Hi, I was wondering if someone could help me out, it would be much appreciated. I am in the market for a fisheye lense for my one chip mini DV camera. Where the lense would screw on to my camera it says it is 36mm. I am looking into a Kenko .43 because I know it is pretty cheap and that is fine for me seeing as how I am just starting out. Is .43 a fisheye or just wide angle? I want to know because I will be filming skateboarders and I must get pretty close. If the Kenko isnt a fisheye, could you please tell me of an inexpensive fisheye lense?

raynox makes a decent and cheap semi fisheye that produces some nice video. the kenko .43 is also a semi fisheye but won't fit on a 36 mm unless u get a step down ring. for some decent reviews and info for a newbie check out www.digitalskate.net its an informative site!
