I don’t buy anything from China under especially under this President because he is “fragile” and more dangerous than all dictators. This is easy, there are many good products which are mot all the time very expensive without being “made in China”. I don’t support dictature who bullies others, steals lands, Islands, seas, fishes, who tortures, rapes, kills, makes disappears many people, who pollutes, who does not respect any rules, WHO CREATES AND SPREADS COVID19.

I bought one some time ago and really like it. I tried using my M-mount Super-Angulon 21/3.4 before that and all I got was dark corners.

Well I made the plunge and brought one, After a week of shooting with it i can honestly say I am glad I did, Yes there are better lenses on the market but not at this price, the quality of the image is adequate, If you are going to use it in street photography and are a bit of a coward then this lens is not for you, as you need to get quite close, but the effects in street is amazing I have loved using it, and i will always have it in my bag. Would i recommend it? the answer has to be YES

I decided to go with the Olympus 15mm bodycap lens versus the Funleader. From the images I’ve seen online the Olympus gives better results, has three focus settings – close up, hyperfocal (for general use) and infinity. It also has a built in lens cap. And cost me $30 like new!
It just showed up yesterday and I’m playing with it now and really surprised as to how sharp it is in the center 3rd of the image. As this will be used for street photog grab shots where the subject matter and context is more important than ultimate quality, it really is very good!

I also ordered another plastic pancake from GIZMON Wtulens, which uses recycled lenses from Fuji single use cameras! This one also is in the M43 mount but with this lens the mount is removable leaving a L39 screw mount, which is adaptable to pretty much any camera. Results again look good online so this will be interesting.

In reply to eric. Sorry to hear you can't buy any modern cameras or lenses, or any mass market products for that matter.

In reply to Gareth Smith.

Dear Gareth, many thanks for the addition! The 15mm cap lens surely is a more practical alternative to the fish-eye.
All the best
