Blurry Focus, Tough To Attach
Best Uses:

Bottom Line:
No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Comments about Adorama Pro Optic Auxiliary Super Fish-Eye Lens, 0.25x.:

... you get what you pay for. It's about a tenth of the price of a true fish eye, so it's about a tenth of the quality and ease of use of a true fish eye too!
The focus is only good in the center of the lens, the edges become blurry very quickly, and it takes time to attach it to your main lens.

Comments about Adorama Pro Optic Auxiliary Super Fish-Eye Lens, 0.25x.:

There was some initial confusion around the need for the series 7 adapter ring (one did not come with the product), but this was sent later after some discussions with Adorama.The lens is very fun to have, and relatively inexpensive. There is a loss of focus near the edges, and depending on the size of your lens, you may experience vignetting which can be partially eliminated by zooming.Very fun to get up close to an object to allow the image to deform in interesting ways via the lens.[...]

I like it because I can not afford a high quality fish eye lens. So, for the cost, the effect is great.

Comments about Adorama Pro Optic Auxiliary Super Fish-Eye Lens, 0.25x.:

Have had a lot of fun. Adds wide-angle capability even to digital. I use it attached to my 28-70. The back lens cover doesn't fit the adapter, and there was no cover with the adapter. Pretty easy to attach/remove.

This product is great for the price. Idea for students with low income.
Product is bulky after you attaching to the len. Make sure the product is attached firmly. If not it may fall off. Be careful.
