cinematography Widest before fisheye?

J

Jardoss

Hey fellow film lovers!
I want an exceptional wide lens, but not entirely fisheye. (for Canon DSLR 550D)
Simply: An affordable wide lens, which is the closest widelens, before it's a fisheye :P
Can anyone recommend any lenses that fits the description? :)

As you can see on my videos, things become very "intime":

Thank you,

Looks like the standard lens with the 550D is the Canon EF-S 18-55 18-55mm f3.5-5.6 IS SLR Lens 18 55 with a 58mm filter thread

So, lettuce go lookit 58mm fisheye lens for sum edgyKshun...

Note the numbers expressed after a zero-point-whatever:
- 0.40X 58mm Wide Fisheye for Canon EOS 500D 400D 450D
- 58mm 0.25x Wide FISH EYE Fisheye +12.5 MACRO LENS 58 mm
- Opteka 58mm 0.35x HD Wide Angle Panoramic Fisheye Lens
- FISHEYE 0.43X LENS FOR CANON 52MM 55MM 58MM 62MM 72MM

Alright, the smaller that 0.X factor is the more bugeyed-looking-out-of-a-door-peep-hole effect your going to get.
I think anything under 0.25 is considered ULTRA fisheye.

Now, where wide angle lets off and fisheye begins is somewhere below the 0.45 mark.
