  • Makes Taking Photos Fun
Size: For Canon
Update 06/25/2021: I have had the 8MM F/3.0 Altura Lens for a little over six months and decided to update my review. Among other things, I've learned that there are at least two ways to flatten the horizon: (1) Use the LCD monitor and move the camera low and straight until the horizon flattens. (2) Use software like Photoshop (expensive) or GIMP (free) to remove lens distortion. There are several good Youtube videos that walk you through the steps concerning the removal of lens distortion and changing the photograph's perspective, among other things. I have added two photos of the sunset over the ocean. One shows the distortion and the other shows the distortion removed using GIMP. I don't use this lens every time I go out, but it definitely adds a degree of fun and creativity when I do. I have added a few more photos after the sunset photos so you can see what I have done with this lens. Original Review: I have a Canon T7 camera with three interchangeable Canon lenses (regular, zoom, and portrait). I've been taking nice photos with this set-up and started looking for a wide-angle lens that would give me even more flexibility. Canon lenses are quite expensive, but in my search, I noticed the Altura fisheye lens for a more reasonable price. It fits nicely on the camera and is completely manual which the advertising says you might have to get used to. I watched a few Altura 3.0 YouTube videos to get an idea of what the lens was all about and then started shooting. You attach it just like any lens, set the camera to manual, and make settings for f-stop and distance on the lens (infinity is good for most things) and start shooting. After a few shots and realizing you can see clearly on the camera screen what the shot will look like before you click the shutter button) I was getting impressive results. All the photos you see here have NOT been edited in any way although you can adjust them if you like using Photoshop, GIMP, Lightroom, etc. The lens is made from metal and is durable as a result. Highly recommend this product. ... show more

  • Fun lens. Worth the price.
Size: For Canon
I bought this lens to use on a first generation Canon 7D. It's all manual, so I put the camera dial on M and adjust ISO where needed for lighting. Then I fiddle with the f-stop and shutter speed to get the exposure and depth of field desired. I find it helpful to put the metering in "spot" mode to get an exposure for the most important part of the image, then adjust f-stop or shutter speed up or down a bit to make sure that other interesting bits of the image are usable. I always under-expose a bit when in doubt since that's easy to correct in post, but blown out highlights are never recoverable. Since the field of view is so wide, using exposure metering modes than the "spot" can result in a less than optimal exposure if something off center flaunts itself when using the other metering methods. Play with it and figure out which metering method works best for your kind of shots. For what I do, the spot metering works best for most shots. I purchased the lens mainly for night sky shots, so I went out to test it at night on the day I received it. The included images where shot in RAW and adjusted in Photoshop. Since the field of view is so wide, it is difficult to focus through the viewfinder. Everything is so small that unless your subject is just a couple feet in front of the lens, focusing through the viewfinder for general wide shots isn't really practical. I won't be doing much close up with this lens, so the focus assist and live mode combo works well for me. By putting the camera in Live Mode so you can see the image on the screen instead of the viewfinder, and then using the focus assist button to magnify the screen 10X, focusing is relatively easy to do. Not quick, but easy to accomplish. For the price, it's a great lens and will do what I want to it to do. ... show more

  • Nice, Inexpensive, but inconsistent fit cross platforms
Size: For Nikon
I received my Altura 8mm Fisheye lens for my Nikons and found that the learning curve for use was about 5 minutes. The easy to understand videos for the lens had me shooting and enjoying the lens quickly. I found the lens to be a bit loose on my Nikon D3300. When mounted, it did not lock into place and, turning the bezels of the lens to the left tended to loosen the lens. It moved while mounted, (rattled) but once held steady was ok. It was easy, however to simply support the camera by holding the lens in place while using the on-lens bezels, so that it did not loosen up between shots. I tried this same lens on my Nikon D3500, and the looseness disappeared, and the lens locked into place like a lens should! Apparently, the mounting hole on the D3000 is a bit larger than that on the D3500. So, with a little care it is usable on both cameras, but you'll want to watch for loosening if used on a Nikon D3000. This is a MANUAL lens. No auto focus, no monitoring, so you have to set your camera to "M" and adjust your lens by hand. Set your ISO on the camera and your shutter speed too, take a couple of test shots and go for it! The reasonable price of this lens outweighs any minor inconvenience that the looseness on the D3300 presents. It comes with a n interesting zip-open lens case that is BIG, so you'll need to make room in your camera bag. All in all, it's a keeper and I'll be using it often. Edit! BONUS! The skies were blue and the sun was bright and in the photo. The lens presented with a natural, sharp sun flare that's a great accent point! ... show more
