Turn A Single-Use Camera Into A Fisheye Camera

May 28, 2011 6 comments

It's so easy to turn a single-use camera into a fisheye camera! And cheap ,too ...

It takes only a couple of minutes to turn a single-use camera into a fisheye camera .
What you need is a door viewer . ( You can buy one at the hardware store .) It comes in two pieces and you only need the one with the lens .

All you have to do is fix the lens right in front of your camera lens with some tape as shown on the picture. Now go out and get real close to other people’s ( or animal’s ) noses !

The result are pictures that are kind of weird and really blurred !!!
