I'm in the market for a fish-eye lense adapter. This is my camcorder:

A Canon ZR60 (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000088USR/002-3162545-6718418?v=glance&n=502394)

I will be using this fish-eye lense adapter to film skateboarding, and am really not sure what I need to get as to performance, look, etc; I'm not sure this is the lense that I need to do what I have in mind... So maybe you guys can clear this up for me.

Here are some possible lense adapters:

Choice #1 (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0007OF0TK/ref=ord_cart_shr/002-3162545-6718418?%5Fencoding=UTF8&m=A1P9QRDRYY6FXL&v=glance&n=502394)

well, so far, that's my best option, and really, my only option. i need to see some suggestions maybe you guys have or recommend.

The popular ones are, kenko .43x and raynox qc-303, or the raynox HD-3030 http://raynox.co.jp/english/video/hd3030pro/index.htm. Century optics make a bit more expensive one. You can do a google search to review them a bit more. Make sure the thread size on the lens is compatible with your camera. I think your camera's thread size is 30.5mm.

i got a wide lense for my camera... its like a fish eye but not gay... the boarders of my pcitrues are a little fuzzy but its well worth it for the extra coverage i got from my pictures
