Perfect for Fuji X or other Mirrorless w/prime
I was looking for a very snug portable case so I could put the 28mm pancake lens on my Fuji X-E1 and just toss it into my purse. Effectively turning it into a very very good ultra-portable. This fit the bill perfectly and I imagine it would work for most small mirrorless cameras and while I am using a pancake, there's definitely room for a lense up to a few inches in size.

Amazing camera lens kit
Best camera lens I have ever purchased! You will be amazed by how much detail you will get using the macro lens. Plus with the combination of the lenses, you will capture a better picture for any use you normally use your camera.

Great filter for the money
I bought this filter for my Tamron 17-28mm e-mount lens and love it. I haven't noticed any major color distortion and the sharpness doesn't seem to be affected at all either. The low profile seems to negate most vignetting you may encounter, but it does show up (unsurprisingly) if you stack this with another filter like a CPL. The gold ring is a nice touch too. I would absolutely buy these again as you get great results for the money.

Better than expected with APS-C DSLR
When I purchased this lens for my Canon Rebel xsi, I knew it would give me a cropped image equivalent to 27-64mm. I already have a 28-70 lens, that becomes about 44-115 on my Rebel. I wanted to get back the 28mm (semi-wide) view but did not want a lens that would not work on a full-frame camera as I expect to upgrade at some point. So I opted for this lens. What I didn't realize, or had forgotten, was that this lens has a close focus of 11 inches. Which means that even though on the wide end it is equivalent to 28mm, it still is capable of producing an image with a much wider perspective than a standard 28mm on a full-frame. The distortion of angles at the 17mm setting with objects up close is still significant enough to get some really unique shots. F/4 doesn't cause me any problems because when I'm indoors I just set ISO to automatic and it really doesn't impact my shooting at all. Outdoors, who needs f/2.8 with a wide angle anyway.I haven't seen any reviews that have mentioned how the close focus ability impacts the perception of wide angle. Anyway, I'm very pleased with the purchase. Only thing that could be better would be an all-metal body on the lens. It feels a bit less luxurious due to the plastic barrel.Just my 2 cents. **Also** Sounds crazy...but true...somehow my copy of this lens is close-focusing at 5 or 6 inches rather than 11. Not sure if this is normal on an APS-C camera or not, but I'm a little mystified as to how this is happening!

Great product for my needs
I bought this product to use in macro photography. I am using the Tamron 180mm lens with a 2x adapter. As such without a flash, it would be very difficult handheld. I found in the past that the small flash alone caused specular highlights on the insects, however, with this product attached to the flash the light source is that much bigger and the lighting is much smoother. I am sure there are better more expensive options but this works well for my needs and I am happy with the results.

Q
What is the diameter of tube leg?
A
Diameter of the tube leg is from 19mm to 28mm. 
Q
Can i use this on a canon d80 100 mm macro ef lens ? it says 67 mm on the lens cap but i don't see the exact answer. thank you
A
67mm should also be stenciled on the front edge of the lens somewhere. If so, then you should be good to go. It should be on the lens because a lens cap can be lost or broken. 
Q
What kind of aa batteries can be used? there are rechargeable nickel-zinc that are 1.6v but hold their charge longer. if not these, what's recommended
A
The camea can take 1.6v rechargeable batteries, but in general rechargeable battery might drop its voltage quick depend on its physical performance. In the cold weather, recommend using Energize lithium batteries to get longer lifetime. 
Q
Why camera indicated “lens is not properly installed”?
A

If your camera indicated "lens is not properly installed", please modify the camera menu settings. Usually called the "release the shutter the lens is not installed", you can modify the settings to allow. Specifically refer to the camera manual.Following are some examples:

  1. MFT(M4/3 mount camera)'Lens Not Found' - Warning Message Appears
    For Panasonic Lumix:
    The camera needs to be set to function without a MFT-Mount lens attached. You can do this by changing the following camera setting:
    'Menu' -> 'Custom Menu 5' -> 'Shoot W/O Lens' -> 'On'
    (Exact naming and location of this option may change depending on camera model)
  2. Fujifilm X mount camera, The camera needs to be set to function without a GFX-Mount lens attached. You can do this by changing the following camera setting:
    'MENU' -> 'SETUP' -> 'BUTTON/DIAL SETTING' -> 'SHOOT WITHOUT LENS' -> 'ON' (Exact naming and location of this option may change depending on camera model) Choose ON to enable the shutter release when no lens is attached.
  3. Sony E mount camera, 'No Lens Attached' - Warning Message Appears
    The camera needs to be set to function without a E-Mount lens attached. You can do this by changing the following camera setting:'Menu' -> 'Setup' -> 'Release w/o Lens' -> 'Enable'
    (Exact naming and location of this option may change depending on camera model)
  4. Nikon 1-Series mirrorless camera , 'Check lens. Pictures can only be taken when a lens is attached' - Warning Message Appears
    With a Nikon 1-Series camera (such as the J2), you will need to make sure the camera is in 'Manual' exposure or shooting mode and the focus selection is also set to manual. When in any other mode the camera tries to take control of the lens which is not possible as the adapter does not have any contact with the camera circuitry, so you get the lens check warning as the camera does not think there is a lens attached.
  5. 'EOS M mirrorless camera ,'No Lens Attached' - Warning Message Appears
    The camera needs to be set to function without a EF-M Mount lens attached. You can do this by changing the following camera setting:
    'Menu' -> 'Custom Menu' -> 'Custom Function 7' -> Select 'Release shutter w/o lens'
    (Exact naming and location of this option may change depending on camera model)
  6. Konica Minolta:
    For Konica Minolta and "No Lens Attached"
    Custom Menu 3
    First item "Shutter Lock"
    Set it to "Off: no lens"
    (Depending on camera model "Shutter Lock" May be in different menu location)
  7. 'Samsung NX 'No lens.' - Warning Message Appears
    The adapter is designed to trigger a sensor inside the camera body itself so no setting needs to be changed. If the error message is coming up with one of our adapters attached, then it is possible that the adapter is not hitting that sensor the way that it should. Usually rotating the adapter slightly in the mount, or un-mounting and remounting the adapter clears the problem with no further action needed. If that doesn't solve the problem, then the best course of action would be to swap out the adapter you have with a replacement.
 
Q
I have a Ann older canon fd 50mm 1.8 and a Sony a6000. Is this meant for that?
A
Yes the FD-NEX adapter is what you need. I also have a a6000 and a Canon FD 50mm , 28mm, and a 300mm and they all work well with this adapter.
