An essential tool for extreme sports and dramatic action shooters. The .43x Super Fisheye Adapter offers an extreme fisheye effect and a high degree of barrel distortion. It exaggerates depth by pulling nearby objects closer and causing distant objects to recede into the background. Advances in high-index / low-dispersion optical glasses, new barrel materials, and exotic anti-reflection coatings, along with the latest in computer-aided-design / computer-aided-manufacturing, are combined to produce lenses of unprecedented quality. Diamond-cut from crystal-clear, water-white optical glass, Opteka lenses are ground and polished to a precise precision. Because all Opteka lenses are designed and manufactured with the highest possible degree of consistency, you can swap lenses mid-shoot with no discernable variation in color or effect. The unprecedented purity, color saturation and repeatability of Opteka lenses virtually eliminate the need for lab color timing corrections caused by other lenses. This puts more creative control where it belongs - in your hands. Opteka lenses stand up to the most rigorous demands on the stage and on location. Opteka's hard anti-reflective (AR) coating offers protection specially formulated to resist flaking, peeling and scratching. This proprietary AR coating also reduces light loss and flare to less than 1% per surface, compared to untreated glass which has a light loss of 4% per surface. Opteka lenses allow you to shoot with total confidence!

It's definitely not a death lens, but it's a great fisheye for the money. Mine has already been smacked once and there were absolutely no scratches. Cleaning is easy and all of the shots with it are super steezy

 "Wrong battery charger with even no brand name--USELESS" 2009-10-17
By Mustafa Fehmi Nuhoglu
I am very surprised that at my first purchase, i have been cheated by the sending company which have put SOME KIND OF WRONG battery charger in the pack.

How dare can they remove the original Sony Battery Charger and insert an unidentified kind of useless charger ?

Who is responsible for that?

I have paid my money to Amazon, and i want a clrarification from Amazon...

I have been in all photo shops and camera retailers in Austin,TX and almost everybody told me that this is commonly made by the senders.

A Battery Charger costs arond 59-60 usd in Austin.

Please advise what to do, should i return the whole set ?

I could not make the camera work yet, and i am walking around all the shops to get a help every week end.

By D. Fuller (Southern California)
I got this camera for my wife. She wanted something that was easy to use, and didn't have dozens of buttons and controls. The DSC-T77 was perfect. She loves the touch-screen user interface, and mastered some of the more advanced settings with ease. Plus, the lime green color matches a leisure suit I had in 1977.

 "I LOVE THIS CAMERA!!!!!" 2009-07-19
By Doctor Dan (Bangor, Maine)
This is my second digital camera and I've been having so much fun with it for almost five months now that I felt I should 'review' it. It's truly worthy of my 'FIVE STAR' rating.



Unlike most digital cameras, it's actually made IN Japan(except for the lens optics which are sourced from the 'world-class' Zeiss factory) Lots of METAL not plastic, and a build-quality that's top notch. It's really a pocket-sized wonder capable of stunning image quality - I just had a couple of 13.5" x 24.0" custom prints made from a High Defintion 16 x 9 ratio image that's simply stunning. It's hard to believe that it came out of such a small camera(and speaks well for Sony's choice of the Zeiss optics)!



I should mention a couple VERY important things right off. One, it's NOT a 'toy' but rather a very complex and 'precision' instrument. It's delicate and not designed to be dropped, submerged or abused. Use the wrist strap ALWAYS! And the big 3" LCD touch-screen is delicate so keep your right hand thumbnail cut short so you don't 'gouge' the screen when holding the camera. Perhaps a flexible screen protector would help, but I feel it would affect the screen's sensitivity, so I haven't installed one and use Sony's 'paint pen'(the little plastic paddle-thingie that you install on the wrist strap). It only takes a VERY light touch to use it on the screen - don't use it like a ball-point pen on multi-part carbonless paperwork where people are accustomed to 'bearing down' hard to make an impression through all the copies! Easy does it!



And get a really good case to keep it in to give your investment a chance for a long life. I liked the Case Logic UNZB-2, a padded neoprene model with extra padding on one side to give a little extra 'protection' to the big LCD touch screen. I replaced the case's little metal hanging loop with a carabiner(?sp.) clip(available at hardware stores and some sporting goods shops) to allow me to quickly latch the camera case to a belt loop on my jeans so I can always have the camera with me and not miss those wonderful photo 'ops' that always seem to happen when you don't have your camera with you!



