Altura Photo 58MM 0.35x Fisheye Wide Angle Lens with Macro Close-Up Portion

التعليق

I have the 0.43 and have been enjoying it so I figured I would get a little fisheye fun with this... not so. The only part of the image that even approaches acceptable is the very center, even then its pretty hideous, and outside of that forget it. Everything looks atrocious, like there was jelly smeared across your lens. The only thing this is good for is practicing your free throw into the trash bin.

This lens is really really heavy because it’s made of metal. I don’t like that it screws on the end. It’s really hard to line it up. Not easy to take on and off quickly. I don’t like how the built on lens hood or whatever it is doesn’t seem to come off. It just spins and is in the way. In my pictures you can see there is a black circle around the outside. Which I don’t like. I’m not sure if I just bought the wrong kind for my camera or what happened. I had super bad luck with this lens. I couldn’t get the macro lens to work without the fisheye lens. In terms of lighting and image quality, I’m still a beginner. So I don’t have anything to really compare to yet. I just know that I was not impressed with how it took photos in low lighting.

Just got it today and it is absolutely amazing. The build quality is way better than I expected. Its also heavier than I expected. I tried it on my 35mm f1/8 lens and it worked like a charm. I did find when I used it on a lens with external moving parts the lens weighed down the part of the lens that actually moved. It wasnt a problem on my 18-55mm lens but it did become a problem on my 55-200mm lens when I was extended out. Not a huge deal as long as I hold the lens. The macro is pretty good. Iv never used any macro things on my camera so im not sure what to compare it too but I can see the uses of it. Over all I love this thing and iv only had it for like 12-16 hours. I have a shoot coming up at a house concert so after that show I will truly see how well it preforms. Though honestly for 25 bucks you cant go wrong. Its a solid built lens attachment.

I just got my first DSLR camera a few months ago so I am a beginner and didnt want to spend a lot of money on a fish eye but wanted to take the round pictures. I absolutely love this lens! It is a great buy for the price and I had a lot of fun taking pictures of buildings and objects around the house with it. I use it with my kit lens - Canon 18-55mm STM and it zooms between full rectangle shape with slight distortion at edges to a completely round circle with really neat distortion effect. I would definitely recommend getting it to fit your zoom lens instead of a fixed lens! The only thing that you have to watch with a longer lens on your camera is that when you use the built-in flash and have it set on on the tighter circle you will get a shadow in the shot at the bottom in the middle. I use mine mostly during the day so it isnt a problem for me.

Took a few photos with this lens so far. They didnt come out as well as I expected. But, considering I am in between an amateur and a pro, I havent had a fisheye lens in the past. I will continue to practice with this lens, and let you know the results. Its kind of like blaming the musical instrument for ones lack of talent, but I know this lens will end up being included for good in my collection.

I ordered this for the fisheye lens and figured the macro was a throw-in that I might use every once in a while, just for fun. Nope. They use a 52mm x 58mm ring adapter on the back of the FE lens to adapt it to the front of the macro lens, but the thing is screwed on so tight to the back of the FE lense that I dont think I could separate them without damaging the adapter or the lens. Took a couple of shots with the macro and the glass is hazy. Not worth the money, and it was dirt cheap, so that should tell you something.

Its not a bad lens for the price, I suppose. It produces the desired wide angle "fish-eye" effect I was looking for. The only problem Ive seemed to come across is that, when connected to my current (regular) lens, it seems to push the focusing ability for distant objects beyond the focal length of the lens making it impossible to get clear imaging on very distant objects. It could just be the lens that I am mating it to as well, Im not sure. For close up stuff , it seems to work great. The macro lens seems to work quite nicely as well. For 26 dollars and some change, Im not going to complain too much.

OMG! I bought this for the fish eye attachment just so I can see what it does (Im new to this photography stuff) and thought I should get something less expensive than an actual Nokia "fish eye" lens. First off, the super wide-angle fish eye attachment is awesome! Found out it is great for landscape but found some interesting ways to use as well. It wasnt until a couple of days later when I was really messing with my gear that I realize this thing came with a "super" Macro attachment. I havent gotten a chance to try it out yet but will soon. Havent been this excited about anything in a long time. Will update on build and quality later but so far everything feels great!

When dealing in the field of photography, there are so many variables for the ametuer....and we all started out that way:-) I gave a 5-star rating to this product, not only because it is a great product for the money, but also because of the detailed information it gave concerning the compatability to various cameras on the market. Many other companies require followup questions between the prospective customer and the company, this one detailed everything in advance, to my satisfaction. I was also impressed with the fast shipping, as it saved me additional time with my intended project. Yes, I would certainly recommend this product to my friends, or anyone for that matter, who seeks a good wide angle / Macro lens.

This was such a great buy!! I was looking to add to my lens collection and found that I was missing micro and fisheye lenses for a project I am working on. I first decided to go to some major retail stores and look but the prices were too high and they did not have it in stock. I went on Amazon and found exactly what I needed at about 1/3 of the price!! I was so happy that I found this product due to the fact that I had priced other lenses and were about 3 times more than what I was willing to spend. I loved this product so much and I will for sure be purchasing more from this vendor. Thanks Again Digital Goga/Altura Photo!!!
