Altura Photo 52MM 0.43x HD Wide Angle Lens with Macro - Attaches to 52MM Filter Thread (Not Camera Body) DSLR Camera Accessories for Nikon D7100 D7000 D5500 D5300 D5200 D5100 D3300 D3200 D3100 D3000

HIGHLY recommend! There, I said it again.I purchased a 43mm-52mm Metal Step Up Ring to attach this lens to an old Canon VIXIA R80 for my wide-angle shots. After reading complaints on all of the built-for-VIXIA (43mm) wide-angle lenses showing the (circular) outer rim, I wanted to make sure and buy a larger lens. This works perfectly!I've attached stills from two videos: one with, and one without this lens. And sorry about my filthy picture window; it's still too cold to step out and wash it! LOLThe first thing to note:It's heavy. And I mean that in a GOOD way! It's absolutely solid! Metal housing, quality glass on both the macro and wide-angle lenses, and a secure fit where they are threaded to each other, to the step-up ring, and to the camera.The second thing:It comes with little extras that I had not been expecting: A rubber lens cover that press-fits securely to the front of the lens, and a vegan-leather (PU) carry bag, both of which I will be using even though I didn't know I needed them. The front of this lens is a good 85mm across, which would be the main reason why this baby is so heavy!The third thing:It is definitely fish-eyed. I left in part of the window frame in the wide shot (top right), so you could see the amount of curvature. Remember that I'm shooting through a sized-up 43mm fitting, so this is really just the center of the 52mm Altura lens.And once again, I HIGHLY recommend!

I bought this for the macro lens and don't really use the wide angle piece. Love the macro in combination with my 18-55 lens. Especially nice for small fungi and insects.

Hello there! I am fairly new to photography and just recently purchased my first “real” camera (Not a smartphone and over $100 😂).This review Is for the 49mm Macro/Super Macro Lens, mounted and used on a Canon EOS R50 with RF S18-45mm f4.5-6.3 IS STM.I decided to purchase this product while searching for various lenses for my camera. Since I am new to the photography game, I wanted to try out and add various lenses to my kit. Being that the price point for this lens was far lower than other lenses and seemed to have decent reviews, I figured I would give it a try.The product arrived quickly with Prime and I was extremely excited to test it out. It was packaged nicely and professionally; (outer product box, inner, more protective inner box, leather type (not sure if actual leather) pouch with draw strings, and lastly a disposable plastic bag.Unfortunately, that is when I experienced my issue. The lens would not fit onto my preexisting 49mm thread, 18-45mm lens. Being as this is my first lens purchase for the camera, I was both concerned and slightly discouraged. I looked at my order history and realized this product did not state anything regarding the compatibility with the EOS R series cameras, but rather the EOS M series. I researched online thoroughly and concluded that regardless of if my camera is an R or M series or if the lens is an EF or RF, 49mm should still should be compatible.I then looked through my recent orders and Amazon and found the product description, verified I ordered the correct lens thread size (49mm) in which case I did.From there I grabbed a ruler and took a measurement of the thread size of the mounting portion of the lens, I found the size to be 55mm rather than 49mm. Although I ordered the 49mm, I received the 55mm, even in a 49mm box.I started the replacement process on Amazon, chose to "Replace with the same item" in hopes that it was just a discrepancy when the product was boxed. I received the new lens a few days later and could immediately see the difference in the mounting thread sizes.It mounted right up to my existing 49mm lens with no issues.As for using the lens, it does have a bit of weight to it, I'm sure probably not as much as other lenses, which I have not had the opportunity to test, so I cannot definitively say it is heavy or light in comparison.It definitely does seem to give a wider field of view which will be great for various types of photos. Both auto and manual focus still seem to work without any issues. Clear view, no issues so far with ISO or high shutter speeds. However, there are two issues I have noticed so far with the lens;1: When utilizing the cameras integrated flash, the size and length of the lens definitely casts a shadow at the bottom of the shots. An external flash would probably correct this depending on how high the flash sits.2: The corners of the lens show on the image unless I zoom to right around 22mm. Although this could be a deal breaker for some, I actually like the effect it gives the image. This also will most likely be dependent on the lens type/focal length used.One more thing to note although it hasn't seemed to be negative for my shooting so far, the less zoom I have, the more fisheye the image seems.Pros:*Great packaging*Well built*Very sturdy*Enhanced field of view*No issues with focusing*No issues with ISO*No issues with high shutter speedsCons:*Lens corners visible in images unless zoomed to approximately 22mm

Honestly very impressed with the results it gave my different zoom levels way more Focus ability and better, very impressed with the macro lens exactly what I was looking for to add to my tool set

It does a decent job, but quality is lower than what I would like.

Pretty neat. I purchased this to replace a cheaper wide angle adaptor that I wasn't super impressed with.I'm pleased with the purchase but wanted to add one caveat. The quality and effect of the adaptor are an improvement over the other adaptor. However, the manufacturer claims that auto focus won't be affected when this adaptor is installed. I found this not to be the case when I attached the adaptor to a 18-55mm lens on a Rebel t7. The image is badly out of focus when my camera indicates otherwise. So, I use the lens (with adaptor) in manual focus mode only. I'm still pleased enough with the results that I'm giving this 5 stars, but I thought it worth mentioning.
