Opteka Fisheye Lens


Is there a special mount to be used to get the Opteka 0.22X Ultra Hi Def Fish Eye Lens to fit on a Minolta Maxuum QtSi? I have a T2 Mount for the Opteka 500mm Mirror f/8 Macro... that doesn't work for the fisheye lens.

  No special mount is needed. The Opteka 0.22x is designed to screw into the filter threads on the front of another lens. It is intended for use with the very small sensors/lenses of digital point & shoot cameras. It can be mounted to a 35mm film SLR lens that has 49mm diameter filter threads (or with an adapter to larger diameters), but will probably give severe vignetting.
