LOL is it a clip on addition? as in it's not actually a lens but more a filter?

i've seen that happen but it can be rectified, my fish eye still hasn't arrived after 2 fucking weeks from those yank cunts!!!

I'd say it was a focusing issue but it seems that the engine bay is in focus, looks like it's been shot at f/0.1 :pmsl:

The fish eye basically screws on the end of my camera so is it a camera focusing issue you think?

look's like camera shake to me...

a faster shutter speed would of been more ideal imo

If you can, set a timer for 2 seconds too - push the shoot button and let go of the camera; it eliminates ALL camera shake.

I'd say it was the fish eye myself, out of all the screw-in fish eye's i've seen, non of them are sharp.

Edit - I've just noticed, you took the first one at 37mm, the second one was taken at 31mm and that's better, it might be that you're zoomed in and it's effecting the focus of the lens due to the fish eye being stuck on the end. Try a photo at 18mm and see if it's any better.

they usually clearly state the optimal focal length on the fish eye itself, i know mine does, it's not a wide margin but for the money it's a right cracker!
