Like having a convenience store CCTV lens on you camera!
It's a toy, they tell you that in the name, toys are for fun and this is no exception. It's great for experimenting with razor thin depth of field, blurry and shallow to reasonably sharp and deep. If you're lucky, sometimes you just might capture a bit of beauty. Go ahead and try it, you might surprise yourself.

It is fun to use, not the most practical but if you want that nostalgic toy camera look this is better than using a filter. It is cheap enough that if you want that kind of look it is worth picking up. If you are looking at this as just a cheap lens that is fast at f1.4 this probably won't be what you want, this isn't a clean image, it is an image that has character.

fun & funky lens
love the analog look of the photos from this little guy. a super weird tiny lens that's a bit finicky to focus (manual focus only) but honestly that only adds to the aesthetic. produces images with a cool low-fi look & a very good price point. I use my MFT camera (an olympus epl8) for these fun & weird lenses & stick to my dslr for "real" shots.

Unique look
A fun lens with a unique look. Not very expensive for a little creative option.

Neat Little Lens for Creative Shots
This product is exactly as described; "It is a special effects lens that is meant to capture impressionistic images. Dreamy, color twist and noticeable vignette. This fully manual lens is great for creative photographers who would like to take artistic photos with a shallow Depth of Field."
It is relatively sturdy and well made. I had no technical issues using it on a Lumix GX-85. Comes with a bunch of different colored rubber barrel grips for fun I suppose. Minimum focus distance is around 18". Makes for an interesting portrait effect.

Just plain fun
This lens is just fun to use. It always surprises me with the results I get. It weighs next to nothing. I haven't had any problems at all using it on the E-PM2. Just play with it and have fun. The different funky looks you will get with it will surprise you. If you like playing with the lens cap lens you will enjoy this one too. If all you want is tack sharp shots get something else, but for the money I've had plenty of fun with it.

fun little device!
I've occasionally had a slight problem with my Olympus epl-5 recognizing the lens is attached, but re-seating the lens on the body has resolved the issue so far. It's a fun lens with a nice look to it! PS: it's TINY, and no weight to it at all.

Super awesome fun!
Just got this lens today. I have only had a chance to take a few shots so far but have already got a few great pix that I couldn't get with any other lens. I love the swirly bokeh that you can get and the cool vignetting. I was super happy when I found out about this lens and now that I have one, I am not disappointed. Great bang for the buck if you have any interest in the creative, lo-fi aesthetic you can get with this lens!

Cool little lens
Interesting little lens, I bought it to play around with my new micro 4/3 camera. It is definitely not a lens I would use primarily, but it is fun. It is fast, but no auto-focusing. Forces me to think more about what I am doing. For the price, it is a great lens to have. I do have issues on my olympus. When I attach the lens, often the camera does not recognize the lens and it takes me a while to get it working. This is a bit frustrating. Hoping to find the magic formula to get it working every time.
