hey guys im going to be shooting water housing in the surf for wave shots and surfing
im looking for the look of a wide fisheye, and am trying to guess what might work best
i have been adapting to ef for my longer lenses with good results, thee 300mm2.8 cannon is a dream at 1200mm @2.8 for tripod work
im looking at native c or cs mount for the fisheye to get it small and wide enough
im looking at https://www.amazon.com/Fujinon-FE185C086HA-1-C-Mount-Fisheye-Cameras/dp/B00HSY339Q/ref=pd_day0_421_4?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=B00HSY339Q&pd_rd_r=ZBTZY60JTQ288HJV32QC&pd_rd_w=BX2ya&pd_rd_wg=rNUkb&psc=1&refRID=ZBTZY60JTQ288HJV32QC

any thoughts?
I have that same 2,7mm f/1.8 Lens, and it is great.
The only difference is, that my Lens does not have an Iris-Control. So it is just f/1.8 all the time and cant be changed.
I used it a lot on my Nikon, but i dont have a Chronos yet. I think it would be great on the Chronos.
It Provides a 185° Field of View and is producing a circular image on my Nikon1 Sensor.
Keep in mind, if you want to use it in a waterproofe Case: This Lens also has no Focus Ring!
So you focus it by unscrewing it from the Mount.
That means you will need to put those thin c-Mount Spacers between the Lens and the mount to lock the Focus and prevent it from Further unscrewing if you move the Camera around a lot.
Otherwise a realy wide, nice Lens.
I got mine for 200€ or 250€ (used, i think).
Somewhere around that Price, cant exactly Remember.
But those with the Iris Ring tend to be a bit more expensive, from what i have seen.

I added some Pictures to the Post.
Samples Taken with Nikon J5, unedited, just Downscaled for web.
Other Lenses shown are:
Pentax 4.2mm f/1.6
Pentax 6mm f/1.2
I got those two for pretty cheap.
around 30-40€ as far as i can remember.