Besides buying another Sony #NP-FD1 battery so I always have 'power', I also purchased Sony's #VMC-MHC1 HD Output adapter cable which is NOT the same as the cable that comes with the camera. The difference is the ability to connect to an HDTV's composite video inputs for true HD quality(I only wish Sony made this cable longer than the 1.5 meter length)Hint, hint Sony!



And, of course, buy a quality 'high speed' Memory Stick Pro Duo as the internal 15MB memory won't go far at all(maybe a few HD-size images at the most). A 1 GB for still images, and more if you want to capture motion.



The specs and reviews from many others will tell you the rest so I won't repeat it all. But I will say that I LOVE this camera SO much, I've bought a second one too!

This camera is the best I've brought in a Long time. The facial reconition and smile reconition is the best technology I've ever seen.

 "Good Buy" 2009-05-14
By Meenal R. Sharma (Philadelphia, PA)
Its a very good camera. Really small and stylish. Touch screen is comfortable to use too. However, there are some white spots found in the picture in certain lighting conditions.



But overall a very good buy and worth the money.

 "it's ok I guess" 2009-10-02
By drderek (knoxville,TN)
I recently bought this tripod for a family trip to the beach. I am relatively new to slr photography and this is my first tripod.



When the tripod first arrived the knob for setting the head for portrait shots would not stay on. However I called customer service and they did send me replacement knob for the one that turned out to be stripped.



Even so, that function of the head is more or less useless since the swivel is not strong enough to really stay where you set it and the weight of the camera pulls it down. Fortunately I figured out that you can take portrait shots anyway simply by putting the camera on sideways and using the tilt.



Since I was at the beach, naturally I attempted some sunrise/sunset landscape shots. This is how i found out that the bubble level is pretty much useless. I figure either the bubble is wrong, or it levels the legs beautifully and the poorly-made head doesn't sit level on them, or the ocean itself is off level. I did notice that even after everything was leveled, panning would throw it off again which makes me think its the head and not the un-level ocean. Either way it was a hassle to have to look through the viewfinder whilst leveling the legs every time you wanted to pan or move the tripod.



Overall, I guess it did what its supposed to, although I will definitely be looking for a better tripod that won't be such a pain in the neck to set up each shot. I guess I should have listened to what other people have posted on the net about bargain tripods, but I guess you have to try everything for yourself before you can fully understand.

By George B. Renshaw
for the low price its ok, as titled decent in comparison to a professional super solid model. For a novice photographer on a low budget its pretty good.

By Newell Roundy (Prescott, AZ)
I recently returned from a photographic trip for my company taking over 1400 pictures and used the Zeikos tripod extensively. I am very pleased with it's performance. My product test usually is; "would I buy another one?". Absolutely!

 "very good for the price" 2009-06-20

I like the product, good for the house or sport event to keep the camcorder stable,

 "Great For The Price" 2009-02-09
By Scott Hildenbrand (MD)
Its easy to give this product five stars because it performs amazingly and the price it outstanding. I've used this tripod for all sorts of projects from photography to time lapse work and night work using infrared cameras. Every camera it has held well and sturdy and has performed without any flaws. It has great height to get low to high shots which for me makes overview work easy.

Nice, well build very good price. Good hight no need to bow down especialy when using binoculairs.

 "Great Product" 2009-07-14
By Visionchild (New Hampshire)
I'm very pleased with this tripod. It's extremely simple, lightweight, and handles everything I need. When you lift it and hold it, it seems delicate and very breakable, but as long as you take care of it, you will be very pleased with this product.

 "Good for the price" 2009-06-04
By Franklin F. Smith (Portland, OR United States)
So the first thing to remember about this tripod is how much it costs. It didn't cost much at all, as tripods go, so we can't bash it and say it was a rip-off or that it sucks. It is actually perfect for me. I take it on road trips in the back of the car and it is great. I am a bit of a youtuber and it works awesome for shooting videos inside and outside. I just use a small digital point and shoot for both stills and videos. This is no good for a professional or for an abusive/harsh environment. But, for that matter, if you use a tripod that much (i.e. professionally) you are probably not going to even look at a $30 tripod. This thing is great. I don't have to set my camera on books or anything anymore!
