So, by December, I plan on getting a fish eye--i do rollerblading films--which require some close angles. I Hear they are very costy from 600 and up.
What is the best type of fish eye lens that i can by for an affordable price

Century Optics Mark 2 if you want the widest and most distored lens. But itll be about 750 dollars or more.

An alternative is the 16x9 inc. fisheye. Which is about 4 or 5 hundred i believe.
 
MK2, but if you don't like vig the Century Optics FEWA lens is nice. Not as wide but it has no vig for that clean wide look.
 
i recommend the century optics mk2 bayonet for dvx100....

but if thats out of your price range... (thats just under 800 new from amazon and such)

then you can get the more affordable, just as good of quality, less wide... 16x9 inc super fisheye lens...

this lens is screw on, has no vignetting.. and still provides a wide picture with some distortion... great lens...


i personally have the mk2 bayo, to film skateboarding
 
Opteka .3x Super wide fisheye.

You can find them brand new on ebay for about 250$.
I purchased one as soon as i got my camera. (for skateboarding)
Works perfect and looks amazing.
 
I have a Century Optics .3x fisheye Bayo mount, its very nice, really wide, lots of distortion. You can find them used for roughly $500. Or a cheaper, but still managable lens would be the Opteka .3x, it has similar distortion to the century lens, but its a screw mount, and the vignetting can get a little orange when in light, but it is only $250. New.
