Nikon Fisheye Lens price in Amazon (Nikon 10.5mm f/2.8G ED AF DX Fisheye Nikkor Lens) is rather expensive, now is about USD 600. So it is a good idea if we can hack our Nikon Fisheye Lens by ourself in order to reduce cost.

In INSTRUCTABLES.COM I found the way how to make Nikon Fisheye Lens with very low cost (you will only need to pay about USD 16). As we understand in hacking, we have to take care doing this in order get good result, hoping to get zero failure.

Based on the instruction in INSTRUCTABLES.COM I write down here..

Prepare the materials

In this steps what you need to do is preparing these materials

- 1 Entry Door Viewer – The one shown below is a 160 degree large diameter version.

- 1 scrap particle board. 3″ X 3″ square

- 1 scrap particle board 1.5″ X 1.5″ square

- The old handy duct tape approx 10″ in length

- Spare Lens shield – I never use one on this lens anyway so I’m using the one that came with it.

Assembly instructions

1. Place the lens shield on the 3″X3″ square particle board to trace the circle diameter. (Make sure you use the end that is opposite of the camera connection.)

2. Find the center of the particle board and drill a 1″ hole or as required by the instruction in your entry viewer.

3. Using the 1.5″ X 1.5″ square particle board piece, find the center and cut a 1″ hole or as required by the instruction in your entry viewer.

4. Round off the corners of the 3″ X 3″ square to make a circle which matches the outside facing section of the lens shield.

5. Thread the entry viewer in the holes in both the small and the larger particle board pieces. (See 1st picture below)

6. Using the duct tape, carefully wrap a piece around both the large particle board piece and the lens shield to connect the two together. (See second picture below)

Enjoy your new fish-eye lens!

Well, the nice news is that it is already feasible thanks to the brilliant digital camera Nikon d 80. This brilliant machine ought to be regarded as a new breakthrough, as a giant step in the way whose finish is called “perfect pictures”. Nikon d 80 managed to surprise everybody even when the expectation for the digital camera was so unrealistic. You can find plenty of digital cameras in the shop or even on the Web but you can be definite that Nikon d 80 is much better than everything you have seen so far.

Trying to count & describe all features which this “machine of miracles” possesses is like mission impossible. However, giving it a try is worth it because it is the only way you can recognize the great advantages which Nikon d 80 gives over all other nikon digital cameras.

Beginning with the display is definitely a necessity. Probably, it is the largest display you have seen- it is giant! But the best thing is that it is protected by a see-through lid which keeps it without any scratches. You all know how bad it is when there’s scratches on the display, don’t you? But the see-through lad covering the display is by far not the greatest feature which Nikon can offer.

3 Recommended Lenses For Your Nikon D 80

Nikon Lens #1 – The Nikkor 50mm f/1.8D AF lens. For $100 or less, there is no other lens out there that can give you sharper images for the funds. You can buy $400 lenses which give marginally sharper pics, but the 50mm f/1.8 lens has the highest sharpness / dollar-spent ratio in the industry. Its maximum one.8 aperture also lets you take great-looking portraits with a blurred background, the kind you see in some professional shots. It is small, it is light, it is great for taking pics in dimly-lit locations where flash is not allowed.

Nikon Lens #2 – The Nikkor 18-70mm f/3.5-4.5G ED-IF AF-S DX Zoom lens. That was a mouthful, wasn’t it? Yes, this is a zoom lens, unlike the 50mm f/1.8 mentioned above. Meaning you can take big-group shots in tight locations & include everybody in to the picture, & it also lets you go to 70mm for comparatively tight portrait shots. Hunt around for $320-ish prices, & not a penny more, at your camera stores. Before the availability of Lens #3 that I am about to mention, this glass was a firm favourite among plenty of casual photographers who shoot travel & holiday images.

