Hi Frits:

I used one of these some years ago for a day.  It was a bit of a novelty
which wore off its appeal pretty quickly.

With a M50mm f:1.7 it gave a full frame image with enough distortion to call
it a fisheye effect.  With my M28 f:2.8 it gave a circular image within the
frame.  Optically it had poor sharpness and very low contrast (muddy
tonality).  It was nearly useless with the 28 mm lens.  Needless to say I
never had the desire to use it again.  I imagine all of these add-ons would
give you similar quality.

Not recommended.  Cheers,  - Andrew.

Subject: Sunagor lens


I am holding a Sunagor Super Wide Semi Fish-Eye 0.42x made in Japan lens in
my 
hand. It has no focus control or aperture. On the back it has 54mm thread, 
and a step down ring to 52mm. If I understand this correct, you can mount it

on a lens like a filter, and it will give you a wide angle lens.

Doe anyone know how good this is?
What would the value be? The lens is in very good condition.
