Pros:+ Easy to use (just stick it on!)+ Cheap! I've seen some more expensive ones out there+ Works GREAT with my webcam! It's better on my webcam than on my phone (probably because my phone zooms in by default, so you can't really see the fish eye/panoramic effect+ Build quality is pretty decent
Cons:- The fish eye effect isn't that great (it's not as wide as some of the other lenses I've used)but is still noticeable- Build quality could have been slightly better (there was a piece of dust/plastic inside the lens but luckily, you can't see it when you use the lens)- The lens lowers the quality of the image! When I used it for my camera it lowers the quality quite a bit. I'd recommend using it for your webcam as it fits nicely and you don't really see the image quality becoming slightly lowered- Doesn't really fit on normal compact digital cameras (it's too small) but it really depends on the camera you have
Other Thoughts:If the elastic adhesive doesn't stick anymore, try using a bit of water (use a wet cloth) or just wash it with a little soap and don't completely dry it.
Bottomline:Nice gadget to have, cheap and does it's job! Buy it!

Very inexpensive!

Pros:-This lens is basically universal.-Very cheap! Other places such as eBay and others sell for $5+. -Works really well with my phone, camera, webcam.-I'd say the angle with this lens on it about 160.
Cons:-I own a 1080p camera, and once I put the lens on, I'd say the quality of pictures drop to about 480p. Not much to complain about but, I wish it was 1080 though!-If you are taking pics in the sunlight, and your camera lens is too wide. You will get parts of the jelly, and it will be green. (I fixed this by lining it with electric tape.-The fish eye effect doesn't really work too well. I heard if you take out the jelly lens, and flip it around, you get a better effect.-Adhesive didn't really stick when I first received it. I tried to do the water and soap method, didn't really work. I put a little hairspray on it. =]
Bottomline:Buy it! It's fun and cheap!

good for webcams =)

Pros:Price wise - it's the best deal out there ... i know people who're selling these at $6-8 a piece ...ease of use? just stick it on! build quality? could be better, mine came with a small gap between the plastic holding the lens and the plastic holding the adhesive ...usefulness? i'd say a 4/5 as it can be useful when video conferencing with more than one person on my side ... the wide angle simply lets the other side see more ... so they can see who they;re talking to =)
Cons:it's a little too small for compact cameras ... doesn't really fit on the iphone's camera .. as the iphone's back is curved ... so the lens can't be aligned with it properly easily ... =/not really a big con, cos i bought it for use with my webcam ...
Other Thoughts:it's cheap! i may buy the others ... if there's a way to use it with the iphone easily ..
Bottomline:cheap, good, does the jobbuild quality could be better ... but hey, it's cheap =)

Cool

Pros:-takes alright photos for what it is and how much it costs-been looking for one of these for a while-fits on most fones and very small lense cameras
Cons:-if your taking photos in day light or other bright light it light up the lense housing and leaves green ring around your picture but you can fix this by zooming in so the ring isnt in frame.could probly fix it with tape or something reflective as well.
Other Thoughts:-would be pretty good to use on webcam, will have to try
Bottomline:pretty cool thing to have especially if u want to take skate pictures on your phone

No very efficient

Pros:I wanted to try this little lens. I'm gonna be honest, i work all day with lens (i'm a filmmaker). I knew that the effect wouldn't be that impressive but i'm still disapointed.For the good side, it's portable and it adapts easily on any camera phone. The glue thing is gonna lose grip, one day or another, but for now, it's still good (and i tried it on several items).
Cons:Works pretty bad at close range. Effect is more visible in wide shots.
Other Thoughts:
Bottomline:It's not that expensive but for the effect, it could be cheaper. Still, sometimes it works but in wider shots.
