Going Wide... Fisheye wide

Hi all, I have a NYC skate tour coming up and figure it would be a good time to look into wide/fisheye adapters for the HMC150. Looks like my pic at the moment is the
Century Precision Optics Fisheye Adapter Lens for Panasonic AG-HPX170/AG-HMC150. Has anyone used this new lens adapter yet? If so, how is it? Vignetting? Horrible Horrible black ring? I hope not and would not think so, but some impute/reassurance would be nice. Thanks all.

thank you for this video comparison mark! it looks as if the .4 fisheye does not suffer from vignetting on maximum wide, am i correct? if so, this will be my lens of choice over the 16x9 inc. fisheye.
 
the xtreme should be out soon. no word on if it has vignetting or not. but its $3600.

and i use the .4 century.

You are welcome. Yes you are correct, the .4 does not suffer from vinetting on maximum wide.

For the past couple of years I have been shooting with a fisheye on my Z1 that had vinetting, but it didn't show up in the LCD, but it was in the overscan. I knew I had to zoom in about 15% to resolve it, but sometimes I would forget. It's great to use the Century .4 because I don't have to zoom in to get rid of the vinetting.
 
I also have the 0.45x century fisheye and I'm really happy with that lens. Crystal clear image, no vignetting and it uses bayonet mount. I really prefer bayonet over screw mount.
 
Doesn't seem like its finding your index file, whats a direct link to one of your html files in your folder? I tried index.htm, index.html, index.php...

You have to:
A - have an index file
B - let the server know what format that index file is in your .htaccess (they are usually set up for the ones i mentioned)
C - folder permissions

I can provide a verity of solutions, let me know if you need assistance.

I have some clips online, but for some reason many people can't access the web server (could be a DNS problem or something).
