Wide angle lens	Can't Post

Does anybody know where I can get a wide angle lens for my GL1 for under 150? I dont wanna pay alot for a lens unless its a fisheye with lots of bend and distortion because im shooting for a biking and skateboarding movie and I want the tricks to appear larger than they really are. Help me out if you can.

Many of the mailorder houses carry the Raynox line (including B&H). They offer a 0.7x, 0.5x, and 0.3x adapter in their XL----Pro line for the GL1-size lenses. Prices are under $100 depending on the model and dealer. Don't know what the quality is though.

My name is Eric and I'm 16 years old. I live in Sweden and my main interest is videophotography....most x-tremesports, (like snowboard, skateboard, motocross) movies.
If you want a fisheyelens under 100$ or less!!! do this.
Ask anyone if they have got an old diaprojector, or maybe you got one of our own. Take the negative lens, and use it as a fisheyelens. The field of view will be about 140-180 degrees.
If you want a more advanced instruction, mail me: eoh1202@student.skelleftea.se
....next week, i will probably have a lot of example images and pictures which show the lenses......
otherwise, if you need an wideangle lens under 150$, surf to:
