Hello Chaps,
Has anyone had any success with a fisheye lens with their camera? I bought a cheap 2mm jobby but can not get the thing in focus due to the back focus. I can use it on the Mallincam as the sensor with this camera is further back but I need it for the CR6. I have tried adding various spacers , 5, 10, 15 and 20mm but no joy. Is it possible or do I need another fisheye type lens?
Cheers
Karl

Karl the lens maybe for a 1/2 sensor and not 1/3 sensor that can cause problems.

To get my Fisheye lens to come to focus and so the inner part of the lens doesn't hit the sensor I have to use a C to CS adaptor. It moves the lens further out from the sensor.

Thanks Ken, I did try this but no Joy. I then added another one and still the same issue. I think it may be something to do with the chip size of the CR6. It worked with the Mallincam very well but not what I needed it for. Cheers Karl
