Wide but distorted

A little too distorted and after cropping not incredibly wide.� Still fun, I would recommend the ultrawide fisheye version so have more field of view to play with.

Ok so this conversion lens is relatively cheap, so it does take the perfect circumstances to get quality results.� With a long exposure and small ?-stop you can get good quality images, especially if you manage the images well in post.� This won't replace a proper wide angle lens by any means, but it's good fun and there's nothing to los trying it out.

Si usted esta interesado en usar este lente de Nikon AF-s DX Nikkor 35mm F/1.8, deve saber que si le cabe en el hilo frontal pero puede causar que el enfoque automatico trabaje incorrectamente.

question

I'm thinking of getting this lens for my Canon 50mm f1.8 with Canon 6D and T3i. Does it cause vignetting or reduce the light value?
Asked by: Tim
Adding optics to a lens is at the most going to do no harm but in general it is not going to improve the lens optics. And with a wide angle add-on-lens it will distort. It is always better to use a lens not an add-on-lens.
