The Bower Auxiliary 0.42x Fisheye + Macro Lens is a fisheye lens that attaches to the front of an existing lens, to be used with 46mm filter thread lenses or Series 7 adapter rings. It can also be used as a Macro lens, by unscrewing the back element, and using that part on its own.
Using this "auxiliary" fisheye lens is an inexpensive way to achieve similar results to a brand-name fisheye lens, which can run to as much as $600 to $800.

Comments about Bower Auxiliary 0.42x Fisheye + Macro Lens (Black):
easy to screw on existing lens. The 4 corners are quite blurry in fisheye mode. Super macro needs to be very close to the object in order to get the sharpest focus.
Cannot rely on autofocus with fixed focal distance lens.
It lacks lens cap to protect the front fisheye lens when using the macro lens.
Ok for fun fisheye/macro effect at this price.
