Product Description

An essential tool for extreme sports and dramatic action shooters. The .43x Super Fisheye Adapter offers an extreme fisheye effect and a high degree of barrel distortion. It exaggerates depth by pulling nearby objects closer and causing distant objects to recede into the background. Advances in high-index / low-dispersion optical glasses, new barrel materials, and exotic anti-reflection coatings, along with the latest in computer-aided-design / computer-aided-manufacturing, are combined to produce lenses of unprecedented quality. Diamond-cut from crystal-clear, water-white optical glass, Opteka lenses are ground and polished to a precise precision. Because all Opteka lenses are designed and manufactured with the highest possible degree of consistency, you can swap lenses mid-shoot with no discernable variation in color or effect. The unprecedented purity, color saturation and repeatability of Opteka lenses virtually eliminate the need for lab color timing corrections caused by other lenses. This puts more creative control where it belongs - in your hands. Opteka lenses stand up to the most rigorous demands on the stage and on location. Opteka's hard anti-reflective (AR) coating offers protection specially formulated to resist flaking, peeling and scratching. This proprietary AR coating also reduces light loss and flare to less than 1% per surface, compared to untreated glass which has a light loss of 4% per surface. Opteka lenses allow you to shoot with total confidence!

Customer Reviews

Nice fisheye
Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/R3H8Q9XVC49ONL I use the Opteka .43x fisheye converter on a Sony DCR-HC62 camcorder. The lens has a 37mm thread size and came with a 37-30mm step-down ring to fit on my camera. It works just the way a fisheye converter should work. The video looks good, I have no complaints.

Exactly what you would expect, and then some
This was a great product to buy. Absolutely no complaints. This wide angle fish eye lens did exactly what it said it was supposed to do and I couldn't be happier. It came with a bag for the lens and a very warm hat with the "Opteka" name on it. So I guess I got more than what I paid for. I would recommend this product to anyone.

totally satisfied
I bought this lens as a birthday present for my brother... I wasn't too sure how it would go over but I figured for the price it wouldn't be too much of a loss if he decided it wasn't what he was looking for... turns out he was thrilled with it. It was a perfect fit for his Sony DCR SR45 camcorder... the "span" of the fisheye scope is excellent... it's a great, affordable "starter" lens for those up and coming do-it-yourself skateboard videos... it even comes with a little leather protective pouch.... and best of all was the price!
