The cap keeper stays attached to the cap PRETTY well, but the elastic band is not strong enough. The elastic

loop that goes around the lens keeps coming off once in a while.

 "Lens cap strap [With modification}" 2010-01-07
By Joseph P. Portas (Elbert Colorado)
Works a promised with one exception:

Strap [just a stretchy cord] is too short for a lens longer than a standard lens.

I bought it for my NIKON D90 with 18-105 lens .... worked fine for a while but broke the cord after a month of use.

If the cord were longer I'm sure it would not have broken!

Easy fix ........ I replaced the 'cord' with a much longer 1/8" black ribbon from my wife sewing supplies.

Can remove the metal clip at the 'lens barrel' area with needle nose pliers and the 'dot' decal comes off easy

on the 'cap end' so you can rethread any length cord you want. Just make knots at the cap end and the lens end so

the keeper is secured. Works great ....... no tension on the keeper!



Then again just buy another "Keeper" they are so cheap!

 "So far so good" 2010-01-06
By songalex (Mexico,Mexico)
I purchased two one for a 58mm lenses and one for 77mm lense I was afraid that it breaks when i put it to the bigger lenses so i did with care trying not to open it to much to get inside, also I cleaned the surface with cleaning clothes trying to avoid the loss of sticking.

And so far none of the defectives or quality issues of other reviews have happened, remains one piece, remains attached to the cap keeper.

the cap keeper is cheap, but i leave the cap dangle with no extra care, i put and remove the cap often on my 77mm lenses because i have not buy the protection filter and it remains on good shape, no signs of warning.

I recommend the product, but i took the other reviews in mind on "my instalation instructions"

 "Opteka HD² 0.20X Professional Super AF Fisheye Lens for Canon EOS Digital Rebel XT, XTi, XS, XSi..." 2010-02-23
By J. DEMELO (Boston, MA)
Just received this conversion lens. Like other reviews have said, you get what you pay for. But in this case, this isn't such a bad thing. If you want to have some fun experimenting with a wide angle, fisheye lens before purchasing a 600 to 900 dollar professional option, it's definitely worth it. Fisheye pictures are a bit of a novelty, and the whole fun factor might wear out over time. All the more reason to go with an inexpensive option.



1. I'm not entirely sure why this would matter but the lens is in fact made in China, not Japan. With that being said, I received a solid, well made lens and the glass is crystal clear. I was impressed with the construction. The rubber grips work nicely, and the threads allow the lens to effortlessly and smoothly screw into your lens. It also comes with two adapter rings which allow it to fit anthing from 52 to 58mm. It fits my Canon 18 - 55mm kit lens with the largest of the two adapters. Without either of the two adapters, it fits nicely into my Canon prime f/1.8 50mm lens. It also comes with a mostly worthless cleaning cloth and a small, felt-like pouch to store the lens in when not in use. The pouch was a nice touch.



2. The lens is fairly heavy. While this might feel good when you hold it, I kind of wonder if the weight might affect the "gears" inside my kit lens while the camera is auto-focusing. I can't help but feel like it might add significant strain. Doesn't seem to be an issue so far, but may be worth mentioning. The weight does seem to slow down the auto-focus on my 18-55mm kit lens just slightly... though not enough to really be concerned. I suppose I'll have to see any effects from long term use, but I imagine my Canon lenses are built well enough to handle the extra weight.



3. Nowhere on the lens or box does it say Canon, or for Canon, or XS, XT, XSi, 30D, etc...

With that being said, this lens should fit any camera as long as the lens is between 50mm to 58mm. It should also fit video cameras. It's just a general SLR conversion lens that should fit most lenses with the help of the adapter rings.



4. I don't really understand all of the fuss about the HD aspect of it. If you hold the lens to your eye and look through it like a looking glass, it is remarkably bright and clear and indeed "HD". Otherwise, on the camera it looks just fine. Nothing to rave about.



