EXI fisheye?

[Shaneo]

Has anyone used the century optics .45 "fisheye" 0HD-FESU-EX1 on their EX1? I was wanting to see a sample of the shot it gives before I purchase...and is Century Optics the ONLY company making a fisheye for this camera? What's up with Raynox? Only telephoto and macro!?! Why hasn't anyone stepped up to this?

I use this one with a step down ring. I originally bought it for my Nikon DSLR, but it works with the EX1 reasonably well.

Thanks for the reply. You use a step down? It says it's for 52, 58 & 62mm thread...the EX1 is 77mm...do you have to zoom in to avoid vignetting?

It's a circular fisheye - I don't think it's possible to have the image fill frame. You see the whole circle.
