equal to $2000 Nikons ? No, but, as a nice, amatuer alternative, its fun and plenty good
been into photography 50+ yrs… ive had all kinds of lenses.. never could afford ” top of the line” Maker brands,, be it Minolta, Canon, or Nikon. ok, ive had some of the “standard” lenses, Minolta 50mm 1.8, Nikon 18-140mm ( currently for my Nikon 7500D ), etc.mostly i get Tamron, Tokina, Sigma.. never had an issue.this is a ‘Unique” lens, and not one i would use often as it is, so i didnt want to break my bank.it shoots very nicely, feels solid, not sloppy.. might come in to play after some extensive use, but, i dont see this seeing massive use anyway..its a fun, abstract photo taking lens for very little money.should you drop it a year or 3 later ?? ok,, you wont cry you have to sell a kidney to replace it..easy to recommend if you want a very unique photo taking lens for some abstract shots..

Makes Taking Photos Fun
Update 06/25/2021: I have had the 8MM F/3.0 Altura Lens for a little over six months and decided to update my review. Among other things, I’ve learned that there are at least two ways to flatten the horizon: (1) Use the LCD monitor and move the camera low and straight until the horizon flattens. (2) Use software like Photoshop (expensive) or GIMP (free) to remove lens distortion. There are several good Youtube videos that walk you through the steps concerning the removal of lens distortion and changing the photograph’s perspective, among other things. I have added two photos of the sunset over the ocean. One shows the distortion and the other shows the distortion removed using GIMP. I don’t use this lens every time I go out, but it definitely adds a degree of fun and creativity when I do. I have added a few more photos after the sunset photos so you can see what I have done with this lens.Original Review: I have a Canon T7 camera with three interchangeable Canon lenses (regular, zoom, and portrait). I’ve been taking nice photos with this set-up and started looking for a wide-angle lens that would give me even more flexibility. Canon lenses are quite expensive, but in my search, I noticed the Altura fisheye lens for a more reasonable price. It fits nicely on the camera and is completely manual which the advertising says you might have to get used to. I watched a few Altura 3.0 YouTube videos to get an idea of what the lens was all about and then started shooting. You attach it just like any lens, set the camera to manual, and make settings for f-stop and distance on the lens (infinity is good for most things) and start shooting. After a few shots and realizing you can see clearly on the camera screen what the shot will look like before you click the shutter button) I was getting impressive results. All the photos you see here have NOT been edited in any way although you can adjust them if you like using Photoshop, GIMP, Lightroom, etc. The lens is made from metal and is durable as a result. Highly recommend this product.

Nice, Inexpensive, but inconsistent fit cross platforms
I received my Altura 8mm Fisheye lens for my Nikons and found that the learning curve for use was about 5 minutes. The easy to understand videos for the lens had me shooting and enjoying the lens quickly.I found the lens to be a bit loose on my Nikon D3300. When mounted, it did not lock into place and, turning the bezels of the lens to the left tended to loosen the lens. It moved while mounted, (rattled) but once held steady was ok. It was easy, however to simply support the camera by holding the lens in place while using the on-lens bezels, so that it did not loosen up between shots.I tried this same lens on my Nikon D3500, and the looseness disappeared, and the lens locked into place like a lens should! Apparently, the mounting hole on the D3000 is a bit larger than that on the D3500. So, with a little care it is usable on both cameras, but you’ll want to watch for loosening if used on a Nikon D3000.This is a MANUAL lens. No auto focus, no monitoring, so you have to set your camera to “M” and adjust your lens by hand. Set your ISO on the camera and your shutter speed too, take a couple of test shots and go for it!The reasonable price of this lens outweighs any minor inconvenience that the looseness on the D3300 presents. It comes with a n interesting zip-open lens case that is BIG, so you’ll need to make room in your camera bag. All in all, it’s a keeper and I’ll be using it often.Edit! BONUS! The skies were blue and the sun was bright and in the photo. The lens presented with a natural, sharp sun flare that’s a great accent point!

nice lens well built
Manual focus and aperture, but they all seem to work well. (its not as difficult as I thought it would be) I had questions and the dealer called me at home personally to help with any questions I had. This is a very fisheye lens, and works the way I thought it would, but allows for idiots like me to make it work well somehow with every shot.(excluding the one I under exposed) he gave me an exercise to focus on live view at 2 ft away, then on to infinity and check them out on download. Surprisingly, the DOF is SO VAST, that it focused well on all of them. This lens is going to be fun with creating artistic shots, and landscapes that are so beautiful that you have to get it all in one picture to get the effect. The amt of (for lack of a better word) fisheye effect is going to be fun and creative, what else can I say. It comes with a nice fitted case. I will try to add some photos later when I have more time. For the price, the manual isn’t that big of a deal, esp with digital photography, if it looks bad, erase it and do it over, right? I highly recommend this lens for a fun way to get a good quality wide angle fish eye lens at a very low price point.

I haven’t had too many chances to use the lens, but I took it on my recent camping trip for some astrophotography and loved the images I could get of the stars. The focusing isn’t the easiest, so it takes some getting used to, but overall I’m pretty happy with this lens for the price.
