This is how I felt: This seems to have been a waste of money. I can’t get the camera to take a pix with it on (I have a Nikon D60). There are no instructions, I have tried every setting imaginable. Would the guy who said it worked just great mind telling the rest of us – HOW? It is screwed on, that isn’t the problem. My camera cannot focus with it on.

UNTIL – I found this discussion thread http://www.radiantvista.com/community/showthread.php?t=10313 It helped me get the right settings and now I can actually take pictures with the lens. Wish me luck

Opteka .35x HD² Super Wide Angle Panoramic Macro Fisheye lens

I have only used it a couple of times. Not sure if that would be enough for a good review. For the price it is an ok lens. If you are looking for a more professional lens you will pay much more.

I was not having a lot of expectation with this lenses, but was disappointed to learn that the purpose of my purchase was not satisfied because the lenses are not for nikon D80.

Total junk. Tried it on three Nikon lenses. None would focus nor give acceptable image.
