what does a fish eye lens do? Is it telephoto?

Fish Eye gives the picture a "round" look as if you are seeing things from a fish's perspective. If you google it, there many examples.

It's difficult to describe, it like makes the picture bubbly, you can email and I'll send you pictures I took with it! It's really cool I took it to a music festival and it's worth it. ymora2107@gmail.com

It comes with these rings that you stick on to your phone lens, well around the lens. So that the fisheye attaches itself magnetically.

The fisheye lens allows us to visualize about half of a medium size room (did it to view if triplet toddlers were sleeping or up moving around.) The size of the fisheye is about 1/2-3/4 inch.

My experience with a Fisheye add on on lens was very poor. I returned it. I have a different model Fuji the HS20 that also has a fixed lens. It seems the problem is that the computer in the camera is programed to the work with that lens and adding either the fisheye or doubler lens confused the computer. My images we soft and fuzzy, nothing like the clear crisp shots I'm used to getting. Bright colors were also negatively effected, they were dull and muddy. Ciao.

The two pieces are threaded together but the macro portion is threaded 58mm to fit your lens. Someone may make a reducer ring to make up for the difference. I cannot tell you what the thread size is on the fish eye portion, as I have not used without the macro portion attached.

Hello; This is an 8 diopter lens. A diopter changes the focus range of your lens. Diopters come in powers from +1 to +5 (that I've seen). They're also stackable: you can put a +4 diopter on top of another +4 diopter, and conveniently that gives you the effect of a +8 diopter. (Quality does suffer when you stack.) The higher the number, the more powerful the diopter. The more powerful the diopter, the closer you can focus. Specifically: divide 100 centimeters by the diopter power. That's the maximum focus distance of the diopter. A +5 diopter focuses at 20 centimeters or less. A +2 diopter focuses at 50 centimeters or less, so an 8 diopter lens would focus around 13 centimeters or less. Hope this helps. Remember, this lens works when you are in full telephoto.

I am sorry. I was talking about a Fish Eye lens. That is the only thing I have purchased from VicTsing. I didn't realize you were asking about a Remote Control. Opps! Guess I need to pay more attention to the picture. I just assumed . . .

I have never tried to mount my fish eye direct to my lens. The 2 pieces together give you the fisheye effect. The macro can be used alone....

This is a lens. I understand your question because I was confused too when I purchased this lens. The thing is it fits on the end of your 55 mm with an attachment ring that comes with it. Also, this lens takes beautiful photos. Yes it is a fish eye lens. It does not go on the body. Seems strange to attach to a lens, but it works beautifully. I hope I have helped to answer your question.

According to Wikipedia: A fisheye lens is an ultra wide-angle lens that produces strong visual distortion intended to create a wide panoramic or hemispherical image.'By that definition, this is not a Fish Eye Lens. Although you do get some distortion at the widest angle, it's nothing like I would expect from a lens designed for 'strong visual distortion'.

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

A fisheye lens will never give a "360" view, but it does work just like any fisheye lens by giving you a nice 180 view.

Yes, but you may be disappointed. The distortion of a fisheye lens is greatest around the edges of the image, but the smaller sensor used on most digital cameras (except "full frame" models such as the 5D) uses only the center of the image. If you want a good fisheye effect on a T3i, you'd be better off looking for a fisheye in the 8-10mm range rather than 15mm.

Yes it will, also you should realize its manual focus wich is verry easy and with the fisheye it can be focused on a subject 2 feet away and you can barely see that an object 10 feet away being out of focus also manual aperature.

As others have said, the answer is yes. While you do loose the wide angle effect, you are gaining the "fish eye". I've had a lot of fun with the fish eye lens. and would recommend it.

Sorry meant to hit NO. This lens has a very limited zoom length before it starts to blur and distort. A "fisheye" lens is meant for very very close up filming where or getting a very wide angle (similar to a panoramic. I think you will just want to find a wide angle lens.
