Make your own inexpensive fish eye webcam

Native fish eye lenses can be very expensive, a cheap and nice alternative is a multiplier lens that you can attach to your native lenses.

Trying the fiseye lens on the webcam

Last week I bought for Anna a Opteka .35x Super Wide Angle Panoramic Macro Fisheye Lens (Amazon Uk, Amazon US) that I found to be affordable and very good.

Now, instead of attaching this lens to your camera like you normally do, this one is attached to your lens filter attachment ring and because lenses have different diameters for filter rings, the lens which connects to a 52mm ring, comes with adaptors to connect it to 58mm and 67mm filter rings and this is when I started having an idea.

You know, this lens is to be put in front of another lens, so what about attaching it to your webcam and have some wide fun with it? Nothing simpler!
