    Can't you get a fisheye lens for a regular camera?

    Of course but I don't have a regular camera :( Just a basic digital one. Oh and a Polaroid one somewhere, but since I can't find it I might just ask for a new one. That and a few books are the only things I'd like for xmas and my bday, and a couple Deerhoof albums I can't find on Frostwire and the Chloe perfume.

    Well, torrents are a different way to download music. P2P systems are lacking sometimes and you can download albums and discographies with torrents.

    I searched for Deerhoof on isoHunt, one of the biggest sites - they got several albums. Click.

    If you're using Windows, I'd recommend downloading uTorrent, it's fast and light. Tomato Torrent for Mac, that's what I use.

    i'm not positive, but i dont think they make special cameras that shoot exclusively in fisheye.

    what kind of digital do you have? you may be able to switch out lenses on it just like a film camera.

    or photoshop will probably offer this effect for you.

    otherwise you could get a used 35mm for cheap and a used fisheye lens for it. if you know how to use a manual camera, this will be your best best because it will be least expensive. i got a Nikon FM10 years ago and it was $120 brand new, so used should be way cheaper, especially since nobody but photography students seem to use manual adjustment film cameras anymore

    if they do make special cameras that only shoot fisheye, i'd almost be afraid it would cost more!

    I don't think so.. it's a REALLY basic Kodak EasyShare camera.. it doesn't come with add-ons :/ I can't believe I broke my Nikkon CoolPix one.

    hmm i'm seeing all kinds of easyshares

    i dont know about kodak, but they make good photo paper

    if you can't switch out lenses, maybe you can create the effect in another way, like with whatever software you use with it or something.

    i dont know :p
