If y’all got the opteka/kapkur titanium series 0.3x HD super fisheye for an HVX200, HPX170, or HMC150, then i HEAVILY suggest using this method. I came up with it out of pure frustration that the lens cap didn’t fit on the lens without the hood. This method preserves the full bubble of your fisheye without the lens hood cropping out the sides while ALSO letting you remove and replace the lens cap + lens hood at the same time without having to waste time with the screws. your workflow in the field will be streamlined and quick as if you were using a vx1000 with the MK1 fisheye.
i’ve been dealing with this problem since i got the lens, and now i have a ridiculously simple solution for it. i have yet to find anybody else that’s done this method online so imma claim it as the Daria method.
Ideally, the company who manufactures this lens would do what Century Optics did for their MK2 fisheye and not have side bars on the lens hood, but you can’t get everything you want if you’re spending less than $500 on a camera lens 🥴
