Tommy & Tiky:FAQ- Fisheye lens for Samsung camcorders

A clip posted on YouTube by teenager where the person recorded skating using fisheye lens was a big hit. Although this has been around for some time, many users are still wandering around the web space looking for the best fisheye for their lens as new products are launched day in and day out. And Tiky decided to share collective information to be of some help. I hope this helps all of you Samsung users out there!

I first came to know about skater video when a friend of mine, SBishop357, sent me a message.(Thanks, again! Sbishop357!) He said that he found SC-HMX10 a good choice to record skating.

Then, what fisheye lens have Samsung camcorder users installed? Although I cannot cover every single product of Samsung, I tried to collect as much information as possible.

Samsung Camcorder Filter diameter

- SMX-F34/F33/F30 : 30mm
