	FreeTheJellyFish says: This is my beast! Reversed rubber lens hood, fits over a 28 - 50 mm Tamron which is attached to a D200. The actual peep hole is around 5cm in length and slides through a small cardboard cylinder greased with candle wax allowing it to move the peephole near or farther from the lens. So yea, thats my setup! Posted 61 months ago. (permalink)

	artemis the phoenix says: try using the cap of the end of something large ... i've used one that comes from the post office from the end of a tube that you send rolled up posters in etc... then just cut a small hole for the peep hole viewer to stick thru... like the red disk in this photo......

	jhench1638 says: I'm having some troubles with focusing my fisheye. Even if i set my point and shoot to manual I can't seem to get it dialed in right. I've also tried the macro modes to no avail. But I know that it can be in focus because when it tries to autofocus it brings it into focus and then takes it out again. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

	SimonWardenier says: Here's how I did it: -Peephole (200°) --> sawed off a metal piece that didn't serve any purpose, to make it shorter -cut a hole in case used to contain 35mm film -taped the whole thing to a UV-filter cost: 20 Euro Results (so far): Posted 22 months ago. (permalink)
	Ahsan Khokhar says: No offense but making a fish eye with a peephole gave me results worse than shit. It made me feel like I had wasted my time. Then I made a new one just yesterday. The results are a world apart Here's how it looks (It's under construction) : Originally posted 14 months ago. (permalink) Ahsan Khokhar edited this topic 14 months ago.
