So far, these lenses look nice and I am looking forward to experimenting with them.

I paid $10 for this filter so I wasn't expecting much. I got it because I wanted to try digitizing negatives on a light table. For that purpose it works, though not nearly as well as a nice film scanner (which costs hundreds more). It requires some...

I bought this fisheye to use with an Nikon D300 . I've being using this lens for just a week now and the pictures show good quality so far. I didn't try it in a great variety of light situations but I'll update this review when I try it harder. The...

I returned it because feels cheap and is plastic / otherwise works well. Not what I was looking. I bought another but metal construction

This lens is very difficult to review. There is a very big difference between the optics and buildings. Of course its a cheap lens, but as a "real macro-freak" normally I am used to better lenses. I have 6 top-macros from Sigma, Tamron and Canon and...

These are good adapters to use on video cameras. Easy to put on and came with extra rings so that they could fit on a variety of video camera lenses.

I have used this lens on a Canon EOS film camera before using it on a 20D Canon system. It is a weighty lens but with a battery grip it turns out to be well balanced. The push/pull zoom is useful, easy and fast while minimal care has to be exercised...

The reason I don't like it is because not only of it's cheap, plasticy construction, auto mode that isn't even automatic, it's big and clumsy, and THE FLASH IS VISIBLE IN SOME OF THE FOCAL LENGTHS. I have an 18-250mm lens, with 62mm ring (I think), and...

I haven't had a chance to use these yet, but they fit well and snugly, and electronic info is transmitted through any combination of the tubes.

I bought this after reading a recommendation and was pretty skeptical. However, after getting it I am amazed at how good the quality is. Zooming in to 100%, the image is surprisingly sharp and pretty well saturated, even at edges and in the corners. ...

All three worked well with my Sony a200 with Sigma 150mm macro and Sony 30mm macro. No problems in fitting or af. But I have'nt tested them enough yet.

Already had some good result good lens for money bit tricky with getting your settings right with exposure practice and patience needed.

Works great with my Camcorder. The tilt and pans are smooth without any slack. I also like the front and side levels witch I didn't see on others. With all the adjustment knobs snug it is sturdy enough. The only down side I find is the quick release is...

I purchased these because the price seemed right. Well, you get what you pay for. It is the roughest and thinnest microfiber cloth I have ever seen. Not really sure I trust then with my glasses or camera. Not worth sending back.

This is an OK accessory; but, not a great one. It does extend the range on Canon lenses; however, it does not autofocus well. When shooting stationary targets I can manually focus well enough; but, cannot, rely on auto-focus when using it. It's a handy...

Its a product just for fun. The auto focus is disable, therefore you will have to do a Manual Focus mode. A little bit of an inconveience.

I bought this to shoot airshows and kids' outdoor sports (soccer, baseball, football), originally on a film body but the last few years on a DX digital body. For those uses it is great, considering I paid so little for it. However the autofocus is...

I could not get the remote to work. I found one with a wire that works. But the junky tripod was worth something.

Vivitar has been making great products at a fantastic deal for decades. These filters are no different. A great set of basic filters for every photographer/camera.

I have another one for a different camera and it works great, so used the same brand for the new camera.

My first encounter with a Vivitar Series 1 lens goes back more than 15 years to the 600mm "Solid Cat," one of the slickest super-telephotos ever made.
