Fish eye lens with 550EX

G

Guest

Hello everybody!

I own a 550EX flash which covers wide lenses upto 17mm. I've seen a lot of photos where a canon user is using his/her 15mm fisheye lens and flash with no vingetting. Is there a special wide angle panel I can buy to put on my 550ex? or is there a diff flash I can use to cover my wide lens?

thanks in advance.
 
Patrick, I just use my 15mm fisheye with the diffuser on the flash (for 17mm). I guess the other 2mm don't matter. The results are always good. Mike

Patrick - Try bouncing your flash off the ceiling or wall - it is preferable that it is white, or you could end up with a colour cast!
