So i bought a t2i kit with a 18-55mm and a 75-200mm. i need a fisheye for filming skateboarding but dont know which one. Im thinking about selling the 75-200mm but i could use that for nature photagraphy. I just need a cheap fish that works well!
 
you don't "need" a fisheye for skateboarding, its an incredibly overused and boring look, edits with it just piss me off honestly, its pretty annoying. but if you must, follow eheath's advice... a properly shot edit will look better by miles then the same recycled lolol i have a handle and a fisheye im gonna hold it right near their board as they do a kickflip! style.

p.s. handles are pro so get one to make your footage much better.
 
while i can appreciate a good skateboarding edit such as

Filming skateboarding with a fisheye is far from boring if you consider the fact that filming skating is generally not about the shot, but the about the trick.
 
same could be said for a ski or whatever edit, but would you like it if it was shot entirely on a fisheye?
 
it could be said but it doesn't happen because the norm is to actually make something out of your shots.
and i'd watch a ski edit that was filmed entirely with a fisheye if the skiing was good.
 
its just so bland and generic, we don't need another fisheye skate edit in my opinion. if the tricks can be filmed in front of a fisheye, they can probably be filmed in front of something that doesnt hurt my eyes.
