I want to buy a fish-eye lens for a nikon D60?
I have the origional kit lense if anyone knows what that is. I'm just wondering what sized thread I need to buy and what to recommend. I'm look for a low end <$100 attachment.
The filter thread on the kit 18-55mm DX lens is 52mm.
Something like this would work: http://www.adorama.com/...NFE52.html
It's $39, comes in the 52mm size and is a 0.42x optic so at the 18mm setting on your kit lens you might get a perfectly round image!
