There's a couple different ways you could get an inexpensive fisheye. One is to look for screw-on adapters like these ones (completed auctions): http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1384858632 http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1383834180 The other is to look for actual fisheye lenses made by third-party companies, like this one (again, a completed auction): http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1387972118 When I wanted a cheap fisheye I decided to go with the Zenitar 16/2.8. It was only a little bit more money than a fisheye filter, and that made it worth it for me. I haven't taken any daylight shots with it yet, so I can't judge its optical performance, but the night ones turned out acceptable in the 4x6's I had made. chris
