Fish Eye Lens??
I'd LOVE to be able to write a review on the pictures this lens allows me to take...but the lens didn't come with a step up/down ring for my 58mm Canon Rebel XLI camera and NO photo shops I've gone to have the size I need to fit this adaptor lens to my camera.
VERY frustrating.

Thought this was a full fisg eye lens...
Didn't realize I was buying a 'semi' fish eye.. as nothing in the description said so. :( was disappointed about that. Had i known..i would have look elsewhere.
But the lens is okay.. no real instructions or any information on how to use.. unclear as to what the 'hood' or whatever that thing is..does.
The lens cap/cover just fits over it.. nothing too secure, so it keeps popping off.

Excellent for the price
I use a fisheye occasionaly and this one fills the void. The price is right.
Flash problems?
No one else has said this, maybe I am doing something wrong, but when I take pictures with my Digital Rebel 400D with the attachment with the rebel's flash I always get a dark shadow at the bottom of the pictures. Of course this won't happen in daylight, so no problem, but when I need just a little boost it's a problem.
Hmmm.
It's a little flimsy, and doesn't really fit on the rebel all that well. With a larger lens it doesn't really have much fish eye at all. Since it's not the right size for my lens and has to go on an adapter ring, there's a little vignetting around the edges.
A friend of mine has a video camera that it fits on without the adapter ring and it looks cool for that.
Overall, it does work... sort of... but I wish I had spent a little extra cash and bought something a little better.
