Samples with the a $20.00 .45x Wide Converter on the O/14-42ED. I had to use MF because AF got confused with the added cheapo optic.

I also adjust the barrel distortion the most I could without saving it and then applying more..
It really isn't as bad a real Fisheye on its own.

Too bad for the vignetting, otherwise it would be really nice.

If I zoom past about 20mm, the vignette is gone. I will go out tomorrow and take some w/o the vignette, it should be about a 100* view (18mm FOV on a 35mm). Still pretty wide.. Purple CA though, but easily fixed.

Some at about 18-25 to avoid any vignette. I also did some Barrel Distortion correction... FOV runs from about 80* to 110*
With a .45x Magnification, the actual focal length is very close to marked FL on the lens.
I also used "Dynamic" film mode on my G1, default settings.
