0.45x Wide angle lens review

[@thebuzzybeehive8803]

Thank you very much for this post! Sorry, I am late to the party!!! But, you did exactly what I would like to see out of other KZbinrs!!! You did an "in real time" showing how your lenses work. One thing that really irks me about KZbinrs, is they will show how to do something from another camera instead of placing it on the camera that they are using, then expecting us to just believe that what they are showing will or won't work based on their say so. I like seeing this in real time because I know for a fact that you haven't made any alterations to your set up, other than what you are talking about!!! Excellent vlog! I have subscribed and liked and you didn't even ask for it in your review!!!

[@hiphopsuperman]

Thank you! So sorry for the late reply, but I appreciate the kind words! We need more people like you on KZbin!

[@rascalhusky8129]

Very good educational video. I just bought one from value village Alberta Canada. It cost 13 Canadian dollars. Best video I have watched on this subject .

[@hiphopsuperman]

Thanks man! Yup, I had to take the plunge and buy these two adapters because there weren't many reviews on-line. Figured I would help anyone out there with questions.

[@tombic6373]

Best video on how to use these lenses that I have found.

[@IVANHOECHAPUT]

I looked everywhere for the lens called, "The First One", and couldn't find it anywhere. Then I searched for "The Second One", and couldn't find a manufacturer or any lens by those names either. So glad you changed the names to "The More Expensive Lens", and "The Cheaper Lens" So I could look these up. Update: I'm now looking for a lens called, "The Bigger One" and "The Smaller One" - wish me luck!

[@hiphopsuperman]

These are off brand lenses, made in China by many different manufacturers. Check out the links I included in the description of the video. Browse eBay until you see one that look like “the first one” and “the second one”. This video was made 8 years ago and the sellers I purchased from are long ago out of business. Good luck!

[@GuyFoxxx]

Yes, you can. They screw in into the lens' filter thread. just get the same size as your filters. If you don't know the size, you should be able to find it on the back of the lens cap (for example, 52mm, 72mm, etc).

[@GoldenPidgeon]

The 1st is slightly wider but you'd have to crop to remove the vignetting so it'd probably end up a smaller framed image in post. You can really see the chromatic aberration around the edge of the tv - dang! I wanted to get the 2nd 1 due to the lack of the vignetting. Do you have any other vids reviewing these (or other) 0.45x lenses, and any in 720 or 1080p ?

[@MaximumMadnessStixon]

I just ordered the cheaper kit (Wide, Macro, Telephoto lens adapter kit) for like $40, and from this video, it seems to be worth the price. Money is tight, and I don't have hundreds (even thousands) of dollars for buying individual lenses. Thanks for this review, it helped me out in making a decision.

[@JoshRafG]

when you installed the converter, were you setting your lens focal length on 18mm or 55mm?

[@hiphopsuperman]

18mm. Sorry for the late reply, but hopefully this can help someone else!

[@PatOutdoorify]

first review which actually shows what the difference is, thanks a lot!! You convinced me to order one (the widest one).

[@THISshowSUX]

Another thing to take into consideration is to be sure to remove the filter or lens protector even though they have threads on them that little space add will help reduce the vinager thingy.

[@deewells1965]

Interesting how many dealers do not offer specifications to know one from the other... Amazon, etc. What exact brand/model are these?

[@syafiq1581]

I have a question, what does 58mm 0.45x means? some have 0.75x and some even 0.8x..? i know 58mm is the size of diameter of screw/ mount at need to attach to the main lens. Thank you in advance..

[@hiphopsuperman]

The 0.45x, 0.75x and 0.8x are to advise how much these adapters change the lens onto which they are attached. Multiply your lens focal length by these numbers to show how they will affect your lens. In my video, I used an 18mm lens, multiply by 0.45 makes it an 8.1mm lens. (0.75x would be 13.5mm and 0.8x would be 14.4mm)

[@syafiq1581]

+hiphopsuperman thank u.. noted..

[@RubenLopez360]

You're totally right about the chromatic aberrations on the second adapter. They're perfectly visible in the border of the picture on the wall WOW!

[@LastNinjaBB6]

Great short review! A few questions though: 1.) How much do these weigh? (all my lenses have plastic frames, and even worse the thread for these attachments & filters are quite thin) 2.) When taking photos with these adapters you say its soft - How soft? Sharp enough for 2MP photos? 3MP? 8MP? 3.) How does it work outdoor? I want to capture nature landscape - Would it be possible or is this lens prone to foggyness, dull colors, flares, etc? I can live with CA's

[@joecal2360]

Great review, thank you very much!

