Raynox Fisheye

Post by rankz »

Does anyone have any experience with the Raynox qc-303 0.3x semi fisheye? I want a cheap fisheye for filming close, tight shots of skateboarding that my camera ussually struggles to get because of space. I also want it for the lovely curver effect that a fisheye lenses produces.
Is 0.3x a good magnification to get fairly close and offer a good curvey fisheye effect? Or do I need something a little better?

I figured there would be a YouTube video of this already so I did a search and I found this skateboarding footage using the exact lens.

And here is a dude with a fingerboard...

Sorry that this is about the only help I can give you but I would assume you'd be able to get fairly close and still capture what you want to.
