Product Description FYI: This is a super wide angle or mild fisheye. Some companies have different names for them. Difference between a normal wide angle which is .6X or .7X starts at .45X and lower. The lower the X factor, the wider the image will be distorted as fisheye effect and the more expensive the lens gets. This auction is for a 0.42X super wide lens that will give you a great fisheye effect when used in zoom out settings on your cam without sacrificing your budget. Use the fisheye effect for sports, artistic and radical pictures.This lens has two halves that work together as a fisheye. To use the macro portion alone, you have to unscrew it from the lens. Remember the AF will not work when using it for macro photography, in that case you will need to use manual focus by adjusting the distance from the camcorder/camera to the object.

good price for fun photosNovember 16, 2008 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
decent pictures for the price. lens feels a little heavy for the kit 18-55mm lens, but it auto focuses fine. br /my better captures were at focal lengths between 28mm and 23mm. anything lower causes good fisheye/dostorted effects, but with that black barrel showing more as you zoom out. also blurs more around the edges at lower focal lengths.br /good macro lens. can't really use with your pop up flash because the lens sticks out too far and causes shadows in low lit areas.br /lens caps are cheap and don't stay on too well outside of it's rough carrying case.br /shipped pretty fast and cost me less than $40 after everything.br /oh and it also came with a lens cleaning kit..

It is a cheap lens. Fun to play with, but poor resolution with my Nikon D40.