[@missgreenbottles]

Wow thanks for your fantastic review. I've got a neewer brand lens with my fuji x10 camera which has quite bad shadowing. What's the name of the bigger lens you have?

[@Guillotines_For_Globalists]

That big lens looks fantastic. I have a very similar, generic wide angle lens like your small one. Looks identical! But that big one looks even better!

[@Halkography]

Hi there~!! I have an af -s nikkor 18-105 mm 1.35-5.6G ED lens do I need a converter to wide angle photography ?

[@bobsort]

The small one has wider angle. I think if you cut the corners in post, it will be almost same size of picture as expensive one. however important matter for me is, which one has smaller color degrade of pink and green?

[@tevilawson5892]

great video. what was the second lens? can you share the link? thanks

[@sese666]

awesome bro but can u tell me where to find that 2nd lens? or can u give me the link where to buy it?

[@FeuerwerkATZE]

Look at 3:17 what is happen to the dog? how fast is he DAMN!

[@amaarsh]

it is just a cut in the video whats make it fast

[@FeuerwerkATZE]

haha :D

[@afrosymphony8207]

+FeuerwerkATZE that scared the shit outta me too loool i was like where the fuck did that lil fucker come from????

[@microwar]

+FeuerwerkATZE I'ts a glitch in the Matrix.

[@excelsismayvillaruel9727]

Hi Sir. I though your video. Big Lens 58mm 0.43x and filter 82mm. Small lens 58mm 0.45x and filter 62mm. I am right? Or wrong? Please answer comment here. 😉

[@2315MARCO]

Yeah, I think going to a camera store that has these adapters would be a good advantage to know how it looks like and works before purchasing them online.

[@dahlgrenjr]

BTW, I went for the cheaper one, starving art student and all, lol. I love its wide angle functioning, but, I was unsure on the Macro side. You cleared up my questions in the first 10 seconds of the video. Great job on the review and thanks again!

[@juandediosmoralesnunez7945]

Hey buddy! What BRAND IS THE SECOND LENS YOU USE FOR THIS? Im looking forward to buy one of those!

[@MrGuilhermeFernandes]

I actually think the first is the best because it doesn't have any chromatic aberration, the second does have chromatic aberration and it actually crops a little bit more then the first.

[@pballerss]

Hey there! thanks for the review. Are you sure the front end is 82mm? can only find 62mm on ebay :s

[@DiegoPocovi]

Hi, can the second model be used without the macro in between?, just attaching it direct to the camera lens.? please let me know..thanks

[@stephanes.]

What if we use it combined with a metabones Speedbooster for BMPCC? Will it vignett?

[@D7NEWTON7]

thanks for uploading this video it makes me more confident to buy a cheap wide angle lens off ebay

[@hiphopsuperman]

Absolutely. The cheaper lens is better in that sense. Actually someone else left a comment about how there is no vignetting on the second lens simply because its just not as wide, and I think he is right.

[@sekharbalakrishnan1225]

i cant find the second lens in the given link. i think that is 72 mm. bt in many site it is longer available :( .. why ?

[@maxnook8633]

Yeah, definitely a lot of chromatic aberration with the more expensive one. Thanks for the review.

[@clonkex]

+Sam Nook I was thinking the same thing. I'm no camera expert by any stretch of the imagination and I still noticed it the instant he put the second lens on.

[@hiphopsuperman]

HAHA! I love that your the second person to call my chihuahua a cat! Cheers!

[@Josiphus96]

I have a quick question. I'm going to be filming a wildlife movie on my own. I won't be able to use my follow focus. Will a 0.45 wide angle lens give me focus? For instance, Devin Graham uses a wide angle lens in his shorts and the result is no need for a follow focus. His shots are always focused. Thanks!

[@portscapefilms3885]

what is solution of black border on top of the footage its look like vignette...and give me purchasing link for sony camera too

[@BemCorrido]

Do you guys know if is there a correction profile for this adapter (Photoshop)?

[@themadears]

iam using fullframe camera with a 50mm lens/.. if i add the 0.45x wide lens adapter.. how wide would it be?

[@hiphopsuperman]

Multiply 50 by 0.45= 22.5mm

[@Schn00ky]

Thanks, this was very informative! I'm actually waiting for the cheaper one in the post atm, but I think I will eventually buy the 2nd one you got.

[@hiphopsuperman]

Thanks! Did you read the description of the video? I suggest you just stick with the cheaper of the 2. :)

[@Schn00ky]

hiphopsuperman Lol yeah I probably should read ALL of the description, I see what you are getting at. I'll have a play around myself once it gets here, thanks again thou, much appreciated!

