One of those things you screw onto the end of a lens 52mm diameter ring comes with it, so it will fit a 28-55 kit lens. Pretty disappointed with it Rating: - amazing for the price I bought this for my Canon Rebel XTi. I usually use it on the 18-55 lens, and it works beautifully!! And the price can't be beat! The only thing is that it makes the lens so long that it gets in the way of the flash that comes with the XTi - if I need to use flash I have to use a mounted flash. Other than that, I've had a blast using this lens. Rating: - Best Dollar for Dollar Very Simple to use Great Dollar for Dollar compared to more expensive Full fisheye lenses Rating: - Wide angle only a little better The Opteka provides only a minor increase in the angle width and no "fisheye" effect. Rating: - Not quite worth its cheap price I thought it would be fun to try a fish-eye lens (or a semi-fisheye). This sort of works OK, but the optics and image quality is very poor - quite fuzzy and unfocused. It's ok for small scaled (resized) down images. Here is an example: Note that, on my Canon 40D, the image is not fully round; part of it gets clipped at the bottom. This lens comes with an adapter for the standard 52mm lens; it will not work with the Canon EF 28-135mm f/3.5-5.6 Zoom Lens (72mm) that comes with the Canon 40D, for example.
