DSLR Lense

I want to purchase a Macro Lense for my Olympus E-500. Although I can't afford the $500 lense at the moment, I saw this one on Ebay and was intrigued. At $50, it looks like a decent deal for the time being. Anyone have any experience with these?

you dont want a fisheye lens IMHO. check out the sigma 105. good lens for the money.

the Sigma macro is $340. This lense is only $33. I want the Sigma, but just can fork out that kind of cash right now.

This is NOT a normal "macro" lens. You should google "fisheye lens pictures" and see what comes up. The pictures are really out of focus around the edge of the picture...this is considered more of a specialty lens than anything

That's not a lens it's a diopter that screws on the front of your lens.

Save your money.
