 Works well for what it is. Very limited use.Oct 05, 2007
By eric melzer
This is a good learning tool. The 58mm thread size was perfect for my old kit lens, but now I've moved on and probably will not buy another lens with that thread size.
As far as quality goes, it is good considering the price. It takes a very steady hand to get super close up photos, and due to the way you focus (by moving closer or farther from the subject), you can't really use a tripod. I have taken a few pictures that turned out ok with this attachment, but for the most part, I think someone who wants to do a lot of macro work would be better served getting a dedicated macro lens. Depends on what you want to do and how much you want to spend, I suppose.
This piece also works as a 10x magnifier for pictures or slides or anything, so I guess it will still come in handy for that.
This lens comes with protective covers and some basic instructions.

 Opetka 10x 58mm HD Pro Macro Lens for Canon RebelDec 04, 2007
By Patricia E. Mackey

I absolutely love is 10x HD Macro lens...I have photographed many macro flowers and insects... and they came out fantastic..
Took a little getting used to the moving in and out to focus properly but it was worth the little effort you had to put into it..The image was so detailed you simply would not believe.....I would suggest using it with your smaller lens (ie. 18-55mm lens). I also own another macro/telephoto lens but I still can't the details as with the 10x HD lens.
I would recommemd this additonal lens to anyone who might be considering purchasing... have NO reservations... you won't be disapointed at all.

Very Good!!Jan 21, 2008

An awesome accessory to have, if you want to do a bit of macro...
A little hard initially when you want to learn focussing with this lens but as soon as u get a hang of it, this is a fun gadget.
I noticed that if you want to use it with ur 18-55 mm kit lens for canon xti, you cannot go below 24 mm else you get dark corners at very low focal lengths..
but in the ranges above 24 mm it creates awesome pictures..

A great and affordable starter macro lensFeb 10, 2007
By Jeffrey Johnston

This lens has served me well while learning about macro photography. It is compatible with many different cameras and lenses and can be sued with several different sized step up / step down rings that will enable it to be attached to most any filter thread size.

Good and inexpensive upgrade/optionSep 01, 2008
By C. Kocurek
Good glass, solidly constructed. Works very well for stationary subjects; requires M-Focus as well as camera location adjustment, so moving shots (i.e. insects) can be tricky. Expect to lean in VERY close to the subject.
I'm very pleased with this purchase, especially considering the price. Even if eventually replaced with a dedicated macro, this lens can always serve as a hand-held magnifying lens or smaller tag-along option. I currently use this with an EF 18-55 Canon kit lens.
