Hey guys. I'm looking to buy a fisheye lens for my digital camera I have, but not positive about which one to get/to make sure I'm getting once that will work how I want it.
First off, my camera is an Olympus C5060 Wide Zoom, 5 megapixels. The lens ( directly from Olympus site ) is an Olympus aspherical glass 4x zoom lens 5.7 22.8mm (27 110mm equivalent in 35mm photography). In order to mount any lenses I need a lens adaptor which I am going to buy. The threads on the end of that are 52mm I'm pretty sure.
The fisheye will be used strictly for bike pictures, and I won't be using the fisheye otherwise. I want to make sure the fisheye I get is a full-frame, unlike some others I have seen which make the pictures a circle inside a black box.
I don't want to spend very much, and I'm fine with buying one off of ebay as it seems to have some kickass deals on lenses/lens packages. I can't seem to find a package that has a fisheye lens also.
Can anyone help me figure out where to buy the lens, which lens to buy, and how to make sure it will be full-frame. The other thing is, which zoom do i want... .45x, .25x? Is .25x going to make my pictures seem too far away? Please help me out here, any links would be great. I'm looking to spend under $100.
