any fisheye with 58mm threads will work but remember with lenses what you pay for is what you get and you can mess up a good camera by putting crappy glass on it.

yeah id say so if you really want the best quality lens you can buy. pretty much every fisheye shot you see in a major skate film is from a death lens.

I'm also looking into a fisheye lens for my camera but i have a sony similar to the HDR-XR500V. It looks almost exactly the same only one year older. Any suggestions on good ones under 250ish?
