The Spiratone 8mm lens* I have had for 40 years cost me $49.95 at a local camera store in San Francisco. So $300 is about right for todays version. Note that the new version is also labelled "HD" whatever the hell that means. "Is that 1080p or 740p mr salesman."
* actually a threaded ad-on to a 50 mm lens for a 180° field of view. Or any lens with 49mm filter threads. Covers full frame as a fish-eye with a 105mm or 120mm lens. Any camera! Sharp? Who cares! Used it mostly for shooting fireworks shows from the barge they fired off the show . On Nov 26, 2012, at 22:42 , P. J.
