4.0 out of 5 stars Good for the price, September 18, 2009

This review is from: Opteka .35x HD� Wide Angle Fisheye Lens for Canon (Electronics)
Previous reviews are mostly accurate. This is a bit soft around the corners, but it's also 1/10 of the price of a high quality true fisheye. I do like that it's pretty well built. It's at least solid and won't fall apart. I use it with a Canon Digital Rebel XS and it kicks out some pretty cool effects and decent quality pictures as well. The one downfall to me personally is that most of the cool effect of this lens is found near the edges, right about where the picture starts losing quality. But on that note I still believe it's money well spent to see if you want to invest in the higher dollar fisheyes. Even if you don't use it much you're still sure to get your money's worth out of it, so you really can't go wrong. I personally like this lens for reasons such as good quality pictures, good construction, and the ease of use. This is an excellent beginning fisheye and it's a lot of fun to use. Just make sure you keep it at 18mm or you'll start losing the effect, but it's easy to... Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars Very nice add-on for your camera!, November 20, 2009
This review is from: Opteka .35x HD� Wide Angle Fisheye Lens for Canon (Electronics)
I bought this lens converter a few days ago, and was very skeptical about it. I mean, fisheye lenses are usually extremely expensive, so what could I expect of a $29 lens?
Well, after playing with it, I have to say that I am quite impressed! If you are looking for some fun and don't want to spend hundreds of dollars, go with this product!

I have a Canon Rebel XS and this add-on works perfectly with my camera since there is a converter ring for a 52-58. I use it on my 18-55 lens and I can get some very nice images. If you stick to 18 especially, you will get the full effect of the fisheye. Obviously the more you zoom, the least the distortion will appear. Also, make sure you are taking pictures with plenty of light, otherwise your pictures will be dark.

So, for the price, I am really positively surprised and it is a fun little lens to play with! also, it comes in a little protection bag, which is nice and it seems to be well built. I was expecting something... Read more

This review is from: Opteka .35x HD� Wide Angle Fisheye Lens for Canon (Electronics)
This lens attachment does virtually that same thing as wide angle lenses costing $400+. For the amateur, this is all you really need. Little blurry around the edges, but clear in the center. Since I work strictly for the web (604 pixels wide), this gives adequate clarity, and it is vastly better than having no wide angle at all. Keep in mind this is a passive LENS ATTACHMENT, not a standalone lens. It screws on the front of the standard 18-55 lens that probably came with your camera (in my case a Sigma 18-50mm). The attachments is made for 52mm threads, but it comes with an adapter ring for 58mm threads (and a larger adapter whose size I forgot). Probably the only difference between various models of this lens (Canon, Nikon, etc.) is the adapter ring. Your original lens does all the focusing, zooming, etc. When you zoom out to 18mm, you see a nearly full fisheye circle surrounded by black (pretty close to a 180-degree view). When you zoom in, you essentially get a wide angle lens for... Read more
