New Wide Angle Macro Lens

A couple of weeks ago I snagged up a brand new Bower Wide Angle Macro lens on Amazon for 40 bucks, and I could not be happier with it. It does a great job for the price, and they also threw in a lens cleaning kit, which I was desperately in need of. I really like the lens because it fish eyes, but not TOO much. It gets way more into the photo and gives it a cool dimension, but does not drastically distort everything.

Here's the link if you're interested.

I attach it to my 18-55mm lens and here's what it does:

I also bought a tripod and a UV lens filter, and I'm in the market for a lens that opens to at least  f/1.5.
