Great Fisheye Lens without the Big Expense

This is a great little addition to your kit. The fisheye attachment is inexpensive, but well made and very durable. I've attached some shots taken with my Nikon D3300 and a standard 18-55 lens. He does a great job for his money. Even if the product description says otherwise, in my opinion you need to set your camera to manual focus and manual mode to use this lens properly. Get ready to learn how to use this tool. When using fisheye, you need to make adjustments when composing your shots. The fisheye effect is good and noticeable when used correctly, but can vignette badly. As a side note, you can use the macro and fisheye together (like I did in the coin and billiards photos) or just the macro (like I did in the housefly photo), but you CANNOT use fisheye without a macro. Focus fall-off and vignetting at the edges as shown in my shots, but you'll get this to some degree with any fisheye or macro lens. Remember you are paying $20-30 for this lens, not hundreds or even thousands. In my opinion you get a lot more than you pay for. Overall this is a great accessory and works as it should. It's affordable, useful, worth having on hand, when you need it and doesn't take up too much space. Mine had plugs on both ends and a "leather" carrying case. I would recommend this product and buy it again.