5. As previous reviews mentioned, when zoomed all the way out you get the full "round" fisheye look. You can see the edge of the lens, but it's a nice effect and fun to use. Zoom in a bit and you get a nice wide angle shot. The edges do appear to fuzz a bit, but I don't see this as a huge issue since it is an inexpensive lens, after all.



All in all, I really look forward to using it more. No regrets with the purchase. Photography is an expensive hobby, and I'm happy there are inexpensive options out there for people who are just looking to try out some different shots.

 "Fun but not Quality" 2010-01-18
By Neal Fassnacht (nealf)
I just got this for christmas and it is fun to play around with but I was disappointed with how much it affected the quality of the images. It's a cool toy and definitely cheaper than buying a real fish-eye - but you get what pay for and in this case you don't get a sharp image. I would recommend it to someone who just wants to take some shots for fun and isn't worried about having prints made.

 "Great value, great photos, fun shooting!" 2010-01-05
By Justin Ryan (Grayslake, IL USA)
I shivered when I saw the prices of fisheye lenses for my Canon XSi until I came across a few of these kind of lenses which instead of integrating into the camera itself, they screw onto the end of the existing lens. This affordable lens takes fantastic wide-angle photos, however there is a pretty extreme barreling effect which I expected after using a 35mm Fisheye by Lomo. I am amazed at the clarity of the photos I have obtained. I was expecting more distortion, chromatic aberration, etc. but this does not seem to be the case with this lens.

Does this compare to a $600 180 degree lens? Probably not. But for someone who isn't using such a lens professionally, this is the perfect starter to get you a taste of what the wide angle can produce.



My ONLY complaint is that the lens cap that came with does not fit with the adapter ring, and so the ring must be removed each time I put the lens away in it's little bag. Nothing serious.



Final thoughts: It's fun, it's cheap, and it produces high quality photos! What more can you ask for?

 "You get what you pay for." 2010-01-24
By Raymond Rees (Califonia)
I bought this zoom lens to take pics at Twin Peaks in San Francisco and in the hills of the East Bay. The lens is okay for the price but the quality of the workmanship and of the photos is no way near as good as a name-brand lens that costs 1000s of dollars. Remember, you get what you pay for. If you are like me and cannot afford a lens that costs $1000s then this is a decent alternative.

 "Iffy on wether I would buy it again." 2009-12-17
By M. Montana (Darkside, Moon)
I bought this for my wife a while back... She barely uses it, as its normally not clear enough.



The only good picture she got with it, is a full moon, on a tripod, in zero wind, with a remote shutter trigger, with taking over 25 shots to get 1 good one, and only using the 500mm lense, and ditching the doubler.



They just dont make a decent 1000mm lense for under 3k... Period. If you want to play, I guess this would be good for that. The lens Doubler We got with this makes it nearly useless, using the lens as a 500 mm one (removing the doubler) produces tolerable pictures.



If you are looking for high quality shots... either pay 3k, or deal with not getting that shot.



If your looking to just take pictures of things far away, then this is 'ok' for that.

Inner focusing, driven by a silent and powerful ring-type USM, means the lens' overall length never changes during focus. This lens is a wonderful multi-purpose lens that's equally at home shooting macro shots, portraits or available-light photos.

 "Very impressive" 2010-01-31
By T. Campbell (Dearborn, MI USA)
I've been shooting with one of these lenses for about 6 months now and so far I am extremely pleased with the performance of this lens. It's fast, quiet, and accurate auto-focus. It produces a nice soft background blur at f/2.8 when you want one. The lighting & focus are nice & flat from edge to edge, and focus is tack sharp. Macro shots provide juicy color & detail. The picture quality from this prime-focus lens rivals the quality produced by some of my L series lenses (but L series lenses generally start at around $1000 and go up from there.) Basically the price to quality value is extremely good.



A few have commented that they don't understand the point of having a 60mm macro when Canon already makes a 100mm macro. Macro lenses aren't *just* for macro work -- they also function as great "walking around" prime-focus lenses for quick shots that will look better than probably any zoom lens in the price range. 60mm is comfortable focal length for this. I can take portrait half shots and three-quarter shots of subjects without feeling like I need to walk back to the next room just to get the subject to fit in the picture.



