this a link to "build" your own fisheye lens. Tell me if you think it is worth the money or if it is too sketchy...?

not worth it. buy a quality lense. that thing suffers from severe chromatic abberation and softening as well as looking like dung. no offense to the developer, but its certainly not a PRO level peice of kit. if you dont care or dont have any money.. perhaps you can call it a day with something like this though.

i don't know man, that's not a bad looking shot that he gets out of it. agreed, the DIY piece looks like crap but what is produces isn't all that bad.

its not the poopiest thing ive ever seen for sure. the image is passable for stuff pending what your doing, but, the guys name is "neil" which means hes a loser ..check out the abberations on the rocking chair. and everything else.. its like they are all glowing rainbow colors.. its pretty bad

but whatever suits your needs.. i just dont think its PRO.. does it work.. yes. but you get what you pay for. its just not a great peice of optical engineering is all. its a simple DYI solution that I personally wouldnt use for anything serious. but again.. if its good enough for what your doing.. why not?
