> BABY DEATH LENS ALTERNATIVE
I was just lurking skateperception for the first time in ages. Noticed a new lens that opteka has produced to compete with the century baby death.
From what i've read it's not quite as good as the century version, but that's to be expected at the price. For anyone who can't scrape together enough cash for the century version, this works out to be about $200 AUD

its semi fisheye, but once you do the mod its great wideness. i wouldnt get it unless you have a 37mm though, caus otherwise the vig after the mod would be disgusting.
but yeah if you have a 37mm its great, takes lens flair really well.
i bought that top opteka baby death earlier tonight.
should come in two weeks or so.
hope its goooood

The 58mm one is quite steep though, my raymod cost less, does anyone know any vx2000/2100 test footy with the opteka?
got it today, its so rad.
like fucking awesome.
yet too use it to film but should have a clip sometime sooooon!
ive got the baby death there awsome as my mates got a mk2 baby death and theres mine is a tiny bit wider but the hood gives vaig
heres abit of footage from it with no spacer.
i would have made it longer but i had no footy.
