Customer Reviews — [1] Rating: 5 Date: 2009-12-29 Summary: excellent entry-level macro conversion lens ... Works very well with Canon Rebel XS as a conversion lens, allowing my novice photographer daughter to experiment with macro shots without having to invest significantly more $$$ in an actual Canon macro lens.

[2] Rating: 4 Date: 2009-05-07 Summary: Just as promised... ... The product works well; the lens delivered just like the description and other reviewers said it would. Though you have to physically get closer and farther from the subject, and while auto-focus features may mar its effectiveness, it works fine. The only problem I ran into was that the images would come out circular rather than rectangular (?). ...more
[3] Rating: 5 Date: 2008-10-08 Summary: great product for the price ... This macro lens attaching to an existing lens works well and has an exceedingly low price. Of course it is not a dedicated macro lens. But because it is easy to carry (small) and so inexpensive and of good quality it is a bargain. ...more

Customer Reviews — [1] Rating: 4 Date: 2009-10-12 Summary: Better than I expected ... This White Balance Lens Cap Disk is a clever little tool that gets the job done. I use mine in studio and outdoors. It is easy to use and produces the right white balance colors most of the time. I say most of the time because it seems to depend on your exposure. If I get my exposure properly set then I have no trouble. It is small and easy to keep in my back pocket during the shoot. Fast and easy to use. ...more
[2] Rating: 4 Date: 2010-02-01 Summary: Works great! ... This item is excellent and comes in extra handy when you don't have a flat white wall to shoot at for a good white balance. I use this primarily for video. ...more
Editorial Reviews — ... Product Description | The White Balance Lens Cap is great for use with digital cameras. Just place the cap over your lens, point your camera at a subject area, and the incoming light is diffused to create an average white balance for a particular scene (check camera manufacturer's manual for setting white balance). The White Balance Lens Cap easily slips on to the front of any appropriately sized lens, or a lens with a protective filter. Even if your lens has a bayonet mount on the outside, simply use the bayonet...more

[2] Rating: 4 Date: 2009-09-01 Summary: After using this lens I'd rate it so,so ... I was very pleased at first with this lens,however after about a month I have found myself becoming Very frustrated with the slow,noisy, and sometime non-existent auto-focus ability and the extremely "touchy" manual focus mode means that you better not be in a hurry to get your shot because you're gonna be fidgeting for awhile trying to get the focus indicator to light up..... on a Sony A300 anyway. I have 2 other Sigma lenes, a 28mm and a 70-300mm, and couldn't be happier with their performance,I suppose this is why ...more
[3] Rating: 4 Date: 2009-09-30 Summary: Buy this. Do it nao. ... I won't lie. I know nothing about macro photography other than I want to learn how to do it and do it well. So I read around and a lot of people said this was a very solid lens to go with. More importantly, though, I spent hours looking at photos taken with this lens on the exact body that I use. I liked what I saw, the price was reasonable, so I went with it. When it came I didn't even read any of the fine literature that comes with it, I just put it on and started shooting pepsi cans, keyboards, and creepy collections ...more
