I have just bought this lense but can I use the fish eye seperate from the Macro lense? if so, how does that attach to my 58mm regular lense?

Hi Lori! You have to use both lenses together, else they won't fit onto your 58mm lens.

You can use the macro section separately but not the fish eye with the 58mm. You could probably find an adapter, I'm not sure.

No.. the macro part is a positive diopter lense while the fisheye section is a negative diopter. Together it is like looking through a telescope backwards. The macro section can be used alone for close shots but there's a lot of distortion (not always bad) and can be fun artistically.

I has the same question when I bought it but to actually answer now that I own it, no you cannot. The two do come apart, but will only fit onto the 58mm lens with the macro lens attached. Hope this helps!

The two pieces are threaded together but the macro portion is threaded 58mm to fit your lens. Someone may make a reducer ring to make up for the difference. I cannot tell you what the thread size is on the fish eye portion, as I have not used without the macro portion attached.

No, they work together but the macro does work seperately. Using the macro with the fisheye does not mean you must be close to what your shooting. DO NOT SCREW IT ON TOO TIGHT

It comes with an adapter that replaces the original eye piece and the magnifier screws into the adapter. It is very helpful for macro but will also work very well for anything you feel requires manual focusing.

Correct.. the threads aren't the same. Anyway there's no point in doing that as the front (wide-angle) section is a negative diopter lens and will not allow focusing properly. If only the rear (macro) section is attached you will have a magnifying lens in front of your prime lens.

It is a lens attachment that goes on your lens, regardless of the camera. My Bower lens was a 46mm and I had to buy a separate, "46mm attachment to 52mm lens" adapter. Sometimes the adapter comes with. The lens is functional but bulky and heavy, but a real fisheye lens is really really expensive.

The macro lens and the wide angle come together. un screw the wide angle lense and you have just the macro. screw this into the case, then start taking picture from an inch away.

When I received mine, the outer rim/ring surrounding the fisheye lens was very loose. It doesn't come off, but I can move it around. Was anyone else's like that or is it just normal?

Hello, As far as we can tell there is no adapter available for this lens in order to shoot macro. Thank you for your interest, UsedPhotoPro

You have to have the macro filter connected to the wide angle for it to work. So it will still be able to attach to your lens with a 58mm diameter. That said, the front of the wide angle glass is a 62mm filter diameter. (Just measured it)

As others have said, the answer is yes. While you do loose the wide angle effect, you are gaining the "fish eye". I've had a lot of fun with the fish eye lens. and would recommend it.

Yes. It also can be used as a macro lens when you unscrew the fisheye portion.

You screw it onto your lens just like a filter. You then focus the same way you would without it. It allows you to focus in much closer than with just a non-macro lens. It works really well.

for wide-angle you simply attach/screw this new lens (both pieces combined) onto your stock lens. It gives a wider field of view in all directions, but you do get the dark corners which you'll probably end up cropping upon editing. The Macro Lens is for taking pictures of extreme close-ups, like a flower or insect. For that application you unscrew the Wide Angle component of this lens combo and just have the Macro part attached to your stock lens. Auto-focus works fine. I don't think you can use just the wide angle part of this new lens combo. It wouldn't attach to the stock lens unless you had some kind of male/male adapter, which is why I don't think you can use it alone. I might be wrong, but I haven't tried. Hope this helps.

I believe the wide-angle is attached (under) the fish-eye. I only used the lenses once. Its easier to grab my little Cybershot.

This particular lens is not threaded to receive filters and other lens. In fact this lens has to be attached to another lens by the threads on the back end of the fisheye lens or an adapter that would connect to your camera. If you could connect a macro lens at the back of the fisheye and then connect directly to the camera it might possibly work if you can get the coupled lens to focus, I feel this might be the thing that would prevent it from working. Keep in mind that the fisheye cannot be connected to a camera in the normal manner and only has threads on the rear of the lens which requires connecting to another lens or adapter that has the connection as your camera.

P. Hudson,I made it look confusing. I think the lense thread is 60mm. The adapter would be 60mm to 67mm to accept the 67mm filters. That's the best guess I can come up with.

It attaches to your existing lens. Check to be sure that your lens has 58 mm threads.

The lens and attachments screw into the front of the lens you are using. You need to spend time to see what works best. The lens are not 'real' macro lenses but dioptics. Macro lenses can be pricey and this kit makes it possible to take macro photos without having to purchase additional lenses. But you may have to operate the camera manually to get the best use out of the kit. That would be covered in your owner's manual. Additional info on using macro lenses can also be found on the internet or books from Amazon, kindle too.
