I was wondering if anyones knows whether the Century .3 Fisheye Lens has alot of vignetting/distortion when used with the FX-1

vignetting is pretty awfull on the one i use, the vignetting is only on one side it s pretty weird, on the other hand the distorsion is pretty good

was that maybe how it was mounted on your cam?

 

[mbv]

it s a bayonet mount

oh. So was it worth the 750?

you have to judge for yourself, the vignetting is a bad thing for sure but century got a nice quality.

yea the vignetting is pretty awful with the cheaper .3x fisheye from century
if your going to spend money and you hate vignetting i suggest just buying the 3000 dollar fisheye, its a little heavy but its an awesome lens, i had both and the "xtreme fisheye" is way better

I hardly have $750 for a lens, let alone $3000
