Customer Review: Fits Canon PowerShot S5 well but...
I purchased the The Opteka .35x HD² Super Wide Angle Panoramic Macro Fisheye Lens for my Canon PowerShot S5 camera and would like to share my experience: Pros: (1) it is functional with the Canon PowerShot S5 camera. (2) its contruction is excellent: it has weight, and is made from metal. (3) package includes a sturdy case and a lens adaptor. Cons: (1) lens adaptor fits losely, due to the weight of the lens, there is a feeling lens will fall off. (2) unsharpness (especially edges of pictures). (3) focusing difficult and off especially when using the macro lens only; the super macro feature of the canon PowwerShot is better. Overall; not a great buy, hence the 3 stars.
