Matthew_Gibson Posted January 31, 2008 Report Share Posted January 31, 2008 I have a Panasonic Mini DV camera (Panasonic NV-GS80EB-S). Just wondered where I can get add-on lenses from. The Filter is 37mm. But I seen on in a vid somewhere that sort of sprung and fitted snug around the lense. I'd like a fish eye. and just a Normal filter (CLEAR) to protect the main lense. I have no idea which shop sells em!Any help would be great!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

*PHIL* Posted February 1, 2008 Report Share Posted February 1, 2008 got my fisheye from jessops, was like 15 or 19 quid or something, fitted nearly all lense sizes for mini dv cams as it was sprung mounted, cant go wrong Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonny Jones Posted February 3, 2008 Report Share Posted February 3, 2008 Generally spring-mounted lenses are ok if you're on an extreme budget. Those of you with them, did you find the quality was really poor? Especially if you zoomed in? My advice to anybody is always opt for screw-on lenses. The optics will always be better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greetings Posted February 12, 2008 Report Share Posted February 12, 2008 You'll be best off with a Raynox if you're looking to spend a small amount. The Raynox HD-3030 is a semi-fisheye, 0.3x angle, as standard comes with a 37mm thread and loads of different adaptors. It costs about 75 pounds over here but I guess the UK price should be about the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
