So I found an old sony video 8 handycam, and it has a pretty dope wide angle/fisheye lens! Is this lens in any way compatible to a canon t3i?? (Getting one soon) Click for larger image

Duct tape and some Russian engineering.

Unless it's a Century optics one, not really.

Nope. Not really useable.

It might be something you could slap on a newer handicam kinda thing, but I'm almost sure its not something you can use on a DSLR i'm afraid.
