  1. I got a Canon Optura 30 camcorder, which has a non-standard thread size
    for aditional lenses. It's a 34mm. Is it better to get an adapter ring
    to go from 34mm to 37mm? Or down to 31.5mm.

    As far as fisheye lenses go, most of the ones I've looked at are .42x,
    which I have for my SLR film camera, but wasn't impressed with the
    fisheye effect. It wasn't dramatic enough for me.

    Does anyone have any experience with fisheye lenses for camcorders? What
    did you get and where did you get it?

  2. [censored], that was supposed to be in JC. I suck.

    Well to make it relevent to Rec.Sport.... uh, my dad just got the ball
    rolling on working with a buddy of his who own a Bike shop in Flagstaff,
    AZ to build a 100% custom Muni.

    I just hooked him up with a sweet digital camera so he can keep me
    updated on its progress.

  3. Sorry about the threadjack. I live in Flag and wonder who's doing your
    custom muni? I'd love to check it out as it progresses. The two most
    likely candidates I can think of in town are Absolute Bikes or AZ
    Bikes.

    I don't know squat about lenses. Sorry.😉

    Ferociosly Pulls, twists, and stretches hooked apendages to transform
    the pastey dermal landscape of his own hide and finally ascend to new
    heights, literally!" This is NO ILLUSION! What you will see is real...
    and remember ladies and gentlemen all this done without the assistance
    of his unicycle.
