HG writes – “The concept of a low-cost fisheye digital camera is very appealing. Unfortunately, fisheye lenses still carry the price premiums associated with limited market “specialty” item status. This paper describes how a commodity door peephole can be used as a fisheye converter lens, thus bringing the total parts cost of a serviceable digital camera with a fisheye lens to under $20 US.” [via] – Link.

I’ve been wanting a how-to like this for a long while. I think if this works with a cvs camera of any sort that would be sweet. Definately plan to try this some time soon. If anyone knows any other methods that would be sweet.
Wow, this is really cool! I’ve got to do this!
