Digital camera reviews of Opteka .35x HD² Wide Angle Fisheye Lens for Canon
Digital camera Review: A fun, inexpensive add-on
Summary: 4 Stars
If you're looking for the crystal clarity of a dedicated fish-eye or macro lens, then you will be disappointed with this. But if you just want an inexpensive way to experiment with a near-fisheye and a not-bad closeup filter for some creative shots, then this is a great addition to the bag at a bargain price.
Please note: this lens is an ADD-ON for an existing lens, NOT a lens itself. It has two parts, which screw together - the fisheye adapter and a macro filter - and then the entire unit screws onto the front of an existing lens like a filter. I use it attached to a Tamron 17-50 and the AF works just fine, although only with the macro filter screwed in between the lens and the fisheye (ie it won't AF if just the fisheye portion is attached to the lens) - YMMV. There are no included instructions so I'm not sure if this is how it's supposed to be set up, but it works and gives the desired fisheye effect. AF works fine with the macro filter alone.
Stopped down, pictures are quite sharp, if a little soft at the edges, but you need to be at f8 (f11 even better) or above; below 5.6 everything is pretty soft, but it can be an interesting creative effect.
The item includes both a 58 AND 67mm adapter ring - I wish they'd made that clear, since I bought an extra one which I didn't actually need (I didn't realise it came with a 67mm).
