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..

Fun lens. Worth the price.
I bought this lens to use on a first generation Canon 7D. It’s all manual, so I put the camera dial on M and adjust ISO where needed for lighting. Then I fiddle with the f-stop and shutter speed to get the exposure and depth of field desired. I find it helpful to put the metering in “spot” mode to get an exposure for the most important part of the image, then adjust f-stop or shutter speed up or down a bit to make sure that other interesting bits of the image are usable. I always under-expose a bit when in doubt since that’s easy to correct in post, but blown out highlights are never recoverable.Since the field of view is so wide, using exposure metering modes than the “spot” can result in a less than optimal exposure if something off center flaunts itself when using the other metering methods. Play with it and figure out which metering method works best for your kind of shots. For what I do, the spot metering works best for most shots. I purchased the lens mainly for night sky shots, so I went out to test it at night on the day I received it. The included images where shot in RAW and adjusted in Photoshop.Since the field of view is so wide, it is difficult to focus through the viewfinder. Everything is so small that unless your subject is just a couple feet in front of the lens, focusing through the viewfinder for general wide shots isn’t really practical. I won’t be doing much close up with this lens, so the focus assist and live mode combo works well for me. By putting the camera in Live Mode so you can see the image on the screen instead of the viewfinder, and then using the focus assist button to magnify the screen 10X, focusing is relatively easy to do. Not quick, but easy to accomplish.For the price, it’s a great lens and will do what I want to it to do.

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.

Perhaps a defective was sent
To my surprise, I took dozen of pictures in the same spot with different aperture and settings, no pictures were recorded. Just in case someone else also assumed this would do zoom in/out, it doesnât. Very disappointed.

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.
