best thread ever. It's a super wickedly wide angle lense. they work good for follow shots, or anything close up. you get so much into the area, so it's hard to miss on follows.

it's a camera lens that distorts the image to give it a round look and allowing you to see more. quite cool. see below.

Fisheye lens



From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia





In photography, a fisheye lens is a wide-angle lens that takes in an extremely wide, hemispherical image. Originally developed for use in astronomy

and called "whole-sky lenses", fisheye lenses quickly became popular in

general photography for their unique, distorted appearance. They are

often used by photographers shooting broad landscapes to suggest the

curve of the Earth.
