Teleconverter and Fish Eye I was wondering if anyone knew of any great telephoto and fisheye extensions for the D80. I am using a Sigma 28-70mm(58mm filter size) and Nikkor 70mm to 300(62mm filter size). I love my camera & lens, but I am limited in landscape pictures(which I really love) I do have a digital concepts .5wide angle but I want to go a little wider. Any suggestions? Also I am fairly new to the D80 so any testimonials you have about my lens or yours with converters or if I need to pay the 300-500 for another lens instead of converting I would appreciate. Thanks, Natasha

The wide angle and fisheye converters that fit on the front of a lens are cheap and fun to use for occasional use, but are not very good optically. You'll get much better results with a separate lens. Since you want to go wider than what the .5x converter gives on your 28-70, look at Nikon AF-S 12-24 f/4G DX, Sigma 10-20 f/4-5.6 DC HSM, Tokina 12-24 f/4 DX, or Tamron 11-18 f/4.5-5.6 Di II. For even wider 180° diagonal "fisheye" view, there is the Nikon 10.5 f/2.8 DX Fisheye and the Tokina 10-17 f/3.5-4.5 DX Fisheye.