[@BadMouseProductions]

Do you know if this will work on a full-frame camera? I want to get one but I am worried it won't work on my camera

[@hiphopsuperman]

***** I don't think it will work on a full frame. Adding this adaptor is like an 8mm lens, which I believe is too wide. Sorry!

[@TexMex421]

+BadMouseProductions Regard these as toys that give you "interesting" results and you won't be disappointed. The results you get depend a great deal on the lens you attach them too. If you can't a ford a new good quality wide angle, consider an older used one. Make sure you get the right mount for your camera.

[@grimpolaman]

Hi! What is the brand of the more expensive converter? I wanna get one. Thanks!

[@steliosena]

Great review. Since there are many different adapters on ebay, maybe you could post a link to one similar to the bigger adapter (the second one without the vignette issue) ? Thanks in advance!

[@NGRAY1980]

The dog " please finish your review so I can have some peace & quiet"

[@JeffSpeers]

There is something to be said with why Canon charges +$400 for their add on wide adaptor. Canon's only goes to 0.7 wider on most of theirs.

[@maxjames5063]

Hi. I know this is a long shot since the video was years ago but can you tell me where you got the larger of the two lenes please? I have searched ebay but no luck. Thanks

[@shawnchampagne2092]

Edwin Sykes-James do t get the larger one. Read the description of the video. Thanks!!!

[@0anlui0]

Can you use the macro lens alone when you separate it? I wanted to shoot garden bugs and I wanted to get a macro lens along with the wide angle lens, but if the wide angle lens's macro attachment could work as well, I think I won't need getting a macro. I'm not sure. I hope you could help with this. :(

[@2315MARCO]

Is it me, or is the cheapest lens adapter with the widest view when its attached or did you change the zoom when putting expensive adapter?

[@FlipFlopsQ]

Great video and thanks for the follow-up. Purchasing now.

[@hiphopsuperman]

Great! Did you see the update in the video description? I actually recommend the cheaper one now.

[@TrustATinOwl]

So this won't work on any other lens than the kit lens for canon?

[@redguigui2]

Why is the cheaper more expensive than the normaly expensive one in the links ?

[@vaietehQ]

That was a really good review ! Thanks for that; I really considered about buying an actual wide-angle macro lens from Tamron for £305 roughly but this made me stop and re-consider, like you, £305 is a bit pricey for me :)

[@hiphopsuperman]

You're welcome. I assume it is because your JVC lens is so small, it is only using the centre portion of the wide angle lens adapter?

[@keithdawes2685]

Excellent, well made, and interesting review. Thanks for the really useful info.

[@areethe7]

are they Futin Wide Lens Adapter 0.45x?

[@okiucux6085]

hi dude, can u please let me know what name of first lens adapter which have larger body?

[@mz4972]

read the description of the video

[@timbalandhits8]

can you autofocus? whats the company that makes it?( the good one) do the make it for different size lenses?

[@samichaouiHD]

can you send me the direct link to the second lens please? ,and thanks for the video , its very helpful

[@hiphopsuperman]

Massa. But have you read the update in the description of the video?

[@HonestArttsEntertainment]

I notice that when you placed the lens on, it created a fish eye look. Is that because it's super wide or because it's an adapter lens? And can you explaon 0.45?

[@ultragalactica]

Hello. Can you please put a link for a normal website, ebay put it down. Which brands are those lenses. Do you know a good fisheye wide lens?

[@hiphopsuperman]

Do you know how a UV filter screws right to the front of your lens? This is how this lens attaches to the kit lens, no adapters needed. And yes, the cost on ebay includes worldwide shipping to most of the world (including the Netherlands). It ships from China, so expect 2 weeks shipping.

[@BADAB0ING]

hello, can you tell me the manufacturer of the second lens. i dont find one of these ones :) thank you and happy holidays

[@KetansaCreatesArt]

Man, you are one of the best reviewer in just one video attempt...but just one video? Did you start some other channel? or...is everything well brother?

[@Realgah]

The second seems to be better, what changes?

[@123-s6e]

will that work with a Panasonic Lumix G70 ? I have a 58mm Lens on it

[@FlaherFilms]

What is the specific name of the larger attachment lens that does not have the vignetting effect?

[@JunkyFruit]

what happens if you only use one part of the lens? you can divide it into 2 lenses and i was wondering if it also works to plug only one of them?

[@hiphopsuperman]

Great question! The smaller of the 2 parts is a macro lens so you can take pics/videos of very tiny object with lots of detail.

