what is a Fisheye??
Yasko wrote: lol okay, kidding aside, a fisheye is essentially a super wide angle lens that they don't bother doing distortion correction on, so it gives that nice fishbowlish appearance. Fun lenses to use. They come in about 4mm to 17mm. Lower focal lengths will give a more "fisheye" effect.
And yes, should you want one, go for the dedicated fisheye lens over the attachments. Much better image quality
In terms of usefulness, well, it has limited uses. For most it's just a fun lens to dink around with. I used to have a Sigma one, and it didn'tsee much use, so I sold it to my neighbor's teenager, who skateboards a lot. He uses it tons.
But to a certain extent. I use the hell out of mine. A fisheye is a totally fun lens. Marcie you can see some photos I put on here shot with the 10.5 Nikon fish in the lens section on how often do you use one. Once you learn a fisheyes limitations you can shoot quite a bith with it, and now you can even use programs like Hemi to flatten the image. It makes it look like a rectilinear lenses view then.
