Has anybody had experience with Bower .42x professional high speed auto focus deluxe fisheye lens with macro. Very inexpensive on Amazon. Tried Google for info and instructions on using it but not much info available. Thanks to UHH for any help and instructions on use.

If it says professional, it usually isn't.
Now, for the price, it might be a fun accessory to play with!

Do they define what they mean by "macro"? If its close focus, almost any fisheye will do close focus, closer than some actural macro (1:1) lenses. I'd be surprised if they mean a 1:1 ratio...

When I was new to photography, I thought this would be a real bargain. The good news is that it was cheap. The bad news is that it wasn't worth using. They also sell tele converters that aren't much better. Same products with a variety of brand names.
On the other hand, it does say that it's a "professional" model. :D

Guess I need one then!
My Mamiya RB67 said ""Professional" on it.
The Fuji S5 is a "ProS" model.
Still, for only $20, it could be a lot of fun.
