Review on Opteka Professional Fisheye Digital Cameras by Frank Webster

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Great entry level fisheye

I rate this lens 5 stars for value for money. Our kids told us they needed a fisheye lens for their DSLRs. When I started researching them on Revain, I was surprised to see a significant difference in cost. It turns out that this lens was considered more of a "toy" and real photographers would have to pay hundreds more for a more professional fisheye lens. That may be true, but I can tell you that our kids (both fairly serious amateur photographers) have taken, and continue to take, hundreds of photos with these lenses. Maybe someday we'll want something better, but this lens more than lives up to my kids' needs. One note: the lens worked directly with the Digital Rebel camera, but we had to purchase an additional adapter to make it work. on the 40D and 50D digital SLRs that our kids have now.

Pros
  • Great price
Cons
  • Big and chunky

Perfect way to get fisheye effect without dropping a bundle on a name brand lens!
