^says it all^

This question is too broad. What exactly are you looking to do with one?

 

[zedd]

park filming specific, edits

 

[DorianF]

Most things look good in moderation, if its used to compliment the edit and is only a small portion of the shots then (IMO) its fine. As soon as you use it for the entire edit that is when it doesn't look good anymore

Depends on the camera.. I used my friends 5D with a nice wide angle and it looked nice

whut

a wide angle's not the same as a fisheye and that's not a pro or a con for it...

Fisheye: vignette

Wide angle: no vignette.

Pros:

-big field of view.

-distortion

- can get super close

Cons:

-sometimes too big of a field of view

-distortion

-have to get super close

True sometimes filming with a fish is a pain in the ass

I disagree that an entire fisheye edit looks bad. There is a right and wrong way to film with them and when done right it is much less obnoxious.

I agree however sometimes just a classy looking shot looks good.
