Will it fit onto a Canon XSi kit lens? Hi, I am planning to buy this lens, but as it works actually as a filter, meaning that it has to fit with my kit lens, I have a small problem. The thing is that I don't know what is the diameter of this opteka filter-lens, and does it have any adapters with it. Yes I have read the customer reviews, but I think the product specifications should indicate whether there are any adapters with it or what the diameter is. Thanks.

It depends on the lens you have. If it is the 18-55mm kit, then yes, it does work. It fits onto lenses that have 52mm or 58 mm filter threads.This lens consists of 2 parts - macro lens and fisheye lens. The fisheye lens ruins the picture quality and the macro lens has more or less the same effect that a reversing ring has. So it is up to you. Fortunately $30 is not a lot in the DSLR world, but bear in mind, you get what you pay for.

Yeah , I can now confirm it myself as well. The package includes the lens, 58mm to 52mm conversion ring, small bag and 2 covers for the both ends of the lens. I wonder why Amazon does not give accurate info in the technical details section.

Goodmorning. I have used this adapter on my SMC Takumar 50 mm f/1.4 on my Canon T3i with no problems. The lens only protrudes beyond the flange maybe an 1/8 of an inch. In fact it does not even protrude beyond the auto focusing contacts shelf (for lack of a better description). the Adapter is designed for the Modern Canon products. If you are using it on a camera that is older or one that does not have a Single lens Reflex (SLR) design this might be a problem. I would also take the adapter off to make sure the problem is not with the lens itself. It would be helpful to know what model/year Canon camera you are using to further understand the difficulty that you are experiencing. Goodmorning.

Dear Justin, This kit is compatible with all 58mm diameter camera's. Standard lenses for those cameras listed in the ad have 58mm filter size. If you are interested in purchasing the correct product for your camera, please verify the diameter of your lens. Your camera's lens thread size will be marked somewhere on the lens barrel or printed underneath your lens cap. This number is always preceded by a "" (diameter) symbol. For example: 58 = 58mm lens thread size.

Hi. The issue to keep in mind is the distance from the outer most Canon extender lens surface to the Bower telescope recessed lens in all the available lens extenders (lens magnification multipliers). In this case I have to advise not a good idea as they will not match up. I do use an extender multiplier lens adapter made by Kenko, C-AF 2X Teleplus Pro 300. I have used it with all my Canon lenses and the Bower lens you are asking about. Remember, you will also need an adapter ring to match the Bower lens to the Canon camera or extender. When ordering the Bower lens you will need to pay attention to which adapter ring is being offered as they list it with different adapter rings for sale on Amazon.com. Additionally, when looking at other than Canon lens extenders (2x) be careful with the issue of lens depth as you match one lens with an extender. The Kenko 2x lens extender does allow room for Canon lenses to fit. Hope this is helpful. If you have any other questions just use the same system to write. Without saying, putting a 2X extender on a 600 to 1300 mm lens will make it very difficult to focus on an image unless you have a really good tripod...heavy duty and expensive. One with adjusting gears will make life a lot more fun. Good Luck!!!

My understanding is that filters are pretty much universal in terms of thread. That said, if you look at the diameter referenced on the front of your lens - usually something like "49 or whatever followed by an o with a slash through it. - that should determine the size filter you should buy. Of course, the manual that came with your lens/camera is the final determiner.

I have an SX30IS, an older model and everything fits and works beautiful pn mine! I measured the diameter of my lense and it approximately 2". My suggestion to you is to do the same. If you sre in doubt, purchase it anyway! Amazon is wonderful with returns! Happy New Year!

I just received mine it is does NOT look the same as what's in the photo. It does work but the problem is the front of the filter is BIGGER than 52mm, my 52mm lens hood does not fit. Not sure what's the front filter size on the one I received, like I said it's not the one pictures so yours might be different.

Essam, This filter can fit any lens with the diameter of 77mm, "because it says B&W; 77mm".if you have 50mm lens for example you'll need B&W; 52mm and you can search in amazing typing "B&W; 52mm" you'll surely find it. This apply to all filters.i hope i was helpful.please ask me anything if you needed.have a nice day.

