Get a super wideangle, they are soooo much fun, bay far my favourite lens!!

1. Fisheye and wideangle are different. Don't get a fish, that will get played fast.
2. Don't get that slow of a lens. Get a 70-200 or something faster.

fisheyes get whack really fast. A good fast wide angle is seldom matched. As for telephoto, I would personally buy a better brand if I was getting one, or at least one that's much faster...

yea the place for this thread is media and arts sorry

 

[sickskisman]

a fisheye lens is a wide angle lens that takes in an extremely wide, hemispherical image.

the key thing is that a fisheye produces a spherical distortion (not hemispherical) whereas a wide angle just bends things slightly. A quality wide angle has no barrel distortion (strait lines are actually strait, but depth is still exaggerated.)

Exactly.There is a gigantic difference between a wide angle and a fisheye.
