos with the lens) is fine the edges seem the issue but im not to fussed.

cheers
