Does anyone know of any toy or cheap fisheye lenses for the E-PL1.
Im not bothered about too much qaulity, though just something for Fun!

The Holga's dont seem wide enough for what i want.

Buy a front converter (not really recommended for the kit lens of E-PL1).
I can't think of anything appropriate for cheap.

A .45x will give a 7mm fisheye (about), at 14mm on the kit zoom... MkI should use MF on it... at 20mm you get a 10mm (About) with corner vignette a bit.. and can AF better..

at around 20mm (10mm) btw, it has fixable distortion at around the 20mm mark on your zoom... so a super wide with no distortion...I was about 20' in front of this building..

at about 16mm (8mm) eBay $20 for 40.5 Filter for O/14-42 ED MkI)

at 14mm (7mm)

Basically. divide the focal length in half with a .45x

eBay... $20-40
OR a better one for $100.00 or so at B&H etc,...