I use this lens for macro work, food photography, portrait work, and walking-around candids.



If I were to lose this lens, it would definitely be on my list of lenses that I would buy again.

 "Simply Superb!" 2010-01-20
By D. Warnecke
This lens is just about perfect, and I don't throw that word around much. It yields blistering sharpness across the frame even at f/2.8 with punchy colors and great contrast. AF is pretty quick for a macro lens and silent as not to disturb the insects or other little critters you may be photographing. The build quality is sturdy with a nice texture on the barrel and a good feel to the focus ring. This lens functions as my portrait lens as well and does a good job kicking backgrounds out of focus at f/2.8 while rendering the subject with remarkable sharpness and clarity. In fact, it may be too sharp for some portrait work, you could count the pores on the subject's skin! You can't go wrong with this lens. I consider it a "must buy" for anyone with a Canon EF-S compatible camera.

 "Excellent Lens for the Money" 2010-01-09
By A. Holmes (Hartford, CT USA)
This is a great lens for jumping into the world of macro photography. I was completely amazed at the quality that this lens delivered.



There are more expensive and higher quality lens out there for macro photography, but for the average user (not in the professional field) this is the best choice.



You will not be disappointed by this lens.



The only thing I find a bit weird is that there is no "zoom" with the lens, but that is to be expected with a macro lens of this type. The zoom is in tune with the focus of the lens.

 "There's a reason it's been around for a while" 2009-05-17
By Isaac E. Harrell (Richmond, VA 23220)
With the constant release of new lenses, it's impressive to find a reasonably-priced zoom with staying power. The Canon EF 100-300 is one of those lenses, maintaining it's position in their lineup for over a decade. While it cannot compete with the L-series lenses, especially the 70-200 f/2.8, it offers a great range within a reasonable price. On a DSLR with low-noise at higher ISO setting, bringing up the ISO is a fair trade for the performance it offers. True, I drool when I look at the 70-200 models, but this one has been a constant and trustworthy companion for events, especially when shooting outdoor events where I prefer a low profile for more effective candid shots. While my next purchase will probably be a 70-200, there's no way I would give this one up.

 "Not for me" 2009-02-12
By L. Jones (Johnson City, NY United States)
This is not a lens for anyone shooting events indoors.

It MAY be great for those of you who don't mind using flash, but I really try not to (preference here). So, others like it and keep in mind the type of photography you do and take it for a test drive - returned.

 "I'm no expert, but I really love this lens..." 2008-05-19
By Jimmy! (Florida Panhandle)
I'm no professional, but I love taking photos. I have the XTi and only have two lenses so far: the 28-105 and this one, the 100-300. In reading several reviews, I seem to not be alone in this setup.



Overall, I absolutely love this lens and haven't had any problems with it in the six months I've had it. My images stay pretty sharp throughout the zoom range and I rarely have light problems. Most notably, I recently used this lens to shoot an evening choir concert at the church where I work. Despite the low light and the distance, I was able to get some well balanced, crisp, and well-lit shots of the people singing.



If you're just the average joe-photographer looking for a great telephoto zoom, I'd very highly recommend this lens. If you're any sort of professional, read the more intelligent reviews around here for the information you're looking for.

 "Canon telephoto zoom lens is great." 2008-05-03
By Ada Hinton
Though it can take some time to learn to use it, it has been very helpful in taking pictures that can't be taken with a normal point and shoot.

Canon EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 II Lens for EOS Digital SLR Rebel XT, XTI, 20D & 30D Digital Cameras

Review Canon EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 II Lens for EOS Digital SLR Rebel XT, XTI, 20D & 30D Digital Cameras


Buy Cheap Canon EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 II Lens for EOS Digital SLR Rebel XT, XTI, 20D & 30D Digital Cameras From Here Now!

