Review on Altura Photo 58MM 0.35x Fisheye Canon Wide Angle Lens (with Macro Portion) for Canon DSLR Cameras EOS Rebel 70D 77D 80D 90D T8i T7 T7i T6i T6s T6 T5i T5 T4i T3i T100 SL1 SL2 SL3 - Canon Mount Wide Angle Lens by Richard Cuneo

I'm just learning how to use it effectively and thought I'd share a few observations: 1. If you're only using the macro component, expect some vignetting. Don't worry because if you're that close you'll probably want to crop.2. If you're photographing insects, when you don't have a very steady hand and the insects cooperate by staying in one place long enough, you need a tripod. For example: Bees collect pollen from flowers - set up the frame, use the wireless remote control if possible and wait for the critters to return. If it lands on a nearby flower you can set up your tripod quickly, but not if you need to refocus. You just won't have time.3. The depth of field is VERY shallow, but you need to be able to take micro life, and blurring the background is an effective way to draw the viewer's attention to the spotlight.4. Always use shutter priority with this lens and use the fastest shutter speed acceptable for the lighting conditions. It can also help a lot in "shake hands" when you are stuck without a tripod. As for the wide-angle fisheye component, I can't tell you much now as my experiments have been limited. Received the lens this morning. I hope to post more in a few days. The following photos illustrate some of the issues: The majority on the left shows why a tripod is so important. The left and right photos also show vignetting. The middle photo was cropped and although I didn't use a tripod I managed to balance because for some reason the smaller fly wasn't flapping around as much and I was able to relax to catch it. He must know the difference between a fly swatter and a camera. PS - The photo on the left was supposed to be a bumblebee, but I chose the wrong image from my library. Spread bumblebee now. By the way, look at the fly again and you'll see how sensitive it is to depth of field. The wings are clearly in focus, but the head, which is in a slightly different plane, is blurry. Just something to keep in mind when setting up snapshots. but I selected the wrong image from my library. Spread bumblebee now.