[@hiphopsuperman]

As you mention, this may be due to the nature of your lens. Im really unsure though. Mine does indeed get a bit blurry on the edges and I lose sharpness all over.

[@nuj427]

i am thinking of purchasing one my self. so if i have a 50mm f/1.2 lens, using this will give me a 22.5mm f/2.4 lens right?

[@patmos72]

Hi, Appreciate Your work. I bought similar lens with exact characteristics, but I'm not satisfied with the effect. Thinking of using it both in my Canon 450D and JVC video camera, I chose 58mm. On video camera I mounted two rings to fit 58mm lens. I feel like I've gained a centimeter difference between normal and wide if You know what I mean. In Your case the difference is huge. Any idea why it happens to me ? :(

[@commentbox123]

May I know in what kind or type of lens can I attach it? Thanks!

[@hiphopsuperman]

How bad is the blurring? Keep in mind anytime you put glass in front of more glass, you will lose sharpness.

[@danielpeprnik3888]

NIce review man, but could you send me/ us link or name for the second, more expensive lense? Thank you! Cheers

[@hiphopsuperman]

HAHA, I bestow upon you 100 Internet points for referring to my Chihuahua as a cat/dog!

[@dahlgrenjr]

Thanks, dude! You helped me out a ton. I really REALLY appreciate it.

[@Elbows-Deep]

chromatic abrasion on the second lens is painful and bright, really stand out round the picture on the left wall and tv on the right. i would rather the first one, much sharper and can sort dark corners easy. i might just have a go now i seen this, thank for the video, helpful info. *****

[@olessyacv2092]

The second wide angle lens is better, but is only for Canon?

[@hiphopsuperman]

+Olessya Camacho nope, it will fit on any lens that accepts a 58mm front uv filter lens.

[@hiphopsuperman]

+Olessya Camacho nope, it will fit on any lens that accepts a 58mm front uv filter lens.

[@hiphopsuperman]

+Olessya Camacho nope, it will fit on any lens that accepts a 58mm front uv filter lens.

[@markustolenitno]

Does anyone know what brand or model the larger one is?

[@mrwellington102]

Good video. I have a better understanding now. Thanks

[@heyitsnazninidris]

very nice. i was thinking of getting one soon for my dslr. plus I'm using 550d canon tooooo!! :)

[@ravialeti6413]

Can you help me to search second lens in eBay? I need it for 58mm thread. What is the brand for this 2nd lens in video?

[@hiphopsuperman]

Im not using a 77mm lens? The outer ring diameter of the kit lens is 58mm.

[@tokracro]

yeah.. can you give me the link for bigger one ?

[@pastafazoule]

greta vid can you tell me i have a sony a57 with a 35mm f1.8 prime lens if i put a wide angle adapter on it would it work would it be worth the difference in wideness what would that make the 35mm i figure with the crop about 25 is that right thank you paulie

[@extemos6476]

Thanks for the quick video very useful.

[@kinn11]

hmm honestly i prefer the cheaper one (IMO) cause chromattic abberation seems stronger on the expensive one, easier to deal with vingette ig

[@EshaKarim]

Great Video! Thank you! It's even cheaper now at 75SEK, just ordered from ebay :)

[@hiphopsuperman]

Enjoy!

[@LeonardoDiPeachey1]

when i screw mine on to my canon 550d, nothing happens, its as if there is no fisheye!?

[@denniscrespo5371]

Great and a helpful review! Can you please provide the specification of the 2nd lens converter (expensive) Thanks!

[@TheKaroaker]

Awesome . I'm buying one NOW :)

[@hiphopsuperman]

Huh? Are you asking which one I bought?

[@DesoloZantas]

AW WHAT!? second place....maaaaan *kicks a rock*

[@zeparmentano]

I appreciate your video! Very helpful!

[@itube612]

Well thank you for your review, it's very helpful. They both cause certain disortion of perspective, lower quality of the focus somehow and let noticeably less light in. But having a crop factor 1.6 makes me want to get this for the interior shots for simple reason, i can push myself beyond the rear wall just to get what I need into the viewfinder ;-) The vignetting can be cropped out and certain decrease in quality and clarity is tolerable as far as i GET all important into compositions. Thanks for sharing your experience. Make more videos, you're good at it and neat to listen to.

[@jrproductie]

\Hi did you use the 18-55 mm kitlens ?

[@desibro08]

Awesome video! Thanks!

[@josemariafn]

Have large front lens 58mm on back thread? When you show us both beside the large front lens looks bigger than other on back.
