Options For Lens Besides Death Lens

[gfa]

This is my first post and I am very excited to join this great website. So heres my question I just bought a Dvx100b and I have some money left over to buy a Fisheye or a wide angle. I don't have enough cash to buy a death lens so what would be a good alternative that doesn't cost an extreme amount?

I know how u feel man. Those Century lens are super pricey. Check this link out for now.

I had them all for years, Century wides and fisheyes, big bucks! Now I know what I really wanted, the 35mm adapter, much better resolution than the Centurys. I'm getting the SGPro. Check out the grabs and footages on this site, barely anything with the Century's, many with the 35mm's...so much sharper!

Did you do this? I feel like this will lessen the quality. Any other options?

no, i didn't do this. I have the .3x fisheye. It will definitley lessen the quality but you get what you pay for. Light loss is unavoidable. The other option you save for the century.

Save for the ultra fish-eye. If you don't mind the vignetting.

You live in the states... its cheap there :laugh:

Which 35mm adapters would you recommend? I have the DVX100B.

Thanks!
