4 out of 5 stars Fisheye Lens Gets The Job Done   November 4, 2006
 3 out of 4 found this review helpful

This was great, it came with tons of lens adjuster things and the fisheye itself was flawless. I have personally seen higher quality ones where the lens distorts the image even more than this one does [in the good sort of distortion that you are going for with a fisheye] but this one gets the job done. I would buy from these people again.


3 out of 5 stars Black Barrell if you have a 58mm   September 26, 2006
 20 out of 20 found this review helpful

I have a canon GL2 and wanted a wide angle or fisheye. I have no real complaints about the quality of this lens, but do have a big warning. If you buy this for a 58mm camera, it comes with step up rings for you to get up to the 58mm but this creates a black barrell on the outside when you want the big wide angle shot. Though this can be a cool effect, it is probably not want you want. So be warned before buying, and get a different lens that is a true 58mm if you want to get an uncluttered fisheye effect. For the macro however since you are usually filming something way close, it isn't a problem.


4 out of 5 stars Inexpensive and Effective   August 21, 2006

Although a fixed-focus add-on wide-angle lens will never provide the flexibility and optical quality of a camera manufacturer's own product, this is a very inexpensive, instant, useful way to extend your camera's capability. I've found this lens very useful for large group portraits and wide angle nature and garden shots.


3 out of 5 stars You get what you pay for...kinda.   August 16, 2006

Works best as a macro lens. It does "fisheye" but the quality is not very crisp. The lens hood is kind of useless, and the protective caps for the lens itself don't fit very snug.

The biggest disappointment I had with this lens (besides the mediocre quality of the fisheye effect) is that there is NO DOCUMENTATION ANYWHERE to be found as to how to use this lens.
I had to call email the seller for answers, and they said the same thing.

All in all, it's a fun little lens, just don't expect much quality from it. In fact, it will "step down" how good your camera is. In the end, the difference is about $500 bucks between this and an actual dedicated fisheye lens.
