This one. Darren happened to come across it when he was putting in an order with Amazon. We had to pay $5 in duty, but still extremely cheap. It isn't a stand alone lens. It goes on the 18-55mm kit lens. It has a fish eye and macro part to it. It isn't great quality, but for about $40, I couldn't pass it up.
1. There is some distortion in the outer edges of the picture. 2. The lens cap is cheap and falls off. 3. Because it goes on another lens, I get a shadow when I use the flash.
The lens itself seems well built. I am quite impressed with it considering the price. The distortion and flash shadow may be more me not having a clue what I am doing.
yum! what lens did you get?
