EXPANSIVE 180 DEGREE VIEW - The Opteka 6.5mm f/3.5 Circular Fisheye Lens offers an incredibly exciting perspective and takes photography to a range that exceeds the ability of the human eye. Bend the typical view of your photographs and video to the extreme with the ability to capture a full 180 degree panoramic frame. That fishbowl angle, combined with the impressive 11.8-inch focusing distance, allows an incredible depth of field making the 6.5mm the perfect addition to your bag of tricks.HD SUPER MULTI-COATED OPTICS - In order to assist with the common and annoying problem of flare and ghosting, Opteka's Fisheye lens has been coated with a special layer above the optics to reduce this harmful effect. Additionally, a removable petal shaped lens hood is included reducing further the amount of light directly on the lens. This provides a valuable shelter from unwanted light rays helping you to capture ultra clear and vivid images.CONSISTENT AND SHARP IMAGES - Because a single aspherical element is utilized in the lens, this helps to reduce aberrations while maintaining a consistent illumination for sharpness around the entire image edge. Because there is so much detail in the frame of the fisheye with its wide angle view, this welcome addition is a helpful tool to create high quality and consistent images every time.DURABLE HEAVY DUTY CONSTRUCTION - With an aluminum alloy lens mount, a super strong connection between lens and camera ensures your Opteka Fisheye will hold up against wear and tear and keep you capturing incredible images for years to come.INCLUDED - Opteka 6.5mm f/3.5 Circular Fisheye Lens for Canon EF, Front and Rear Lens Caps, Lens Hood, Lens Pouch, 5 Year Warranty

Here is a screw-on fisheye attachment that will fit on a kit lens, is cost-effective, and will probably have a nice lo-fi look.
And Here is a lens, pretty cost-effective as lenses go, and may have better build and image quality.
The closest I've come to a fisheye on my t3i is Canon's 10-22, and I love it.
I have the Sigma 8-16mm, but for semi-fisheye (even wider), I use a 6.5mm Opteka ultrawide; $149 new on Amazon; well built, so used lenses should be good. Love it; hugely wide distorted, (but not too distorted) landscapes, and deliberately distorted closeups; 12" minimum focus distance.

If you splurge a little more ($160) you could get him a real fisheye lens.
If you're looking to get a fisheye adapter, you need to know what lens the adapter is going to be used on first, since they screw onto filter threads and different lenses have different filter sizes. For example, this one can attach to 52mm, 58mm, and 67mm threads.
I believe the Opetka 6.5mm is also a good value for about $179.99.
Here's a flickr gallery of the lens in action.
Hi,
I have a Canon Rebel T6. I'd like to buy a wide angle lens. At first, I bought like a super cheap Neewer wide angle lens (https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B003M55YLU/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 ), but the pictures are always kinda blurry and not so good, which was to be expected. I'm looking to step up my game, without breaking the bank. I was thinking of getting the Opteka 6,5mm f/3.5 aspherycal fisheye (https://www.amazon.ca/Opteka-Aspherical-Fisheye-Removable-Digital/dp/B00KGE4VS2/ref=sr_1_21?s=photo&ie=UTF8&qid=1498836097&sr=1-21&keywords=canon+lens) ... what would you think of it? Am I wasting my money, here? Thanks!
Explain to me what this is and what's the difference?
