4.0 out of 5 stars Not bad, worth the money for a simple wide angle, January 23, 2007
Basically this works by screwing onto the end of your lens like a filter. There is a conversion ring for the Cannon lens, a 58 series VII (46mm to 58mm) adapter. It does open up the wide angle aspect of the lens, but it also cuts down on the light you are getting. I think with the faster 50mm lens it gives you a really nice wide angle lens that isn't as dark.

As for the Macro aspects, not really any better than the stock lens. Also a pure wide angle or fisheye is probably better, but the price on this was right for what I wanted. Haven't shot much with it yet, but so far it looks okay.

3.0 out of 5 stars Wide Angle & Macro - A beginning, May 14, 2007
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
Received the Wide Angle & Macro Fisheye lens on time as expected. The actual lens is a fun addition to a standard lens (I've mostly used it on my standard kit lens) but quickly creates excessive curves on items towards the extremities of the picture. The macro function is very limited in its usefulness. If I decide to further pursue macro photography I will probably buy a dedicated lens. As for this lens, it is good for creating som fun effects, but nothing more.

4.0 out of 5 stars A fun accessory for beginners!, October 5, 2007
By eric melzer (montana) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)      
This was one of the first things I bought after I got my Rebel XTi last November. It's great. The fisheye effect can be a little extreme at wide angles (under 25mm), but for shooting fun pictures, this is great. The only thing I didn't like about this lens was the color, gold. Opteka released a black version recently and I bought it immediately, even though it's basically the same thing. I've moved on to more expensive equipment and none of my new lenses really work with this accessory, but if you have a camera that accepts this lens, especially the 18-55 kit lens of all the Rebels, I highly recommend getting this, or the .38x black version. I posted a couple pictures I took using the other lens, which you can find here: Opteka .38x HD² Super Wide Angle Panoramic Macro Fisheye Lens for Canon EOS 30D 20D 10D 5D 1Ds 1D
