I know there is a teleconverter you can get for this camera while using the conversion lens adaptor LA-DC58K. That adaptor has a 58mm thread size. I have a Raynox 58mm fisheye but I'm wondering if this would work with the G10. I'm not to sure if it will focus right or not. Anyone have experiences with something like this? Just tell me what you think please.
To get the full fisheye effect you need the lens close to the sensor, putting a wide angle adapter onto the end of an existing lens wont do it without a lot of vignetting, like a circular image on the sensor instead of the usual rectangular one.
Notice the Raynox site doesn't claim 180° field of view, it says 180° across the diagonal which is not the same thing at all. It also says that it broadens the view by 37%, the widest setting on the G10 is 28mm doing the maths 37% of 28mm equals = 10.36mm, 28 - 10.36 = 17.64mm. So the adapter will make your lens in effect a 17.64mm hardly fisheye.
10mm is reckoned to be good for a 180° field of view, the real Fisheye effect, but that's with a 35mm sensor, your smaller sensor is in effect cropping the centre of the image so it won't be as wide an angle, for 180° you would need a 7 or 8mm focal length.
As you already have the adapter, why not just try it? You don't need the adapter for a quick trial, just hold the Raynox Fisheye lens temporarily in position, it won't be perfect, but it will show what results you can expect.
I think you have asked this question before, the only way I know to get a true fisheye effect is with a DSLR and Fisheye lens. Adding glass to the front of a lens will never improve it, it can only degrade the image.
