Shady seller, they won't stop spamming me!
For $12 it's decent. It does work, but the lenses are poor quality. The macro lens by itself has an extremely shallow depth of field which makes it tricky to get your subject in focus. The large wide angle lens does work a little better, but there's still quite a bit of barrel distortion and the corners of the image are very soft. I haven't found a use for the fisheye, there's too much vignetting to produce a usable image.
The clip is made of plastic and the threads are very fragile. I had a hard time threading the lenses on the clip without cross threading them. This is more of a problem with the wide angle lens than the macro lens for some reason. Once threaded on the macro lens is nearly impossible to remove.
Update:
The seller emailed me asking what they could do for a better review. I don't appreciate this increasingly common practice. Buyer feedback is extremely valuable to other buyers on Amazon, not just sellers. I believe I wrote an honest review of the product that I received. I don't dislike the product, but it's not worthy of 5 stars.
Amir: If you want a 5 star review from me you should improve the way the lens mounts to the clip. A twist lock similar to how SLR lenses work would be so much nicer. Also, the included bag is fine, but it doesn't stay closed. After a day or two of rolling around in my backpack the lenses have all fallen out of the bag. One more thing, when I try to remove my fish eye lens from the macro lens I end up taking the fish eye lens itself apart, getting the lenses dirty. I then I have remove the bottom of the fish eye from the macro lens and reassemble the fish eye.
Want a better review? Hire some better engineers.
Update #2:
Dropping to 2 stars after using the product some more and receiving 10 separate emails about this review, all clearly generated by a script. Stop spamming me Amir! Did you even read what I wrote?
Update #3:
This is getting ridiculous. I'm up to 15 spam emails from this company asking me to improve this review. I have reported them to Amazon. Please stop spamming me! Dropping my rating to 1 star.
