Fisheye conversion lens



Hi Kato,
I used to own a Raynox 180pro conversion lens - which i used with a sony 707 (5 or 6 mpix?) 'prosumer camera'. 
The is a heavy duty piece of kit, well made, solid and for it's intended use, probably as good as you'll find.
I was able to stitch reasonable quality panoramas with this set-up. (i could hunt out some examples if you need to see them)
However, even with much careful testing and adjusting (of my tripod head) i always found that there were stitching errors - probably a mix of issues including the sheer number of images required for each spherical.
I also found that the sharpest part of the image was never super sharp and the edge of the image was very soft, with much fringing - especially compared to the quality achieved with a prime canon lens on a DSLR.
So, if you really need to keep to a budget, go for the raynox lens, but  if you're shooting for clients (and money), i'd probably invest in a good DSLR and a good wide prime.
Hope that helps, David
