[QUOTE="MessiDub, post: 103467, member: 12068"] Hi all! New guy here so apologies if this is a silly line of questions (I tried searching and didn't find an answer). So I've been having a ton of fun with my D5100, went over to B&H today to get a few goodies. Snagged a Opteka 0.35X fisheye lens, [url=http://opteka.com/35x.aspx]Opteka 0.35x High Definition II Wide Angle Panoramic Macro Fisheye Lens for Digital Cameras[/url] , and I was all excited to shoot some bent pictures. This is what they advertise: [ATTACH=CONFIG]24004._xfImport[/ATTACH] The way the sales person at B&H made it sound was thread this bad boy on and get winners everytime. All I've managed thus far is shots so blurry you can't discern at all what time I'm taking picture of (I tried it on my 18-55, my 55-200, and my 35mm, going from all the way zoomed in to zoomed out, from one end of focus to the the other, aperture all over this place, and still no joy). Am I missing something here? or did I just get taken for a ride by a good salesmen? Is there some setting I'm missing out on perhaps? Are fish eye converters just not cool with my base lenses? the D5100? Any insight would be greatly appreciated, no going to lie I was really bummed that i can't get it to work after being in B&H (place is AWESOME) Dave M. P.S. Mods sorry if this is in the wrong sub forum. [/QUOTE]
