I was thinking the super wide angle lens on the bottom, but it says it adds a slight fisheye effect. I don't know if I want that..., honestly I don't even really understand the relationship between fisheye and wide angle. I mean, does is "fisheye" if the wide angle is super wide? Why is one 109 and the other 35?

What would be the most value for my buck if I'm going to shoot yoyo videos and such? Any insight would be highly appreciated.

neither, these give you enough cromabs to need to get special shampoo.

Buy a new camera if you want a wider angle. These adapters are only really usefull for video (There are decent quality ones)

Actually, I know this is /p/ but there's not really a /v/ and i figure you guys would be the most knowledgable in the department of lenses.

check some skateboarder / snowboarder websites to see what amateurs are using, they will have done a lot of research and will have tones of user reviews for these types of adapters.

You ever seen pictures taken where it's not a fisheye, but everything seems to curve a little out to the sides? That's called barrel distortion. It's something that happens with lenses, especially wide angle ones. When it goes into the center, more common with telephoto lenses, that's pincushion distortion.

Lens designers, with know-how and good materials and technology, have corrected these distortions in good lenses to the point where they're just plain not noticeable at all, and even in middling modern lenses they're barely there.

Fisheye lenses forego correcting this to fit a non-rectangular, hemispherical scene onto a rectangular plane, the film/sensor. What your guy is probably trying to say is that the lens has a high amount of barrel distortion, which not knowing the right terms to use, he calls it a "fisheye effect."
