Editorial Reviews:

Product Description
The camera's angle of view multiply the camcorder, digital/video camera by 0.45 times, which more than doubles the angle of view of the camera. Great for landscapes or recording in situations where a little creative curvature of field of view or fish-eye effects.

5 out of 5 stars Great Lens for Eight Bucks!   February 28, 2010

Based off of the two reviews I was unsure how good of a lens attachment I would be receiving, but for $7.99 I threw the dice.

I received this lens attachment a few short days after ordering and it screwed onto the front of my 18 to 55mm (D60) lens without any issue. (the lens attachment is made of metal and glass -- it feels good and sturdy).

After taking several photos I noticed that when set to the widest angle possible the corners vignette and get blurred.

For some this might be a complete turn off, for others it might mean that you just found the best accessory to add to your camera bag for eight bucks. When set to just about any setting other than the widest no vignetting is noticable.

I think it's a perfect new toy for anyone willing to experiment with accessories.

If you want to see what the vignetting looks like here is a link to my official review along with numerous shots that I took with this lens.

5 out of 5 stars Great value for what you get!   March 30, 2010

I received the lens only 6 days after ordering it, and the initial results were great for the price of the lens. I tested it on a Nikon with a 18-55 kit lens and it vignetted the corners like expected but allowed me to capture more of the room with only a small amount of detail loss (which was only noticeable in photoshop when looking at the images @ 100%). Still testing the Macro mode, which seems to let you get extremely close. I think it's well worth the investment of $8.


5 out of 5 stars Great Bargain Lens   July 7, 2010

One of my photo students brought this wide-angle lens to class and I tried it. I was impressed enough with the few shots I took that I ordered my own lens from Amazon.

I tested mine on a Nikon digital SLR with an 18-55mm zoom lens and on a Canon G5 compact digital camera with a 35mm to 140mm zoom lens (35mm equiv). On the Nikon, this wide-angle lens expanded the wide-angle coverage of the 18mm focal length to something wider than 14mm. On the Canon, this wide-angle lens expanded the wide-angle coverage of the 35mm focal length to slightly wider than 28mm. The macro portion of this lens was similar in performance to my +10 diopter supplemental close-up lens (also called a close-up filter by some).

After additional shots and tests, I can say without reservation--this lens produces decent quality wide-angle images and the macro portion produces decent quality close-up images. Yes, there is some darkening of the corners of the image (vignetting) and there is significant curving of straight lines (barreling) and there is some loss of detail on the edges. However, this lens is a great bargain and I will highly recommend it to future students.

I got this for the macro but I love the wide angle so much. I got it today 03-26-10, I used it in Chicago for my photos of the Bean and they turned out great for me.
