The results are lenses of remarkable quality and durability at remarkably affordable prices. Opteka High Definition² Multi-Coated Circular Polarizing Filters create dramatic color for high visual impact. They darken blue skies, saturate colors, and reduce glare and reflections from water or glass by using an Opteka rotating polarizer. Multi-coating can prevent light reflection, ghost light, internal reflection etc, making image clearer and sharper. Simply look through your viewfinder as you rotate the filter and stop when you reach the desired effect. Ideal for shooting in bright sun, at beaches, snow, etc. Controls bright light entering lenses for a better balanced color image.

It is not actually a lens. It is just a round black metal thing with a mirror stuck sideways inside it. The name written on its box is more appropriate: it is a MIRROR ANGLE SCOPE. And remember: its ring is 58 MM! It does not come with any additional step down or step up rings. You have to purchase them yourself. My Sony Alpha 300 has a 55 ring thread, so I bought a 58 MM step up ring, and it works perfectly with this scope. It is a cheap accessory, but it does what it is supposed to do. Beware that it functions only with autofocus mode on. You could still use it with manual focus, but you have to use both hands to position the scope (which you can easily move around)and MANUALLY FOCUS your lens. It is troublesome! And, when you use autofocus, it keeps on turning up and down when it cannot autofocus. Make sure you shoot something which your lens can easily focus, then this scope will focus easily and does not move crazily. The good thing: it presents no picture distortion, which I like. But you have to move the scope a lot to adjust it to the right position to get the pictures you want. You can move it to different positions (left, right, up, and down) while you keep your camera lens in the same position. I like this thing for what it could give me: FUN!

Given I have a Canon SX20IS and have bought 52mm filters for it + that this darling contraption is slightly too big for my lens, I'm guessing it'll screw into 54mm threads. I personally am just going to attach it to my lens hood if I can't adapt it otherwise. It does not need to be screwed on to take a picture through it. No noticeable colour fading or otherwise. I personally rate this about 4 stars because it doesn't attach to my camera, but that's my fault; the device itself seems like a 5 to me.
