best fisheye lens

is a great fisheye lens, it seems very durable, inexpensive and excellent HD quality. I use this fisheye every weekend to film skateboarding, overall I'm very satisfied and would recommend it to everyone I know.

Pros
  • It's amazing
Cons
  • looks

Perfect for sports photography!

I use it to photograph my skateboard. The 58mm fisheye is perfect for the Canon XA10 without a stylus. You'll get a small vignette that you can easily correct by zooming in a bit. The lens is heavy. But other than that, this lens is perfect. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask, I will reply as soon as possible.

Pros
  • Sturdy construction
Cons
  • Sad Hardware

Good value for money: Lenses

I bought a cheaper wide angle lens and was amazed at the better image quality of this lens. I bought it for my Canon XA10 camcorder which it only fits when I've removed the grip with XLR connectors, the diameter goes from 5mm to large. However, this is a solid lens, well built and the resulting image/movie is excellent. It's heavier than the cheaper lens - a lot heavier, but I suspect the glass weighs a lot and contains a lot more glass than any other I've used. It didn't have any vignettingโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Many will do
Cons
  • Some difficulties

ok nothing compared to mk1 though

i got this lens some time ago when i had vx2000 and everything was ok this lens is pretty much the same compared to mk2 the optics of the century so if you are arguing about that , for this lens or mk2 and there is not enough money, take this thing. but if you have the money for a mk1 optic of the century, don't even think about this lens. mk1 is much better, especially on vx1000. on the vx2000 the mk1 is great but you can also get away with the optics like the vx1000 if you plan on using thatโ€ฆ

Pros
  • full kit
Cons
  • empty

The product literally fell apart 3 months after purchase.

The product literally fell apart within 3 months of purchase! Cheaply made and absolutely NO support from Opteka. I've tried sending an email multiple times but haven't received a reply! When I finally got a phone number to contact them I was emailed again! In my opinion, do not buy this product!

Pros
  • Lenses
Cons
  • Poor instructions

Good value for money

I bought a cheaper wide angle lens and was amazed at the better image quality of this lens. Only fit when I removed the handle with XLR connectors, the diameter is too big from 5mm. However, this is a solid lens, well built and the resulting image/movie is excellent. It's heavier than the cheaper lens - a lot heavier, but I suspect the glass weighs a lot and contains a lot more glass than any other I've used. It didn't have the vignetting that another lens I tried has when zoomed out. For theโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Camera and photo
Cons
  • I'll write later

Ok but nothing compared to mk1

I got this lens some time ago when I had vx2000 and everything was fine, this lens is almost the same compared to mk2 century optics so if you are hesitating whether to buy this lens or the MK2 and you don't have enough money to solve the problem. but if you have the money for 100% mk1 optics, don't even think about this lens. mk1 is much better, especially on vx1000. on the vx2000 the mk1 is great but you can also get away with the optics like the vx1000 if you plan on using that lens with itโ€ฆ

Pros
  • electronics
Cons
  • cable is shorter than other picks
