180 degree fisheye lens adapter for xl1s ?

I know that Century's fisheye adapter for the 3x lens will give me 116 degrees but I was hoping for even more. Anything out there that you know of? Thanks.

Not that I have seen or heard of. I would also be interested to know if it exists.

Rafal...have you tried the century fisheye adapter? I have been thinking of getting it myself.

Not yet Josh but I got few unpaid receipts out there so as soon as the customers own up I will most likely buy it...but now another toy entered the market, the new Century Optics anamorphic adapter for the XL1s...decisions, decisions.
Seriously though, I will post some footage here if I get it though.
ALSO, open call to anyone who already owns the Century's fishey lens, do you have any comments you wouldn't mind sharing?

BTW Josh, great motorcross videos on your website. Have you posted them here yet for everyone to admire?

Thanks Rafal. I haven't posted them on here yet, but I really appreciate the feedback. My main concern with posting them is they were made purely for fun/friends and several use copywritten music :(

I will let you know if I splurge and get the fisheye.

Josh
