How to figure out my lense size?

I would like to get a fisheye lense for my nikon D7000. I don't know what mm to get I have two lenses thus far 18-105mm and a 55-200mm. Whitch lense would be better to use the fisheye lense with? I think the 18-105mm would be but i'm still learning the lenses.

Neither really.

A fisheye lens will cost you around $800 and up if you get a true fisheye, one that can "see" 180 degrees

You are asking for a cheap (under $40) add-on lens which may or may not see a full 180 degrees.

If you buy a 0.25x lens and do the math, the 18-55 mm will give you the best chance of getting what you want. The filter size of the 18-55 mm lens is 52 mm

Don't put a junk filter on your good camera. Get the Nikon 10.5mm DX fisheye. I have that lens with my D90, and it is an excellent lens.

The D7000 would work well with the 8mm f3.5 fisheye that's sold under various names (bower, samyang, rokinon, etc).

A screw-on adapter would probably do something fishy on your 18-105 if you don't mind loss of most of your image quality. It takes 67mm
