you have to zoom in to get rid of the vinniette (i think thats what you refer to as "the bubble frame") any ways you can zoom your camera in enough to get rid of it with out compromising the focus.

i think your best bet if you wnat that effect though is to go for a real nice fish eye, not some gay packaged ebay one that comes with your cam.

thats mostly because in any big film. they have the money to spend on really wide lenses that dont have distortion.

wide angles do have distortion. its just not as noticeable as a fisheye.

whats a uv lens?
if you are talking about a UV filter, then there is no distortion, because it has no curved glass elements. Wide angle lenses built for video cameras have distortion because they are cheaply made. wide lenses without distortion are usually $1,500+ and made for 35mm still film cameras and movie cameras such as super16mm, 35mm.

vignetting SP? is the black frame on the outside that jiggles around. This can be solved by turning off the steadycam.
