## Description

desertcart.com : Altura Photo 8mm f/3.0 Fisheye Wide Angle Lens for Canon EOS, EF Mount | Aspherical Design for Canon Rebel T7, T6, T100, SL2, SL3, 90D, 80D : Electronics

Review: 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.
Review: Good for the price. - I am only an amateur at best especially when it comes to very wide angle. Have spent a bit of time experimenting and this seems to be working as expected. A bit of a learning curve but that is on me not the lens. Would recommend as a great learning and experimenting lens.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: does it interact with the camera metering system at all?**
A: It's completely manual. I usually set the focus on infinity, which is 6 feet+ anyway. fStop is set on the lens barrel, then adjust shutter speed manually on camera for best exposure. It's old school but I like it. Takes great pictures.

**Q: Is this a crop sensor lens like the canon ef-s or a full frame lens like the canon ef lens**
A: This is made for Cropped sensor dslr's

**Q: Does this work for the Nikon D750?**
A: Since it is made for DX and your camera is FX, the lens will work, but the image will be in a full circle, if that makes any sense.

**Q: Will this take good quality, wide photos of the interior bedrooms and living rooms inside a house?**
A: Yes it will. Some post-production with software like Lightroom or the standard Photos-Program that comes with a Mac will help you to accentuate the contrasts and colours to optimize your wideandle indoor shots. Have fun

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good but slightly awkward to adjust
*by J***A on March 27, 2026*

For the price it is easy to use and the photos come out pretty decent although, the only issue I have is knowing how to properly focus the image. No matter how many times I move the focus ring or how close/far away I get the image is still the same. It is a hassle as it is a manual lens but after a few tries I was able to see the difference in some pictures that I took in different focus settings. I like that the lens came in with its own protection not just the cap but also the case. It is a good way of ensuring your lens stays safe. In general, it is not too big to store or makes the camera feel heavy when it is installed. Overall, I do recommend this lens for those who would like to use a fish eye lens but beware of the test shots you'll have to do in order to get a hang of it.
