DSLR Hack – How to Make a Fisheye Lens!

fisheye tin cam: final build

You know commercial DSLR fisheye lenses are very expensive, why not make your own with a regular peephole for a door plus some foam and Canon EOS T-mount?

I took the body cap off my camera, and held the two lenses in front of the body. Looking through the viewfinder and experimenting with the lens positions, I was able to come up with an estimate for how far the lenses needed to be apart from each other and the camera body to make a reasonable image. Running around loosely holding lenses in front of the camera tends to be fraught with danger, however, so the next step was to build a permanent enclosure for them.
