Step 4Add a tube
If you are been lucky you have now got a fisheye lens that seems to work with your camera. You will probably want to make some sort of mount for it as it can be a bit trick to hold the lens just the right distance away from your camera, point it all at the subject and take a sharp picture all at the same time.
I started by adding a tube that holds it just the right distance away so that it all focuses correctly and adds a bit more stability.
I used the plastic inside tube from a roll of sticking plaster, this just happened to be the right diameter to attach to the fisheye lens and the right length to produce a sharp image.
You will have to raid your spares box and experiment a bit to find something that work for you. Plastic tube is good as its soft and easy to cut and adjust.
Wrap some black electrical tape around whatever you use to keep any stray light or reflections spoiling the image.
Test it out, see if it works for you, you will still have to hold it but it will be much steadier.
