hey guys,

i'm looking to get a new lens for my t2i. recently got my t2i for christmas and i'm relatively new to the whole thing. just wondering if i should get a fisheye, what type and link a video with the fisheye in it so i can see how it looks.

thanks

Theres pretty much 2 options, cheap 6mm/8.5mm fisheye (depending on the brand, same ether way) it causes lens distortion (bendy lines) or the Tameron 10-16 f2.8 costing about twice as much. There are a few lenses similar to the 10-16.

Just check out my thread, I went with the 6mm because of the price but now I want the 10-16 because it has no lens distortion.

Also, that lens is considered a UWA (Ultra wide angle), which is very different and does not classify as a fisheye. The reason most people buy fisheyes is because of the curved lines, they can make tricks look faster/larger if you know how to film with them properly.
To this day I cannot find any kind of practical use for fisheyes outside of action sports...

perspective shots

timelapses

I've seen them used well in all of these categories. Made for interesting an unique shots!
 
You should take a look at the sigma 10mm. However, i'd get a wide angle such tokina 11-16 before getting a fisheye if you don't already have one.depend on what lense set up you have But this is my opinion as a photog.

 
not all the time,

i t looks kinda crazy when you correct the distortion but there is still such a wide angle.
