i would love to get a proper macro lens but wont be able to get one for a while (i only just conned my husband into letting me get my 50mm 1.4 af-s). so would one of these be better than nothing? or are they useless? if anyone has one do you have any examples of pics taken with it on?
I don't any such attachment for my main camera (if they even make them for Nikon D800s) but I do have these for my iphone. They work surprisingly well and are very reasonably priced. http://photojojo.com/store/awesomeness/cell-phone-lenses/
I found it fun but not so useful. The vignetting is really strong. This is a similar one on my canon 18-55 kit lens.
This makes your camera wide angle, not macro. If you want macro, try a set of screw on macro filters. Cheap but good effects ( and your autofocus will still work).
I have a 10x close up filter which is ok. Used it mainly for flower shots to get extra close. Need to manual focus but thats cool. I found that it just makes you want that macro lens even more. No experience with fish eye though.
The only macro I've had is one of these quantarays with the little switch on it. But it is my fave for just leaving on the camera and using for most things! http://compare.ebay.com/like/150976133077?var=lv<yp=AllFixedPriceItemTypes&var=sbar
@melwolters I bought a very similar, very cheap, one from eBay and although it was ok-ish, I have barely used it since I bought a set of filters which include 4 separate macro ones too. I too found the vignette far too strong.
