Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I expected moderate quality when I bought this very low cost fixed focus lens, but I am highly delighted with the purchase. It came with a macro ring and a lens cap. I use it on a Sony VX2000 DV camera and I get about 50% more field of view - exactly as you would expect since its rated by the vendor as 0.5X on the box. The item, like many lens these days is anodised black and once the unit has been screwed in and removed a few times the threads on the ring became bare metal but still mate and thread OK. I keeep it on the lens all the time now. The macro is very good with a focal range of about 2" to 3" - enough to get in close and do fine focussing with the main lens on the camera, My main use is in crowded pubs and clubs where I cannot step back from my subject so the wider angle is welcome. Now the Sony 6-72mm zoom lens behaves as a 3-28mm zoom and I have not noticed any vignetting or color fringing, and while there probably is some in a high-tech laboratory evaluation, I honestly can't see any. The item came in a small vinyl leatherette bag and arrived by UPS in a secure carton. One downside - The Sony VX2000 lens hood will no longer attach (its via a ring-clip and knurled screw on the zoom housing) so I may spring for a lens hood which surprisingly costs as much as the lens !

This lens is ready to be placed onto a standard lens and can work in two different modes:Super wide angle:x0.45 conversion, so if it is placed on a 35-80mm lens, you will have a 18-40mm lens, that covers all wide variations, from what we know as fisheye effect to a normal wide-angle (just by playing with your zoom). Macro mode:This is a lens that will enable to take close-up pictures. You will be able to take sharp pictures as close as 50mm from the subject (perfect for miniatures, coins, insects, flowers, etc..).
