I have a similar lens, originally bought for an Epson digicam to get some wide angle closeups of machinery. It is a fun toy. When the images are downsampled to web resolution and sharpened, it doesn't do too bad, except for excessive flare and vignetting. I've never had a print made from anything shot with this attachment, so I can't speak for how well or poorly it makes prints. At full 6 mb DSLR resolution it is soft all over, but again not as bad as some lenses I've seen. Here's some shots. The primary lens was a CPC Phase 2 28mm/f2.8 Macro, which by the way is a fairly sharp lens all by itself. The fisheye attachment flares a lot: http://www.photolin.com/misc/at001.jpg ...and in case you didn't notice the vignetting in the first shot: http://www.photolin.com/misc/at002.jpg and it's a way to get yourself, or at least your shadow, in the photo: http://www.photolin.com/misc/at003.jpg -- John Mustarde www.photolin.com
