Wideangle polaroid?

[JKeena]

I'm not even sure what forum to post this in...

I've been toying with the idea for my more artsy needs. I used to have a snap on wide angle lens for my only Sony HandyCam camcorder and if you manually masking taped it over the lens and flip it backwards it would give you a fish eye affect. Maybe this would work on and old polaroid camera? I don't have the lens anymore so I can't test it but am trying to find one on ebay.
Thoughts? Ideas? I'm in love with the idea and trying to make a little flip book of secret skateboarding spots (fullpipes, warehouses, old barn ramps, pools, etc.) but some of the spots are tight and I can't back up enough to get everything on the polaroid. Any solutions or ideas would be great! What ch'all got? Thanks! -Justin

Hmmm....might be worth a try. Either it will work, or it won't - and there's only one way to know....

A question in my mind, though, is this: If these 'secret spots' are so tight they won't fit in a normal shot - what in the world makes you think they're safe for zipping around on a skateboard?
