I made a usable version of my homebrew fisheye lens at 2am on Sunday morning, so I was able to take it with me for the second day of Maker Faire. The hardware consists of a large bi-concave lens salvaged from an old rear projection TV, mounted in a whisky bottle tube with a hole at the other end to allow a compact camera to be held in position there.
