Precision Design 0.25X Super AF Fisheye Lens for Sony Alpha SLT-A33, A35, A55, A230, A290, A330,... by Precision Design $59.95 At Amazon on 2-12-2012.

All glass lens elements; Exceptionally large depth of field Reduces your lenses focal length by an amazing .25X; Offers attention-grabbing and distinctive perspectives Optimized to work with almost any lens with a minimum focal length from 18mm to 50mm Includes set of adapter rings to work with 52mm, 55mm, 58mm & 62mm filter diameters Can offer ultra wide angle, diagonal fisheye and circular fisheye images; Especially useful for real estate or shooting in confined spaces like an aircraft or boat; A truly fun optic that can be used creatively or as the magic tool that gets the whole view in one shot The all-glass high resolution optics of the Precision Design .25x Super Fish Eye is manufactured in Japan and have been engineered to do one thing and do it well; reduce the focal length of a lens by .25X to provide an amazing fish eye view. Depending on the camera model and lens it's mounted on, the image can cover the entire frame edge to edge or provide a circular image fully contained within the frame. Mounted to a zoom lens, the Precision Design .25X can often offer ultra wide angle, diagonal fisheye (full frame) and circular fisheye images. Close focusing is almost to the front of the optic and there's huge depth of field. The .25X can be a great tool for real estate agents or for just having fun! If you plan on doing panoramic or full room shots, just stand your tripod in a corner facing the center of a room. It can capture almost EVERYTHING, floor to ceiling, wall to wall, except what is directly behind the camera. Just import the resulting image into a panoramic editor or "stitching program" (your digital camera probably came with one), convert it to a QuickTime VR file, and have a virtual view of the room. The Precision Design .25X is the affordable fisheye optic for useful, unusual and fun pictures you otherwise wouldn't be able to obtain. WILL WORK WITH ANY LENS WITH A FILTER SIZE OF 52mm, 55mm, 58mm & 62mm (lens is 58mm, 3 adapter rings included) which includes most Nikon, Canon, Olympus, Minolta Maxxum / Sony Alpha, Pentax, Tamron, Sigma, Tokina and other major brand lenses. This 0.25x Super Fisheye Lens can mount to almost any digital or film SLR lens made with optional adapter rings. This is definitely a lens adapter for the casual photography fan. There is considerable distortion on the edges of the picture that only gets worse when you zoom. The fisheye lens itself ends up being extremely bulky after you add it to the end of your existing lens, which also creates a noticable dark spot when you try to use the flash with this adapter. This happens because the flash of the Alpha 330 (my camera) is not high enough to adapt for the extended length of the lens when this adapter is added. When you don't use the flash this is obviously not an issue, but if you ever want to shoot in the dark this is pretty annoying. All in all, I would say that this is a decent lens for the price it is listed. Obviously it won't suffice for a professional photographer; there are simply too many short comings. But for someone who enjoys photography yet is not too serious about it (as am I), this is a decent lens to start out with. Shipping was quick and there was nothing wrong with the product itself after shipping. Back To Top Precision Design 0.25X Super AF Fisheye Lens for Sony Alpha SLT-A33, A35, A55, A230, A290, A330,...
