Neuro Posted April 6, 2006 Report Share Posted April 6, 2006 At the risk of sounding silly, what is a Fish Eye lens exactly? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HIGGZY Posted April 6, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2006 As Bjorn has kindly showed us it a lense that allows you to take a picture witch looks like your looking through a glass ball, similar to the what the guy ( the one that does all the black magic) in robin hood and the prince of thieves uses when he makes a tescope....thats sad i know and a poor description.... If you cheek the anjuna beats gallery then go to Dance valley you can see more pics taken with a fish eye lense! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigsteve Posted April 7, 2006 Report Share Posted April 7, 2006 Last summer we bought a Canon digital camera with extra lenses (wide and telescopic) from an online shop that was based in France. I can't remember what the shop was called, but it worked out a lot cheaper and came with Euro/UK adaptors for the charging packs. Delivery was also very quick. As with any expensive online purchase, I'd recommend using your credit card to give you that bit of extra cover Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HIGGZY Posted April 9, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 9, 2006 hmm i use photoshop everyday as a designer but i have never come across a fillter where you create the same effect? I hope there is cos as you say till will save on the dollas. I know there is a wrap tool that allows you to bend images, this is usefull for creating images that look lables onto bottles etc. I shall have a look though.

bigsteve Posted April 14, 2006 Report Share Posted April 14, 2006 My memory's coming back and it was Pixmania we used. I think its a UK site, but they ship from France http://www.pixmania.co.uk/uk/uk/home.html However, I did a quick search on it for 'Fish eye Lens' and it came up with nothing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HIGGZY Posted April 14, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 14, 2006 My memory's coming back and it was Pixmania we used. Yeah i have bought a digital camera from there befor i would deffinatly recommend this site to anyone, lots of good reviews on there regarding all products. I have since found out that i really need to decide on what brand of camera to get, then get a lens of the same make because different brands have different lens fittings. Therefore i need to do some research concerning the price and quality of the lens's then buy the camera. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
