I was planning a trip to Paris so I HAD to have a wide angle lens for the awesome buildings over there. It needed to look cool as well (you know, Paris...). This Instructable will show you how to do both. Be sure to check out some pictures at the end of this slideshow.
Much of the credits of this I'ble goes to Patholio. I have just made a different lens support (closer to the body of the camera) and added a personal touch.
The front assembly of an ordinary 50 mm lens is used to hold the "fisheye" element of a 28-80 mm lens. Further, a piece of PVC rain gutter was cut and shaped to support the lens and to connect it to the body of the camera.
Finally, cosmetics came with a can of Coke (however Red Bull, Smirnoff and many other brands provide cool and colorful lens covers to customize your camera).

I have used a Coke can that had a diameter of approx. 5 cm.
but what screw did you use??to attach the adapter with the lens?
It's a standard 1/4 inch screw. If you live in a "metric" country like me, they can be hard to get...
I have a Rebel xti I wish I could do this but my lenses are to big. :(
If you ever need any Cans I drink about a case a day....And a Kidney stone about twice a year....."Have A Coke and a Smile.....When the Morphine kicks in at the Emergency Room"
I know a guy in Housten who recently bought a xti, I thought he was pulling my leg under a false name (I checked, unless he's pulling another one off). What are the chances do you think?
Anyway, go easy on the Coke!
I don't know what yet, but I have a feeling it has a lot of potential. Why not look at the Coffee Cup Challenge and see if you get any ideas? The lamp looks cool! It only requires like 150 cans (is that one week?).
If I get any ideas I would be happy to share them with you or collaborate on an Instructable (simply because I don't drink as much Coke).
