So the opteka fisheye attachments came in the mail and basically was junk. Camera couldnt even focus with it on. So ill have to get me a actual fisheye lens. Live and learn

Most fish eye attachments come in two parts a macro diopter and the wide angle part. I suspect the macro part might have been separated from your one. The focus setting through them should be the same as without.

They certainly lose sharpness at the edges..... Start tossing your change into a fisheye-fund jar.

Full-frame or circular? I'm assuming DX format.

I’m thinking circular. Something like the pics posted earlier in this thread but nowhere near as bad looking lol.

AFAIK, Sigma is the only one currently making a circular fisheye in DX.

I just bought the 8-15 AF-S for 1150€ here: Nikon AF-S Fisheye NIKKOR 8-15mm f/3.5-4.5E ED Lens

This one is very very decent and can do poth the circular and the diagonal

If it should be a little cheaper try the 3.5/16: Nikon
