This is the worse polarizer filter I ever had. It polarizes but you loss tons of sharpness. I did scientific test with 70-200mm L f/2.8 IS II lens and compare it with cheapest hoya (green series) under the bright sun. My sharpest lens produce very bad...

O.K. Let me first start off by saying that I am no camera\/lens expert in the technical sense. I am not a pro and only recently purchased my first DSLR (a Canon 7D with grip.) I initially went with Canon\'s EF 18-200 lens for about $600 to get my feet...

I first tried to replace the NiCd battery with the new Metalhyride battery since they have a much larger current storage capacity. It turns out that the MH batteries tend to leak current so their voltage will drop steadily even without use. I then...

Well, OK...you are probably already living in the 3rd dimension, but that was the tag line for this camera. It was originally designed to take lenticular photos. The film was processed and printed in a specific way to create a print that looked 3-D. ...

This guy seems to have had success with it on his LX3. I had one on my LX3 before selling the camera. I did the adjustment like he did and it worked fine for me. I have one on my G10 now and it has lasted for quite awhile now. [...]

I waited 10 business days before giving up on receiving a meaningful response and calling this seller. The explanation was, it must have been "lost". I gave them the benefit of a doubt, confirmed my shipping address and was told they would send one...

I bought this lens, even though I have used a catadioptic before, so was aware of the drawbacks. My conclusion: leave it to catadioptic fanatics! Getting started was not easy: I use a Sony A-100 which apparently does not recognize this lens; ...

I Think the pupose of this filter is to protect the lens when it's being stored and not for optical use. This may explain the previous review, but it doesn't explain why you would ever need one unless you've lost the lens cap.

I wasted a lot of money for this lens. I bought this lens for our Arizona trip to get some great shots of the Grand Canyon. I have a Lumix FZ50. I tried every conceivable setting and had vignetting in EVERY shot. I also did the conversion lens...

Image quality is bad, buil is bad, motor is so slow and noisy, buzzing like a bee. I had to look twice before i realized that this is actually a Canon lens.

I purchased this just to add some physical protection to the front element of the lens. The hood is so shallow it doesn't really make any difference, and other than that it is really not needed on an 18-55mm kit lens. If you want to protect your lens...

This is made for relatively cheap cameras that don't have a good zoom lens. If you put this on the front of a Nikor long lens you will be a bit disappointed. But that's natural. It is really cheap. Remember what you grandmother used to say, "If the...

I bought this lens to triple the telephoto capabilities of my Olympus C-8080, whose internal zoom lens of 5x this "Tokina" 3x extends to 15x. Upon mounting the lens to my camera, the first annoyance that I encountered was that even at my camera's...

I was very disappointed with the quality of the pictures using the lens on my Sony H2 camera. At full telephoto length, the pictures have a lighted haze around the image at the center of the picture. I have tried experimenting somewhat, but have been...

One of the flood hoods was rather banged up and dented or arrival. The light in one promptly blew when turned on. So, I replaced it with a 100 watt bulb. One of my worst purchases ever!

Very bad lens.

I have wanted to own one of these since I was a teenage boy. At age 60 I finally bought one. Unfortunately it arrived with the size adapters missing. The concept is a bit weird, I guess good for stalkers and people who like to pretend they are...

Having had a tele converter for my old Fine Pix camera, which I just put on and took photos and it worked, I have to say I am very disappointed with this product, I still have not managed to get it to take photographs in focus. I will keep going...

The size is a little bit too tight for my flash olympus FL50R but it is working. Try it having the black side in front and you will get a nice diffuse light. i give only three stars because it is not easy to put it on the flash.

2 stars for a nice idea. Not very portable. Does not fit well. In the right conditions the light is useful. It's heavy. I'm disappointed.

Once again, you get what you pay for. I use this with a Rebel XTi. This lens works great, quiet enough focus and covers a good range at a great price. However, I hope you like your pictures a little soft. All my pictures are a little soft with...

I agree with the other reviewers that this lens is built cheap-but it is cheap so what's the complaint? I've used the lens on my Pentax K10d & while it doesn't produce saturated colors, it is pretty sharp. This lens is ok for a beginner & has some uses...

There is a secret about using these reels. Sort of best practice, using which, you will get much better results. Example. If you are about to buy, say, 8 of these reels, $7.99 each plus quite not cheap shipping, than take four or five (depending on how...

Although it worked as advertised, this is a very fragile ring. Mine broke after 2 weeks of use. I didn't abuse it or even used it very extensively. I've probably mounted my old nikkor lenses 10-15 times before it disintegrated. Had to return to...
