Bower Fisheye Review

What I have is the Bower Deluxe HD super 0.42x wide-angle lens with macro attachment for my Nikon D40 which has a 52mm lens thread. It comes with the wide-angle adapter, and a nice macro attachment. It also comes with a front and back lens cover, all inside a nice pleather pouch for safe keeping. It's very easy to use. Pretty much plug and play. It comes with a 52mm thread adapter so that the lens will screw onto the end of my kit lens. You can also get a 58mm thread adapter for the canon. They also make them for pretty much any camcorder for those super legit fisheye skate vids. At about 33mm you get a really nice wide angle. Almost a 180 degree view. At 18mm you get a dope fisheye effect as you can see in the picture above. It allows me to autofocus very easily and the resolution is sharp in the center but towards the outsides, you get a little blur and distortion. There's also quite a bit of light reflection in some of the photos but nothing that will ruin shots. Besides these minor flaws its great for those people who arent looking to buy the 10.2mm nikkor wide angle lens for $800+. This only cost me about $37 and there is a bunch of legit sellers on ebay. If you want to experiment with a fisheye lens, this is the way to go.
