Cheap wide angle lens, have you tried this thing? Neewer 58mm 0.43x HD Wide Ang

3 years 9 months ago #691667 by Jakov Barnes
I was looking for a new wide angle lens on Amazon and came across this Neewer 58mm 0.43x HD Wide Angle lens.  Basically is screws on your existing lens like a filter would and converts that to a wide angle lens.  Have you tried this?  How are the edges or image quality?  Any wacky stuff going on?   I tempted to just try this seeing that it's only $39 bucks.  But the price has me wondering if this is just junk?

Pretty much junk in my view.  It will remove all that fine image quality designed into your regular lens.  But there are people who use pinhole cameras which have even less image quality.  It's your money.

i'd pass on this.  you're going to get what you pay for.

depending on what you're trying to do with a wide angle lens for you may be able to find an alternative using what you already have until you're ready to buy something decent.  if you're shooting landscapes try shooting several shots and combining them like a panorama to get a wider view.

Over the years I have tested many similar lenses ... the images are not with this exact lens - but something very similar and the same sort of price

Hope this helps
