Features:

  • EXPANSIVE 180 DEGREE VIEW - The Opteka 6.5mm f/3.5 Circular Fisheye Lens offers an incredibly exciting perspective and takes photography to a range that exceeds the ability of the human eye. Bend the typical view of your photographs and video to the extreme with the ability to capture a full 180 degree panoramic frame. That fishbowl angle, combined with the impressive 11.8-inch focusing distance, allows an incredible depth of field making the 6.5mm the perfect addition to your bag of tricks.
  • HD SUPER MULTI-COATED OPTICS - In order to assist with the common and annoying problem of flare and ghosting, Opteka's Fisheye lens has been coated with a special layer above the optics to reduce this harmful effect. Additionally, a removable petal shaped lens hood is included reducing further the amount of light directly on the lens. This provides a valuable shelter from unwanted light rays helping you to capture ultra clear and vivid images.
  • CONSISTENT AND SHARP IMAGES - Because a single aspherical element is utilized in the lens, this helps to reduce aberrations while maintaining a consistent illumination for sharpness around the entire image edge. Because there is so much detail in the frame of the fisheye with its wide angle view, this welcome addition is a helpful tool to create high quality and consistent images every time.
  • DURABLE HEAVY DUTY CONSTRUCTION - With an aluminum alloy lens mount, a super strong connection between lens and camera ensures your Opteka Fisheye will hold up against wear and tear and keep you capturing incredible images for years to come.
  • INCLUDED - Opteka 6.5mm f/3.5 Circular Fisheye Lens for Canon EF, Front and Rear Lens Caps, Lens Hood, Lens Pouch, 5-Year Warranty

great wide angle everything came as is and safely packaged.

Came quickly and complete

I enjoyed the price. The lens is not automatic focus. But putting my camera into manual and adjusting the speed and apature, it gets good results. I'm still a little slow with it but improving with practice. Nice unit, solidly built and serves my needs. The cleaning kit is a nice bonus.

Action Sports Fisheye Photos (or anything else you like!)

Exactly what you would expect from this fisheye. Provides a nice wide angle/fish photo with crisp results. I personally use this to shoot skateboarding and snowboarding photos. Not a bad start for getting into action sports photography. Attached are a couple photos my girlfriend shot of me with a T6i and this lens the first few times ever using a DSLR. Highly recommend :)

Includes a nicely padded form-fitting case.

I'm new to using a wide angle lens, so I can't say much about using it yet. But I wanted to mention that a very nice form-fitted case is included in the box, and it isn't mentioned in the product description. They just mention a "lens pouch", but mine came in a semi-hard shell zippered form fitted case that looks like carbon fiber (not sure if it is).

Not fancy, but works well.

...and unlike my Bower 8mm fisheye, I didn't have to calibrate it!

A Great Tool For A Budget

A nice piece of gear which can take ultra wide photos with APS-C cameras. The images are bit soft but can be corrected in the post. Still trying to get good results with video, not too bad. I would recommend this for 360 degree photography.

Amazing lens for the buck. Distortion and Chromatic AB can be taken out in post. Go for it peeps.

Incredible lens at a great value!

This is an amazing lens. I have used if for taking property listing photos and they turn out great. Highly recommend it to anyone looking for a fisheye lens.
