For the price and quality you cant beat it
A lot cheaper then the prized nikon fisheye with the same result
And the build quality is extremely high especially considering the low price
Images are as sharp as any other lens i have and the image quality is superb
Price
I rate it as 5 star simply because im fully satisfied with it especially the price
Shipping
First off shipping only cost 9 bucks and i got it two days earlier than expected
Competitiveness
I shoot a lot of timelapse videos and this lens has yielded some amazing results
It is well build and gives similar results than the nikon fisheye which is almost twice the price
Note i have 2 cameras a d300s and a d5100
