Construct your own "Lo-fi Fisheye" lens on the cheap

Icrontic have an interesting article for the DIYers out there:

The high price of a fisheye lens often discourages a lot of potential buyers. A quick glance online will show that even cheap Russian lenses with conversion mounts are $300 or more. For amateurs, the fisheye lens is usually nothing more than an interesting gimmick; if that's the case, the price seems difficult to justify.

It's pretty cool, but not really comparable to a proper fish-eye lens.

It looks like someone has taken a photo through a door spy hole thing, which is what it is after all!

I picked up an old 8mm camera at an antique store and it has 3 lenses. Probably for zoom or fish eye. They also unscrew from the camera. So maybe I could figure out how to mount it on my Digital camera for a different effect.
