Fisheye Lens for XL2

[Rik Andino]

Does anyone know of a good fisheye lens for the Canon XL2?

 

Is there's a lens that can give that warped wide-angle look to video?

 

Is there some kind of video attachment or something?

 

 

Thanks

Make sure this will work with the new 20x lens before you buy it. Drop an e-mail to Century Precision Optics and ask them. This is a high-quality adaptor.

Also, if it's in your budget to rent the P+S mini 35 adapter, you could use any number of PL mount wide-angle lenses. Might be good if you're going for a very optically 'clean' look...

Not a big fan of the P+S mini 35 adapter it's too soft.

 

What I'm looking for is a good fisheye for a music video shoot

Trying to create that warped skateboard video effect.

 

I was thinking...

I could use the P+S adapter and get a Peleng 8mm fisheye

But that's just too much money for a video shot on a DV camera

Might as well shoot it with my S16 camera.

 

Anyways I really like these century optic attachments

 

Thanks for the advice.
