Customer Reviews

Not up to par, even at the toy camera level
I've found the image quality from this lens to be significantly lower than the stock Diana camera lens. The Super Wide Angle offers an attractive frame with a wide field, but short of a fisheye.
After shooting a decent number of rolls, in a variety of conditions, over the past 9 months, I've consistently experienced soft focus and poor exposure in the center of the image, while the periphery is sharper and better exposed- not what I'd expect from even a plastic lens at this focal length.
The effect is neither visually pleasing, nor salvageable, merely disappointing and costly, with processing and scanning of a few rolls of Pro 120 film costing more than the Diana & lens. I'll concede It's not out of the question the issue is specific to my lens and I will check in to that, but I'm pretty disappointed with 11 out of 12 images shot with the 38; whereas, the stock lens was generating 4-5 out of 12 appealing images per roll.
The fun of toy cameras is the happy accidents. With the 38mm Super Wide, they're like unfortunate accidents.

As usual, construction is fragile at best, though not as likely to immediately lose it's outer ring.

my 2+ cents.
