Fisheye on a powershot?
1

I know this camera is all about the zoom range but why haven’t I seen anyone else adapt a fisheye onto this camera and if anyone has how did you go?

Veledge 43mm Fisheye Lens 0.3X

Managed to fit it with a lens filter adapter then a 58 - 43mm step down ring so stoked. If I remember I will share some of the shots next week once I can upload them.

Re: Fisheye on a powershot?

Would love to see some shots. Personally I feel that fisheyes are not liked by many due to the circular vignette hole that it causes but I think ppl don't realize they should zoom out to get rid of any vignetting.

It would be nice to see a before and after image of how the fisheye lens changes the angle.

SX50 has interchangeable lenses? I thought it had a fixed zoom lens.

Filter adapter ring to 58mm then a 58mm to 43mm step down ring then the fisheye. I got all adapter parts off eBay

I mainly setup like this to film skateboarding so I’ve been adjusting my settings still working out how to get best focus I’ll get more photos this week or some frame grabs from video

Screen shot from video. He was flying that’s why it’s blurred but the whole video looks sick

Very nice shots! Fisheyes are extremely underrated if you know how to use them. Really captures the whole scene.

I've been holding out buying one for a good price and branded name but can just never seem to find them where I am at.

In the mean time I'm just enjoying the GoPro 9 with max lens mod, doesn't give you fisheye but wide enough.

Re: Fisheye on a powershot?

Here's a fisheye shot from the Gopro 11 with max lens mod attached, the top left area is not vignetting but rather the roof of the building i was standing on:

about 15mm to 16mm FF equivalent
