Summary: like it's been said...
Comment: great for fun, i screwed this onto my 18-55 from my rebel xs and got some decent shots for the effect.
but when it came down to it, i knew when i purchased it this was only to hold me over for the next few months until i can afford something that can deliver what i need. Sigma 12-24mm f/4.5-5.6 EX DG IF HSM Aspherical Ultra Wide Angle Zoom Lens for Canon SLR Cameras because i have needs.
i experience a pretty noticeable amount of distortion on the outer edges of the shot, nothing that can't be cropped out or ignored.
also great to use if you want to add that certain "character" to your shot & yet making it seem intentional. or if you're debating whether or not to add a wide angle lens to your collection, try this out first?
i think its really fun to unscrew this off my camera & watch peoples faces through it. whoa.
seller was excellent, fast shipping! & all that good stuff.

Summary: Doesn't fit!
Comment: Bought it and tried to put it on my camera and it doesn't fit. Someone said I need to buy another lense to put this onto it. Why didn't they tell me that in the first place!

Summary: Dont be fooled by the Name..
Comment: It says that its a Wide Angle, Panoramic Macro, FISHEYE Lens.. but when i received mine, it was "semi-fisheye". Im kinda disappointed about it. but over all, the Wide Angle takes really nice pictures.

Summary: good buy for the price
Comment: I bought this item just to add some flexibility to my canon rebel digital. It works fine for fun wide angle pictures, and you can't beat the price. In extreme wide angle, there is distortion but it works great for panoramics.

Summary: Lots of fun on EFS 18-55 kit lens for only $30!
Comment: I was going to sell the EFS 18-55 kit lens that came with my 20D, but now I'm keeping it since this fisheye is so much fun. You simply add the included step-up ring (which changes the gadget's girth from 52mm to 58mm) and screw it onto the filter end of the lens. The further you zoom out, the more the fisheye takes effect until it's almost a full circle. By keeping the lens closer to the 18mm end, you get a less pronounced distortion. When you want to use the macro function, you unscrew the front part of the gadget, leaving just the macro part on the lens. Would almost give it 5-stars for the money, except that the rubber lens cap is so loose it's nearly worthless.
Without the step-up ring, the gadget also fits a 52mm filter size lens. I tried it on my Canon EF-S 60mm macro, but it didn't seem to work on that one.
