Right now i'm working with a Sony Handycam DCR-TRV22, and a cam caddie. Occasionly i'll have a peephole fisheye geek

but i'm having trouble finding a good cheap fisheye for it. Kenko, hopefully. Anyone?

You know where the best place is to get them, and stepping rings?

I'm pretty sure my camera's a 30mm. If i got a 37mm fisheye, i'd need a step up ring, right?

He's very legit. Got the fisheye about a week (less) after it was dispatched, and the estimated time was 2-4 weeks. Go for it, can't beat the price, and it's a great lens.

Oh perfect dude.

Now i found this, but it says it's for a 30mm lens to a 37mm camera, and i need the vice versa. Would it still work, or do i need something else?
