Hey, I bought this lens a few weeks ago, and the recent 70-300MM lens I bought came with the exact same thing, so Im selling one. It was purchased on Ebay and isn’t a real Nikon nikkor lens, but its sturdy and works well, it didn’t really matter I dont really shoot macro anyway, works good though, and it alos comes with an adapter ring for a bigger lens, so it may work on other lenses as well (I’ll have to try on my 55-200).This has never been used, hell i didn’t even take it out of the box, I paid 40 bills for it Im asking 30. LMK thanks

-Ian

If it’s anything like the typical ebay wide lenses it will suck. It creates a lensbaby type of effect. Which looks cool but just not the desired outcome. I have one and I like what it does…but either way GLWS

Thanks for the samples, but I can’t figure out any reason why I would want round pictures. 🙂

G/L w/the sale though. For $30 someone will probably pick it up just to mess around with.

Yeah I knew it wasn’t the actual lense. There’s no way it would be $30 if it was lol.

It’s probably the exact one that Geoff has.

No not really, it cant be used unless one of the supplied adapters is on, but yes one of those is a 52MM, and IDK WTF they give you the 58 for, it doesn’t fit on my 300MM or my 55-200, either way its best used on the 18-55