Canon's redesigned compact EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 II autofocus zoom lens (approximately a 28-90mm lens in 35mm format) is smaller and lighter than conventional lenses because of the shorter back focus distance. By reducing the distance from the rear of the lens to the imaging sensor and reducing the size of the image circle to accommodate the camera's imaging sensor size, the lens produces high image quality with superb resolution at all focal lengths.

By optimizing the EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 II lens coatings, Canon's engineers have effectively minimized the chance of flare and ghosting which are more prone to occur with digital cameras than with film cameras. The coatings reduce reflections off the rear of the lens to deliver crisp, undistorted digital images.

 "Exactly what my Son-in-law wanted!" 2010-01-17
By Katherine L. Baker (Las Vegas, NV)
I was very happy to find the lens my son-in-law wanted for Christmas on Amazon. I thought the price was good and the delivery time was well within the day I needed it. The lens arrived within 3 days of my order although I just opted for standard shipping. It was well packed and arrived in excellent condition.

Thank you!

 "Get the new, improved version." 2009-02-26
By Itsmeagain! (Nobamaburg)
The newer Canon EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS lens is the latest version of this kit lens, and it is a significant improvement over this 'has been' lens. The new version is now the standard kit lens included with many EOS cameras. Best of all, the new one sells for much less than $200 dollars, so I wonder why they still try to sell this inferior lens for such a high price? It doesn't even have the IS (image stabilization) that is included in the new version.



There must be people gullible enough to pay good money for below par products, when better can be found for less; if they would just take a few minutes to do a bit of research before purchasing. I have found several photo review sites that give good reviews to the new lens, but this old version is pretty much trashed in the reviews.



The old lens will have I or II in the name, but not IS; the new (better) lens will have IS in the name, but not I or II.



I do have the 'newest version' (EF 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS) lens and it is an OUTSTANDING lens for such a low price! It is a good walk around lens on my 40D due to its light weight, relatively small size, zoom range, and quick auto-focusing. And I really like the image stabilization!

 "Only Someone Who Hasn't/Doesn't Read Reviews Would Buy This Unusably Slow Lens" 2009-01-05
By Ingo
This lens is bad. Not horrible, cuz Canon doesn't make horrible lenses. But considering the other offerings available for the same, less or slightly more money, buying this lens should only become an option if its price point drops to twenty or thirty dollars and then only as a backup. It just isn't worth more money than that.



At 3.5-5.6 it is veeeeeery slow. If you are taking photos indoors, it is unusably slow. Buy the IS version if you need a wide angle zoom. Or for a hundred fifty bucks more than the IS version of this, buy the tamron or sigma f/2.8 wide angle zooms. Much better build qualities than this lens and faster as well.

 "DOES NOT FIT A CANON XTI!!!" 2010-01-17
By misskittykat13 (Halloweentown, OR)
This may be a good lens, however I wouldnt know since it does not fit a canon kit lens or 50mm lens as stated IN THE TITLE!! It is very misleading that it specifically says it will fits canons. Buyers BEWARE. Amazon would not let me return this gift since it was purchased from a seller. Very unhappy. It wasnt even the one pictured, as the lens I recieved was a brassy color, not black like the pic. I cant belive that a seller would mislead customers like that.

 "Does the job, mostly" 2010-01-09
By A. Nolan (MT)
This product is a pretty good bang for your buck. I don't regret this purchase however there are some slight downfalls if you can deal with them, then give this lens a shot. Overall the quality is quite standard, it comes with a rubber cap on one side and a hard plastic cap on the other. Be careful when attaching this to your camera as to not cross-thread it, if you do that well then you've just rendered your new lens useless.



One thing I noticed about this lens when shooting is even when it's zoomed to the farthest back you can go (used with a canon rebel xti) there isn't a complete circle, there is a kind of circle with two flat sides on the top and bottom. Either way it looks quite good. I'll

This lens is very poor quality, and takes poor quality photos. You don't get a wider angle, you only get the fisheye effect...which I can just as easily do in a basic photo editing program.
