Summary: Wide angle adaptor for the price
Comment: I use this attachement for work and it makes it a lot easier to get an overview without walking back a long ways to get it. The adaptor does distort the picture a little, but not nearly as bad as the fish eye lens I have for my other camera. The adaptor even works for getting really close up pictures of documents, signatures and printed test show up almost as clearly as a scanner with using this adaptor with a fugifilm S700. It has a good look and feel when it is on the camera. I would recomend this product to anyone that is looking to get a better wide angle on there camera. If you use the camera's flash there will be a dark area on the bottom of the picture on close up photo's.

Summary: not worth it
Comment: i don't recomend buying this product, this lense will get you a wider shot, but the extra width will be blury, you can not use the zoom on the camera because the edges around the pictures will be blury, i took this lense with me on a vacation trip and mos of my pictures are worthless, i'm glad i did not use the lense for all my pictures

Summary: wide angle lens
Comment: This lens is excellent for its purpose, and I know I'll be using it a great deal in my photography work.It makes interior shots of specific interest (Church interior, outside building shots and group pictures) so much better to deal with. I will use this lens frequently and I am very pleased with the results.

Summary: Great accessory!!
Comment: This lens is a must have for the FujiFilm s700 DSR-Like camera. It's wide angle shots make shooting in regular mode plain. I am able to capture more with this lens, it's great.

Some Cons:
Found it extremely limited when using flash. Auto focus beam (red light) is blocked by the wide lens causing the focus to be off in low light pictures. The flash also yields a dark semi-circle where the flash was blocked from the top of the lens.

Some Pros:
Even with the low light flash blocking, this lens is a must have. I primarily purchased this for outdoor use and taking nice wide angle scene shots on vacation that doesn't require flash. I've noticed a remarkable amount of color correction when taking before/after shots of with/without lens.

I strongly recommend this high quality professional lens for your camera.

Summary: Must Have Accessory
Comment: Outstanding workmanship and build quality. Paid only $30 but I'm pretty sure it could sell for a lot more. Excellent image quality comparable to a prime lens. Lens construction and materials are truly impeccable. Image quality is truly outstanding. Using this semi wide angle allowed me to stay in one position without backing up to capture the scene. Angle of view is comparable to a 35mm semi wide angle on a 35mm SLR lens. Wish I had ordered one comparable to a 28mm. Other websites state that lens made in Japan. However, it clearly states on the lens that it was made in China. I originally intended this lens for still pictures, however I was really surprised when I used on my Fujii S700 for moving video. Image quality is truly clear and vivid. Also attached it to my camcorder with equally impressive results. Just remember that lens can be attached to any still or video camera provided you get a appropriate step up ring. That way you can minimize the amount of accessory lenses. The 2x telephoto version is equally good so do yourself a favor and get both. Highly recommended.
