The Good
This product is exceptional for the price. Sturdy metal construction with solid glass. Both the telephoto and wide-angle attachments produce very good results. No, they will not produce the same quality results of a $400 lens, as well it shouldn’t.
The Bad
This product is as advertised but there are some things you should be aware of before buying. The majority of negative reviews of this product appear to be due to either grandiose expectations or a lack of knowledge. Yes, this lens can and will produce vignette issues and other distortions under certain conditions, but so will a $600 lens. It may also jam up and damage the thread on your camera if you forcefully screw it on sideways, but so will a $600 lens. And, finally, no it will not produce Ansel Adams’ quality landscapes… Unless you are Ansel.
Conclusion
For the price, however, it will provide good photographs for good photographers. This is a great items for a beginner or someone on a strict budget. You will get the effects but with limitations.
