Do you keep the the wide angle lens, and the macro lens, together when using for either function?

No, they come apart but one turns clockwise and one counter clockwise to separate. Hope that helps.

Yes I received mine a week ago and the lens crashes into the filter; not just in macro but any time the camera struggles to focus. Reading online apparently the lens can protrude a little when focusing causing the crash. I think I got a lemon so the adapter ring is going back.Update: nevermind I'm just a dumbass. I had accidentally assembled it in the wrong order. All is good and focus works fine. Since it is possible to put together backwards it makes me wonder how many of the focus reports are just user error.

Yes, it does. Though, nothing beats a true Macro lense, like the SAL35F18 (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0042GHI8U/), which is my next purchase. Or the SAL50F18, if you want to save some change and don't need to be up close with your subjects. (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0029U0X24/)

No. If you have the 100mm macro you will need an adaptor. For the record, I love the 1-5X lens and this Twin Light.

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.

Yes, I would think it's the main reason to have this lens. Some say the lens gets too close to the subject when used for macro work, I have not found that to be a problem. I find the lens very useful especially all around, but would probably not own it if not for its macro capability.

all you have to do is screw the attachment in front of your 18-55 lens, if you are using the macro lens screw out the wide angle part, if you using the wide angle then screw out the macro piece, they come apart

I have never tried to mount my fish eye direct to my lens. The 2 pieces together give you the fisheye effect. The macro can be used alone....

Yes the ring this comes with allows you to attached the wide angle lens to just about any lens I've used it on three different lenses just by putting on the right sized ring adaptor hope this helps

Yes. I have that lens and it works great. It actually a little easier to use the macro kit with this lens for focusing since the lens is a zoom.

I have no problems keeping both of the lenses in the bag. I also keep an extra battery and a few other accessories in it at the same time.

The threads on the lens prevent total freedom there. I think the macro lens is the smaller diameter one near the base and the wide angle lens is the one with the larger diameter. It is the macro lens that screws into your main lens so you can in principle use it alone. You cannot use the wide angle lens alone with your main lens because it has only female threading. You can flip the macro lens around because it has male-male threading. I use both together and the effect is different depending on which side of the macro lens is facing toward your main lens.

Not absolute sure, it seems to me that you can remove the lens from the adapter if necesary, but it will be worth trying, since macro lenses for new cameras are so expensive, the bad part of the deal is that all the wonderful new technology (Stabilizer ) of Canon is on the new lenses but not in the camera itself, so with an old lenses you lose half of the new technology

If you attempt this your image will suffer from distortion and the image quality will be reduced. Its a good add on to the kit lens to practice macro work, but its advised that you use manual focus when doing so.

Yes. The lens can be removed and interchanged with lenses of different focal strengths.

This additional lens attachment goes on, and is used in conjunction with the pancake lens for additional wide shot capability. So in plain English, this makes your wide angle lens wider.

I also have not seen this reference in any printed material. All true macros should have this. I have been satisfied with the image quality. My only problem is on auto focus. If the focus has to search and cannot lock focus it falls back to infinity focus even if the close limit is chosen. Otherwise it is a fine lens.
