Cheap Lens that gets the job done
(3 out of 5) by Ariel Mantilla on Jan 16, 2009At first, I was skeptical about buying this lens as many of the reviews were not the most positive. But I decided that $50 bucks for a lens wasn't bad and went ahead and purchased it. The lens arrived with only one adapter (I was expecting two) but it did fit my rebel xt. In other reviews some mentioned receiving a lens cleaning kit.I didn't and was just a little bummed by this. The lens itself arrived in a gold color, directly clashing with my all black rebel.
However, I realized it gets the job done (no matter what color) and I don't regret the purchase. It's a cheap lens that seems durable and gives me a nice effect. I only wish i had gotten the black lens as pictured! and i mean the lens cleaning kit wouldn't have hurt...

Ouch!
(1 out of 5) by BookElf on Jun 11, 2008 (New Mexico)If you are in the market for fish-eye and don't have a lot of money, PASS on it. Find something else. Terrible pin-hole pictures, NOT FULL FRAME. Adapter rings are hit and miss. Well I guess you get what you paid for.

you get what you pay for
(3 out of 5) by Cynthia Kan on Jun 11, 2007 (San Diego, CA)it's a fun toy, but don't expect it'll give you amazing images. But for $40, it's a pretty fun toy to have!

Fisheye Lens Gets The Job Done
(4 out of 5) by L. Kral on Nov 4, 2006 (Chicago, IL)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.

The reason it didn't fit my camera!
(4 out of 5) by Smoov on Jun 7, 2007I got this lens for my Canon Rebel and could not get it on to save my life. I took it to a camera shop and they thought that maybe 47th St had sent me the wrong ring adapter. When I called 47th St Photo they knew right away why I was calling! Apparently Opteka changed the threads on the end of the lens and didn't notify them so they had sent out the wrong adapters. I am sure that from now on people who buy them will get the correct one and I'm so glad it was a minor issue!
I haven't taken any pictures with it yet, obviously. And I knew ahead of time that there would be the circular vignette around the pictures, I did some reading online about the different fish eye lenses before I ordered one. These reviews are great places to start, I would recommend that people read these before they actually buy the product!
