Is it for a wide-angle lens?

Mine is an earlier metal hood with a 46mm thread purchased in 2011- I don't know if Fotodiox have changed specs on newer hoods. I only use it on 2 micro four-thirds lenses- an Olympus 17mm f1.8 lens with a 46mm UV filter and a Panasonic Lumix 20mm. The Olympus lens is near a 35mm semi wide angle lens in 35mm film terms. There is no vignetting with either lens at any aperture setting or focus distance with a filter attached to the lenses. I don't have any m 4/3 lenses with a 46mm filter size to check for vignetting wider than this. If you are considering using this for a 35mm film camera, e.g. Leica M series, you would probably need to first test it with M mount 35 and 28mm lenses.

I bought it to be used in my Pana 25mm 1.4 (50mm equiv.) on my GH3. Does its shade work very well, but more important, it looks very stylish and I do not use a lens cap any more since it is such a great metal fense.

The only wide angle lens I tested it with was the Olympus 12mm. It was not suitable for that lens.

There is an adapter. Wide angle lens should connect with camera body directly. But this lens is weird, it must connect with another lends rather than the camera body.BTW, this lens does not fit a 58 mm UV filter, a little troublesome.

This is not a wide angle lens. It is very close to natural view. If you are looking for wide angle look towards 20mm or wider.

if you look at the descrition of the camaera, you will see that it has a wide-angle lens by definition.i am dooing great shots using it - indoors and outdoors. regards, karl

No it is not. Yet it is the ultra widest lens on the market as faras I know. Excellent piece of glass for the price.

Easily, If you try to screw your lens cap into the lens without pinching the sides, you will run along a thread in the lens. The wide angle works the same way, it follows a thread on the lens.

No, you would have to look else for wide lens. This one is perfect but more for portrait, details and lifestyle.

You can use your lens aperture, but remember that you will not get the same wide angle view with this adapter.

yes, but ... you need an 72mm wide angle, otherwise you get a black circle, since the lens is smaller than the one you need.

No. You can unscrew the lens marked "macro" from the wide angle lens and screw it onto your main lens. You can get pretty close up with it. However, you cannot use the wideangle lens by itself. You need to screw the macro lens onto your main lens and the wideangle lens onto the macro lens. Be sure to zoom out your main lens.

Yes, it does. In fact I'm selling mine but ONLY because I'm moving to a full frame sensor. It's unfortunate b/c there's really not a sharper wide angle lens than this one. I'll miss it for sure!

Not really,not for this lens. It lets in a good bit of light and shoots a pretty wide shot,so it isn't something you would use like a telephoto lens. I've not had any times with it where I wished I had it.

Yes this is a wide angle scope. Very nice scope for the price, I have four of them no problems.

I've always considered lenses of less than 35 mm "wide-angle". It's a matter of degree, but I would consider 28mm a wide angle lens. Since around 50mm is "standard" focal length, it is quite a bit wider than that.

This is not a telephoto - nor wide angle lens - just a regular camera. If your aiming at something far away, it'll be small - but that's what your zoom is for on the software you're using to view your jpegs or videos.

no it doesn't, because of the wide lens, it needs to incorporate the entire focus on the subject that you are shooting. for the money I think it works to the best of it's ability.

Yes, You can replace the standard lens with the wide angle. It is necessary to split the case, remove the camera from the board ,loosen the set screw and unscrew the lens.
