    A fisheye lens effect can be copied in PhotoShop. I don't know about the lens you are posting I have never used one....

    I have never used one of those lenses before, but I do have an inexpensive fishey that I got on ebay a few years ago.

    The fisheye topic comes up every once in a while, and with a little searching on this site, you will find some good discusions. Check out this thread to see what others, including myself, have suggested in the past.

    Well, I was looking at the Zenitar lenses and Peneleg (sorry spelling may be wrong) and they are manual focus lenses, If this fisheye adapter was connected to my lens wouldnt it be an AF lens? What would happen? I have heard these lenses are decent, but not as good as a real fisheye.

    The AF should work with one of the lenses that you linked too. I believe they screw onto the end of another lens like a filter would. I'm guessing that this will cause a loss of light tho, which may or may not affect the AF on your camera. If you loose to much light, the AF may not work at all. But like I said before, I have never used one of these lenses so I don't know for sure.
