i dunno what make it is mate, some unbranded company, i can tell you what it says around.......

.38 xxx AF lens with macro screw attatched filter made in japan

as for cannon fit.........

they don't fit the camera, they fit the thread size, i believe cannon is a 58mm thread size but the lens is a 52mm thread, but i have an adapter ring i will throw in with it which will make it fit. All it doesn't have is a lens cap don't know where it went lol, but it's in mint condition, as you may know i'm a photographer so everything is kept safe and sound so optics on it are as perfect as when i bought it.

i've also got a little pouch that keeps it safe in you can have, and as i mentioned above it has a macro filter, so you screw that off, and it will allow your camera lens to focus macro around 4cm or something from whatever you want. I also vaguely remember the guy who sold it me claiming it was HD compatible glass, ie. multicoated, but i have no proof of this whatsoever :\

they're around £50 delivered on the bay, and i paid a lot more for this one when i got it, so maybe £40 recorded delivery.

i know a few people who have some cheap ones off ebay, they produce shots like those above and are really good for the price (around £35-£45 i think), however i havent seen a proper fish eye lens before so i wouldnt know what to expect etc. but im sure they are in their hundreds of ££
for the price id recomend the ebay ones, and if your really pleased and want a mint one, then go for a proper cannon one or something

theres no point in buying a proper one unless your doing proffesional photography and would use it seriously.

im looking at saving up for one in the next few years.........

Suppose they make the picture look more rounder, looks okay if it's not too much.

its debatable.

i've done pics with full on fish eyes, as in, a photo within a fully black circle, looked nice.

no. it depends what you want the photo to look like/style of photo.

could take a photo of anything with a fish eye if it was the look your going for
