Customer Reviews

Fits Canon PowerShot S5 well but... 3
I purchased the The Opteka .35x HD² Super Wide Angle Panoramic Macro Fisheye Lens for my Canon PowerShot S5 camera and would like to share my experience:
Pros:
(1) it is functional with the Canon PowerShot S5 camera.
(2) its contruction is excellent: it has weight, and is made from metal.
(3) package includes a sturdy case and a lens adaptor.

Cons:
(1) lens adaptor fits losely, due to the weight of the lens, there is
a feeling lens will fall off.
(2) unsharpness (especially edges of pictures).
(3) focusing difficult and off especially when using the macro lens
only; the super macro feature of the canon PowwerShot is better.

Overall; not a great buy, hence the 3 stars.

Don't buy this item if...1
I have a Canon Powershot S5IS. I was excited about being able to extent my lense with an adaptor and bought this item. It doesn't work! The came is almost not able to focus by itself (I did it manually) and even though everytime the picture was taken I could see the 3 different primary colors floating around the object. (I forgot the name of this problem right now) Oh my! A waste of money, unfortunately!
