Default Photography Q and eBay rant.

Is it just me, or if you buy a lens described thus
"55 mm 0.45 X Macro Photographic Fish Eye Wide Angle Lens for Nikon D70"

Would you expect, having waited a week for the bloody thing to turn up,
to be able to attach it directly to a D70?
Cos you can't, it has a thread on it.

And for the photography question,
Do I simply need one of these?

A reversing ring will never turn a normal lens into a fisheye.

And don't forget you will lose all the electro-mechanical
connections so that means manual focussing, shutter speed
and aperature, which also means you need a lens that still
has an aperature ring (usually). Many more recent lenses
dont have this, because they rely on the camera body.