I'm not totally familiar with your particular camera (although it looks to be a beauty), but I did a bit of research and it appears you will need an "adapter" to fit the filter to the lens. There are two (2) sized adapters, 58mm and 67mm. The consensus seems to be the 58mm is the better choice. B/H photo stocks the adapter and I'm sure Amazon can also provide it. This filter is a "thin line" filter that given proper care will be with you for many years. I hope this answers your question.

This fits any lens with a filterthread of 58 mm. It has its good and bad points. Do NOT expect anything but low quality results. You might think that is enough for the low price...? You can se test pictures and read more about it at my blog http://more4u2c.wordpress.com/category/camera-stuff/wide-angle-add-on/. (I do hope that it is OK to ad a link like this? It is only to help you with as good info as possible!)

Is the mount for that lens a Contax/Yashica mount? If yes, then it should have no issues mounting onto that ring adapter and then onto any of those Canon bodies you listed. I did a quick search and a 28mm lens came up for it. You might want to read the reviews first. I recall someone else posting about a wide angle lens having issues.

When I bought this lens eleven or twelve years ago it came with different size adapter rings and it worked with my 58 and 52 mm film and digital lenses. It came with four different adapter rings. I noticed that people selling these lenses now say they work with specific cameras but this lens acts like a filter and screws on to existing lenses so as long as you have the right adapter ring the camera type should not matter unless they have changed some part of the design of the lens. I bought one of these lenses again last year when my old one broke and it worked just fine with several lenses. I am replacing the lens again because my home was robbed several months ago and my cameras and lenses were stolen.

thanks for all the informationJust so I understand I need to know what goes where.So I am guessing that the adapter is either in place all the time or when you want to use the lens hood?Also would be this way adapter/ lens cover for regular timesthen it would be adapter/ lense hood for those other shots when you want to use the lens hoodand guessing you would use the filter lens like this adapter/ filter lensesas far as the lens cap I am guessing the one I have that came with the camera will not work right?Also I have never used filter lenses so can you explain when I would use these etc. Are they on all the time ???Thanks inadvance for all of your help thanks for all the informationJust so I understand I need to know what goes where.So I am guessing that the adapter is either in place all the time or when you want to use the lens hood?Also would be this way adapter/ lens cover for regular timesthen it would be adapter/ lense hood for those other shots when you want to use the lens hoodand guessing you would use the filter lens like this adapter/ filter lensesas far as the lens cap I am guessing the one I have that came with the camera will not work right?Also I... » Read More thanks for all the informationJust so I understand I need to know what goes where.So I am guessing that the adapter is either in place all the time or when you want to use the lens hood?Also would be this way adapter/ lens cover for regular timesthen it would be adapter/ lense hood for those other shots when you want to use the lens hoodand guessing you would use the filter lens like this adapter/ filter lensesas far as the lens cap I am guessing the one I have that came with the camera will not work right?Also I have never used filter lenses so can you explain when I would use these etc. Are they on all the time ???Thanks inadvance for all of your help « Show Less

It doesn't fit onto the camera but on your lens. Use it similar to how you would use a filter. Make sure you put the appropriate adapter ring onto the front of your lens and then the FishEye 'converter' onto the adapter ring. So the order should be your camera, your lens that has a 58mm or 52mm filter ring size, the adapter ring / the FishEye 'converter'.

Hello - I bought this adapter thinking it would fit those lenses - and it didn't. I have both the 50mm f/1.8 and the 28 mm f/2.8 - both didn't fit b/c there's a metal stub at the bottom that does not allow it to mount on the adapter. The only lens I had that fit was the 75-150mm lens.I wouldn't buy it.

This is an auxiliary lens (58mm) that connects to another filter or lens mount. Check the size of the camera lens mount, on the camera or in printed specifications. I never use the lens beyond a trial as the optical quality was not what I expected or wanted.
