does this bend the image like a fisheye affect?

Yes. It also can be used as a macro lens when you unscrew the fisheye portion.

Yes it does, however; having tried several brands on my internet security camera (to capture a wider field of vision) I have found that all brands diminish the picture quality. Some are blurry, others seem grainy to the point where they are useless.

If the poster is bent, I am sure it will leave a permanent crease in the picture which will damage it. So, yes, it will damage it.

I'm not sure.....my son used this for a project in a college photography class. I asked him, he thinks maybe it won't affect the pictures - but, he's not sure.

No, it does not. The screen protector is smooth and transparent. It doesnt affect the picture on the screen.

You will need to find the sweet spot for straight lines (by tilting) in your composition. Sounds like your Sigma worked the same way.Fisheyes are like that :)

Yes, one of the built-in "filter effects" is "feather" which can be applied to the edges of an inserted photo to create this result. Applying the effect to smaller images can leave them blurry overall, so it is not as precise a solution as feathering the edges of an image (before insertion) using an actual graphics editing program such as Photoshop or Serif's PhotoPlus -- but the capability is there nevertheless.

This lens has a fish eye perspective at all focal lengths, but it is most pronounced at the wider focal lengths (between 10 and 15mm). At 16/17mm, the fish eye is not particularly prominent and if you are not taking photos of architecture, you might not notice it as much. If there are a lot of straight lines in your photo, you will notice that they curve, at least a little bit, at all focal lengths.Hope that helps.

Hi Rameez, Fisheye and wide angle lenses can cause a bit of bluriness on the edges of photos as the lens "bends" the image. This is a natural effect of a wide angle/fisheye lens. While we do receive mostly positive reviews for these lenses, I understand it may not be for everyone. The important thing to note is that a very high quality lens can cost several times more than the value of this lens. We try to offer products at a low cost for photographers who want to get more out of their camera or try something new but aren't yet ready to pay the high costs associated with professional items. Also, we really hope that customers give our products a shot and that is why we offer a 90 Day Satisfaction Guarantee on all our products, so that they may try out the products for themselves and judge if it is up to their standards. Have a great day. Walter DIGITAL GOJA

HI,due to the angle of the lens if you don't use a thin filter it will vignette around the edges.

Yes, it's very noticeable one you open your photo up on a computer. I also noticed with my camera that it's also difficult for it to auto adjust and focus in on something. If you want sharp clean images I wouldn't recommend this, but if you don't mind and would like the fish eye feel then go for it.

I don't see that effect, but you should probably ask someone else. My eyes aren't perfect, and it might be something I don't notice. I can't say that I've ever seen that effect before. I've always had better-quality monitors, and I can say that I love this particular monitor very much. I would certainly buy it again and recommend it.

The picture does get lighter in color depending on the viewing angle. The screen can be adjusted some to meet your viewing angle. If you pretty much view it from the same angle most of the time it really doesn't present a problem.

Just beware of putting subjects on the edge of the frame when @ 17mm - 25mm. You are going to get horizontal distortion, not a ton but its not flattering to those on the side. No one would ever notice this on a landscape photo but when its a person... Pretty easy to fix in post if you have a decent software. Its a great lens though!

It's close Theresa..nearly 180 degrees across the image, it's pretty close to the 8mm fisheye . LOTS of compression and resulting distortion across the image due to the tiny sensor of the camera. Don't expect big things with it..it's still loads of fun to the enthusiest. the little tripod mount for the phone is the most useful part of this package..I recommend this kit

Yes, but you'll only be able to use it in DX mode. In FX, it will vignette at wide angle.

Yes, that is the way it works and the farther way from the center the upper and lower horizontal lines are bent toward the center of the lens. The verticals bend inward like all fisheyes. Mike

What's the good effect? Is there an advantage in the image or resolution improvement?
