Fisheye lens for Canon DSLR... $35 Empty Fisheye lens for Canon DSLR... $35

I have a Zenitar 16mm f/2.8 lens for sale... $35. It's a fisheye lens so there is distortion but it's very wide and at f/2.8 it's faster than most cheap lenses but with a lot of depth-of-field (more stuff in focus). It is made for Canon EF-mount SLR's so any Rebel series, 20D, 30D (I'm looking at you, Curt) or any of the film bodies that take EF lenses.

I don't have the front cap anymore but it comes in a bag. There's a speck on the front element but it shouldn't affect image quality. The body of the lens is in really good shape and is metal, not plasticy like most inexpensive lenses.

I had planned to use this lens on a remote camera for hockey season but I never got around to it. At $35 it's a lens you can use and not worry too much about it breaking or getting wet.

Here's a portrait I took with this lens on a cropped camera. That crops out most of the fishyness, it would look more like a fisheye on a film camera or full frame digital.

I should mention that I paid $100 for this lens used so I think $35 is a good deal.

I think $35 is a steal. This lens sells new for $215 USD at Kremlin Optics in Toronto.

Yeah, and leaving it up longer won't do any good. I figured I'd leave it up for a day or two at a bargain and if no one jumps at it I'll throw it on eBay (and probably make a good amount more money).

Hey Ken,

I have 20 and 40 and 5 Wink. But already have a fish - the Tokina 10-17, not as fast as this one but does the job I need it to do.

Good luck with it on Ebay.
