Can't be beat for it's price.
Got this as a gift for someone else but they didn't want it so i was happy to keep it for my EOS M. The lens is wide 180 degree corner to corner field of view is great and it is pretty sharp in the middle and it gets soft at the extreme edges. The gripe i have with this lens that i don't have with my Rokinon 12mm for my 5DsR is that the Rokinon lens infinity is at the end of the focus, right at the stop. With this lens however infinity on my copy is at 1m, if i go beyond that the whole image will be soft and out of focus so i have to look at the focus before taking a photo to make sure i have it set to infinity. I'm thinking of just taping it in place since i rarely take anything closer than one meter since i use this for landscape only and it produces, along with the APS-C sensor, a much nicer image than any phone i've used so far, S10, S22 Ultra, so i'm happy to lug it around especially compared to the 5D. It is a fixed aperture lens so it only has F5.6, can't be stopped down but that makes it pretty small, the aluminum construction is also pretty nice, i would be happy to pay double for this lens.

Better than expected.
Feels like a solid expensive quality lens. Sharp as a tack!

Incredible build, good bargain.
Solid, hearty build - the quality is very high for the price point. Smooth operation, fun to use. Color rendition is very nice, it has a pleasing feel, not too vintagey or yellowed at all. Image quality is great in the center - maybe 30-40% of the frame. I see descriptions of vignetting at the edges - I wouldn't call it that. It's downright blurry at the edges (not "soft"). So, know that going in. I didn't notice so much until I moved up to higher megapixel camera, or maybe I just didn't look closely. Still, at this price, it's worth it - but beware the edges. There are competitor lenses in the same budget with much better edge rendition, if that's important.That said, still glad I have it, not looking to unload it any time soon. May try one of the longer focal lengths, as the quality is totally worth it.

Almost Perfect Macro Lens!
I just got a refurbished Canon EOS m200 and attached this Brightin Star 60mm Macro Lens to it, I spent about half an hour in my backyard and took the attached photos with it. It is incredible value for the money, I would have rated this a PERFECT lens, though it has one major drawback. The lens I received did not have a front lens that would protect its internals from dust/sand. I've seen some YouTube reviews that included one, so I am bummed that this one didn't include it. I know I need to order one now, but I just don't know what it's called or what size I would need (this is my first camera!). Then this lens would be AMAZING! If you purchase this lens, make sure to buy that accessory and you'll be all set to take incredibly high-quality macro photos for a very reasonable price!Edit: I just ordered and received a Tiffen 62mm UV Protector Filter, it cost under $10 and fits this lens perfectly, it even has threads on both sides so you can still use your lens cap!

Impressive Lens, with some QC issues
This lens is well made. IQ is excellent for a cheap lens. As with any fisheye, there's significant vignetting around the edges, but that's a factor of the optics involved, not a flaw of this lens. Wide open, sharpness is a little soft, but stopped down a few steps, it's fairly crisp in the center, with a bit of softening on the edges. The coating gives a very warm cast to shots, which can be used creatively or comped out in editing.Aperture ring is unclicked, which I dislike. Video shooters will appreciate it. The focusing ring has a bit too much resistance, but it should smooth out with use. There's a small issue with the cap. It sits on the built in lens hood, and doesn't snap in at all. There's a ring of felt inside the cap that's supposed tp hold it in place with friction, but the cap comes off *very* easily. It's rattled off in my camera bag multiple times. I put some frog tape inside to provide better grip, but the hood rips it up quickly.Gotta say, this thing is built like a tank. All metal, and heavy. This lens weighs more than some of my full frame and aps-c lenses. Construction is excellent...with one major issue.The lens I recieved doesn't lock onto the body properly. The cutout for the stop pin on my M50, M, and M100 doesn't line up properly, so the lens starts to disengage when you turn the rings. I've almost dropped it right off the body several times. I'm not sure if this is a common occurrence, or I've just gotten a lens with a defect. I've started an exchange for a new one. I'll update after the replacement arrives. If it's present in all these lenses, this is a huge problem.Customer service is also nonexistent. I emailed the company before I started the amazon exchange over a week ago. Haven't heard back.UPDATE: I got the replacement soon after originally writing this review, and the defect was not present. Forgot to come back and update. I've been using it for almost a year now, and I really like it for what it is. Very well built. The action never did loosen up, but it's a minor gripe, and likely an intentional design choice as opposed to a defect. Even so, this is a great little piece of kit. You get a ton of lens for short money. If you're looking for a fisheye to play with on an M body, this is what you want.

Better than expected
Mounted on Fuji X-A3. For the money it functions fine. Caution, one of the body contacts was left in depressed position after removing causing a lens error after it was removed. Image quality good, with a little distortion around the edges.

Use with a specific purpose
Bought it for my Canon EOS M50. It works fine, but not for my purpose. I wanted it to take family photos, but it needs a great distance for that, which makes it hard to use indoors.

Mala calidad
El lente no tiene aro para manejar apertura, es un f5.6 fijo. El aro de enfoque es muy malo, pues la vuelta para poder enfocar es muy extensa y el enfoque infinito no es en donde esta marcado.