Nikon Lens #3 – The Nikkor 18-200mm F/3.5-5.6g IF-ED AF-S DX VR. This lens is so hot. How so? Well, it is hot to be out-of-stock at virtually all stores, but you can find if you are a walk-in customer, & Nikon is bending backwards to ramp up production to meet demand. Why is it hot? Well, because it is the only lens on the market offering such a giant zoom range, with fast autofocus action & even a VR mechanism that helps you get steady shots without the use of flash. You’ll appreciate how useful the VR is if you are in a museum that doesn’t let you make use of flash & tripods – the new version of the VR expertise Nikon made obtainable on this lens lets you eliminate handshake at ever slower shutter speeds which beats out the VR capability in more expensive, but older lenses. $750 is all you require to own this lens which you can take 90% of your shots with. Nikon D 80.

Nikon D 40; Devastating its predecessor the Nikon D50 Digital SLR camera, the all new compact and affordable point-and-shoot Nikon d 40 Digital SLR camera comes at a significantly lower cost.

Nikon appears to have concentrated on what makes a nice camera. A solid viewfinder,a short shutter lag, and an exceptionally short viewfinder blackout. On the negative side the Nikon d 40 Digital SLR camera does not have an internal focus drive motor and as a result no mechanical focus drive pin. it’s CPU contacts allowing Auto Focus only with AF-S and AF-I lenses which have built-in focus motors.

This means the Nikon ‘standard’ lenses the Nikkor 50 mm F1.8D and the F1.4D will be manual focus only on the Nikon d 40 Digital SLR camera. The difference in the lens mount of the Nikon d 40 Digital SLR camera and this is the mechanical focus drive pin at about the 7 o’clock position on the mount of the Nikon D80 Digital SLR camera. I personally bought the camera and my relatives and I have been taking pics non cease since purchasing it in January 2007. I highly recommend the Nikon d 40 Digital SLR camera for an entry level professional grade camera.

I also would recommend purchasing a large memory chip I bought a 4GB chip for under 100 dollars at Futureshop and it held over 1600 images at the highest resolution the camera offers. Hats off to Nikon, for delivering a solid, affordable digital camera with multitude of features and resisting the temptation to enter the chase for more mega pixels.

The menu interface on the Nikon d 40 digital SLR camera is simple to make use of. With a touch of a button, you can immediately view all you current settings on the LCD display.

The quality of the images taken was excellent. The images had vivid colors with minimal distortion & excellent exposure levels. of the flaws of the Nikon d 40 camera will must be its shutter lag.

Which Nikon camera is the Best? This question is asked by so many people when they decide buying a digital camera. The answer is the best Nikon camera will be a different for each other. The best Nikon digital camera for seventeen year old will be different with the best Nikon camera for professional photographer. This is the first thing to note when you decide choosing a camera:

Here are some guidelines that will help you select the right camera:

1. What Type Of Pictures are you going to shoot?
2. How Much Photography Technique do you use?
3. How Much money will you Spend?

Once you could answer the questions above you will be easy on the way to selecting your perfect Nikon camera. So please look at each point a little more detail to see what you should consider!

Anybody seeking best digital camera often considers Nikon. These are some digital cameras that looks good difference nowadays. The Nikon CoolPix P4 and Nikon CoolPix S50C are good compact cameras with very impressive features. If you want an 8 megapixels camera with a two and a half inch viewing screen camera with auto mode, you will choose Nikon P4.

Or you want Nikon camera with wireles interface? S50C is a 7.2 mpx camera has a wireless interface.

It is very important that you spending a small amount of money in a good camera rather than shelling out large sums of money on the new models of the Nikon cameras. There are huge features that makes Nikon camera stand out from the rest of the brands and models which are available in the world. When choosing a Nikon camera such as a Nikon Coolpix camera, it is important to consider how many megapixels the camera comes with. For basic photos, this much of resolution is the best choice and a camera that comes with about 5 megapixels will provide good quality photos. Optical zoom feature is another important thing that you should consider before buy. An optical zoom feature of about 5x is sufficient for quality close up photos. Battery life is also another thing should be considered. The life of batteries may be reduced drastically when taking photos under unfavorable environmental condition, it is very important to consider this point before you buy.

Lastly, I just want to say that there are no perfect Nikon digital camera for everyone, but you can afford your own best Nikon camera.
