View Full Version : Round, curve look (fisheye) in XL2? Zia Basith April 20th, 2005, 12:11 AM Hi, I wanted find out what filter or lens would give me the round,curve look like a fisheye lens on XL2? Thanks, ZIA K. Clark April 20th, 2005, 12:44 AM Zia, One quick way is to use a Century Optics fisheye adapter: http://www.centuryoptics.com/products/prodv/xl1/fisheye_adapter/index.htm I think B&H has them for around $450. If your using the 3X lens this puppy will give you an approximate effective focal length of 1.5mm (a 116° angle of view) with a ton of distortion to boot.

Will this 3X fisheye adapter work with 20X lense on XL2? the reason I ask is because at centuryoptics.com, it says that it works with 16X lense. Thanks once again.
