5.0 out of 5 stars For the price, a fun and useful lens, December 25, 2008

This review is from: Bower 042X FishEye Lens BLACK (VL46B) 58M 52M CANON (Electronics)

I use this lens on the end of standard zoom and wide-angle lenses on my Rebel XSi and AE-1 (it came with 58mm and 55mm adapter rings), and for its price I don't see how it can be beat. With a Super Wide you know you're going to get barrel distortion, so I like to put it at its widest and get real close to a subject, even focusing on things just an inch or two from the lens.

One thing of note is that is doesn't go well stacked on a telephoto lens, but that's not unexpected considering the contrasting purposes of each. I'm not taking a star off a product because it doesn't do what it's not designed to do.

There are a lot of creative things you can do with this lens, and for such a small price compared to high-end fish-eye lenses, I'm definitely glad to have it in my bag.

I wanted a wide angle lens to add to my "creative" arsenal and get me to see things differently...this lens was so inexpensive compared to true fisheye lenses...and I have just made some test shots with this lens and all I can say is that I am going to have a lot of fun with it. And so far as just the "macro" part does... I really can't believe how close you can get to an object...very cool.

I havent had a problem with this lens since I got it a month ago. I like the effects I get using it and the macro capability is a pleasure to use.
