    Overview

    The Opteka 6.5mm f/3.5 Fish-Eye CS is an ultra-wide fisheye lens offering a unique perspective at a low cost, suitable for dabblers in fisheye photography. Its primary weakness is build quality: the lens hood can be installed incorrectly just as easily as correctly, causing black bars in images. Optical strengths are not highlighted in the excerpts, but the lens is noted as a low-cost alternative to major brands. It suits photographers wanting to experiment with fisheye without a large investment, but users must be careful with assembly.
