Hi all,
Have a question i'd like to throw out there to hear your opinions on. Right now i'm shooting with a FUJI S602Z. I have some basic filters for it, PL, f-dl, and a UV, and a star filter. i also have a wide-angle and 2x teleconverter attachment as well...

well I have a couple extra bux, and am contemplating whether i wanna spend like 75 bux and get a couple ND filters, and some colored filters, or if I should get a fisheye lense for it that I saw on eBay.

obviously i know it's a matter of personal choice, but if you folks were in my position, which way do you think you'd go?

I've always liked fisheye as an artistic option. I've also been only marginally satisfied with the fisheye adapter I have for my Nikon 995. the problem with all of the low-buck fisheye adapters is really bad chromatic abberation & lack of sharpness at edges of FOV. If you crop out the last 10 degrees all around, they're not bad. Check out my Transportation Entry for example of the Nikon adapter results.
I doubt whether the crystal optics adapter will give any better results than the Nikon adapter did for me, and could be quite a bit worse.
the ND filters are useful, colored filters I would not bother with (use software), but get a good circular polarizer if you don't have one.

cool picture kirbic :) i have the sharpness issues with my telephoto adapter, like you mentioned, at the edges... that shot you got with the fisheye looks good. i am kinda worried about that kinda problem with the edges as well. i have a polarizer already... if i don't get any colored type filters, a close-up kit, and a graduated ND are candidates. Thanks!
