How to make a fisheye lens

Firts you need these three things, 1st is the PVC pipe or tube RM4, 2nd ( i dont know whats the name of this thing anyway ) but its that thing that you normally see on the door to see the other side of the door. Mine is the 180 degrees version, you can grab a 200 degree but its much more expensive RM20 and lastly a polystyrene board ( RM2,3/4 argghh whatever ) *sweat

All i know its been only tested successfully with a kit lens its better if you’re using around 70mm focal length, if you’re using your standard kit lens which is equivalent to 52mm or 55mm diameter buy the 2″ pipe, it will snuggly fit right in.

cut the polystyrene board to fit like this, stack it with two layer if you can.

without this thing it wont work, soo if you buy one you’ll get two separate section.

punch a hole through then put the back part like this.

now you should be able to screw the front part in, and viola!

I’d rather share it with you guys, its all been done before by someone else.

take care and good luck! ;)
