Are you sure you're not looking for a fishear or fishfin lens effect? I think you mean fisheye! Fisheye lenses are not rectalinear, ie., they are optically different than the way LW figures optics. They have a designed distortion that gives the round field of view instead of rectangular. There probably is a way to get LW to do this but I think it would be very slow (using trace refractions) Jim Roof
