Lens Attachments

[Habitual]

So, I've come across a website that sell Lens attachments.

And although I've not been doing photography for long, I can't say I've noticed anyone using these. Is there a reason why?

They look awesome to me and that fisheye lens attachment is a darn sight cheaper than an actual fisheye lens for my 600D.

But I am a firm believer in "you get what you pay for".

What are peoples thoughts on this?

Exactly this.

I have a cheap wide angle attachment, the images come out really really soft, lots of vignetting and just poor quality in general.
Save up for one or the other and get it right first time.

Why would you buy a 10-20 lense for £400+ if £5 & eBay did the job ?

Cheers guys... I'm really tempted by the fish-eye one. I don't think I can warrant £4-500 for a lens I wont use loads...

Don't do it. You can PhotoShop in distortion which will no doubt look 10x better than the fisheye adaptor.

Buy a 10-20 !

These lens attachments are usually shite

They add more glass inbetween the world and the sensor so you lose crispness. It's also very cheap glass too

Dont! You may as well just put a lighter to a crisp £50 note! Save up and get a 10-20 like TEG says!
