I just purchased the Zeikos fisheye lense for my 50mm Nikkor lens and when I attach it, it doesn' take fisheye photos - just regular with some distortion around the edges... am I using this incorrectly? I'm fairly new so not sure.
The 50 mm lens is a full frame lens, and the D80 is a DX camera. This means that the 50mm lens puts an image out that is bigger than what the D80 can "see". The good part of this is that the D80 (and most of the other Nikon DSLR's) use only the image from the center part of an older lens. The bad part is that if you put the fisheye filter on it, the fisheye effect that is mostly seen at the edges of the lens doesn't show up on the D80 sensor. If you could put the fisheye filter on a DX lens, it would give you the full effect.

When pressing the shutter release button two different event occur: 1. either the battery shows drained battery even though battery is freshly charged. Camera is frozen. 2. upon pressing the release button display shows a flashing "F" and camera is frozen. It happens randomly and with several independent users. This problem occurred with D70 and D80. I need to turn off camera several times before I can use it again. Nikon admits problems with suppliers but is not helpful otherwise.
