Product review:
By: Justin Ryan "FreshOats" (San Diego, CA USA)

I shivered when I saw the prices of fisheye lenses for my Canon XSi until I came across a few of these kind of lenses which instead of integrating into the camera itself, they screw onto the end of the existing lens. This affordable fisheye lens takes fantastic wide-angle photos, however there is a pretty extreme barreling effect which I expected after using a 35mm Fisheye by Lomo. I am amazed at the clarity of the photos I have obtained. I was expecting more distortion, chromatic aberration, etc. but this does not seem to be the case with this fisheye lens.

Does this compare to a $600 180 degree fisheye lens? Probably not. But for someone who isn't using such a lens professionally, this is the perfect starter to get you a taste of what the wide angle can produce.

My ONLY complaint is that the lens cap that came with does not fit with the adapter ring, and so the ring must be removed each time I put the fisheye lens away in it's little bag. Nothing serious.

Final thoughts: It's fun, it's cheap, and it produces high quality photos! What more can you ask for?

Fisheye Lens To Make Distortion

Fisheye lens has a nature so that it can capture wide views of 180 degrees, resulting fototo is a circle. There is a kind of fisheye lens is not too wide (15-16mm) gives a square-shaped photos as usual.

What I liked about the fisheye lens is to create images with exceptional extreme distortion, if you are using to take pictures of people then it will be weird and funny. But if used correctly by the photographers, the fisheye lens can produce images of artistic, unique, and different.
