Sir, I am interested in knowing a bit more about the super wide angle lens adapter from Altura. Can you please inform me about how much do we lose in terms of image sharpness and quality and about how much F stops does it alter? I have a 50 mm F/1.8 Nikkor lens and want to use this Altura wide angle + macro adapter. With that thing on I don't presume I can still get as low as F/1.8 . I can live with a total decrease of 1 F stop so that I can have F/2.8 equivalent. Again please enlighten me about how much sharpness and image quality do I lose using this?
Hi Mainakh, you will lose around 1 stop of light when using the lens, also you will lose a bit of the sharpness, mostly around the corners, the center of the photo should stay sharp.
Hello Mac Doodles. It really depends on what lens you will using this adapter with. For instance, If you attach the .43x to an 18-5mm lens (a standard kit lens for most crop sensor cameras), you will see the inside barrel when the lens is positioned at 18mm. This will change once you zoom in to the 24-35mm range.
@@DigitalGojaUSA Thanks for the information and swift reply! How would you say an adapter like this would affect low-light photography and videography? Would it let more or less light through?
You're welcome Mac Doodles. Typically when you adapt lenses to the front you lose a small amount of light. I would also recommend setting the AF point to the central area for focus.
I have purchased it for 18-140mm nikon lens. While using wide angle i see blurry black corners. While using 2.2x telephoto lens I see round circles. Is there any way to remove it.
Hi Amit! Try using the your main lens at a max focal length between 55mm - 70mm. Since at 140mm your lens is considered a telephoto and won't have any improvement with these lens extensions. Also make sure your lens is on Manual focus. ;)
+Mike Duran Hi! A good complement to your 0.35X will be a Canon EF 50MM lens that can be found at our store: digitalgoja.com/canon-ef-50mm-f-1-8-ii-lens-for-canon-eos-760d-750d-700d-650d-600d-550d-100d-1200d-1100d-cameras-accessories.html Just make sure that your 0.35X lens extension also has a 52mm thread to attach to the 50mm prime lens
I wished you had a picture to back up each lens so we can see the difference from lens to lens.

Como calculo en cuanto el 0.43x reduciria mi 35mm 1.8G? es que no se como se calcula eso. Saludos.
Hi Wally, with it you would something like a 20mm range.
I have purchased altura 0.43 x wide angle lens but when I zoom fisheye circle will come is this ok
Hi, the lens has a fisheye effect so it is normal.
With the 0.43 adapter, at the widest setting on the lens, will you see the inside of the barrel like with the .35 adapter?

Thanks for the video. Can the adapter lenses work on Nikon D1700? And what other cameras can you command?
Yes, you can use it on any camera that has a thread size. Just make sure you check your lens' thread size to make sure you get the right one.

what is the front thread of the lens?
Hi Fionnuala, the telephoto and wide angle lens have a front thread size of 82mm.
I used an opteka .35 fisheye and every shot I take is blurry no matter how I make adjustments
