Hallelujah! Such a deal! Dang, this cheap little thing is sharper than a bunch of fancy pants jobs that cost triple the cost or more. I picked this up used for a can of beans and it's one of the best buys I've ever encountered in the photo world. I'm no expert, that's for sure, and if my photos, right after clamping the thing into the camera, are right on the button, it says a lot. I've got no technique and with this thing I don't need any technique. If you're a beginner, snatch one of these up at a bargain basement price. If you're an experienced shutterbug, you already knew that.
Main lens is great- other stuff sent didn't fit The lens and adapter work well with my Canon EOS M50. The filters, wide angle, and telephoto lenses were not the correct size. A ring adapter was sent which was nice. But, I see artifacts and shadowing from the wide angle and the Telephoto lenses.
Good Value The lens is sharp, and very workable and super light. Probably the best value lens available at the price, however. I have a new Canon T6s and the lens is a little clunky mounting compared to the Canon kit lenses. Make sure you turn it all the way and feel it click. The clunkiness is in the turning, it doesn't turn easily and you can think it's mounted when it's not, at least on my camera.
