The good news is, I had a $25 gift certificate and this little thing only cost $23.49.
Here's the oh-so-exciting view of the area leading into my bathroom, just to show the effect.
It has to be used on my kit lens (with an included adapter). The dog one was at 18mm on the kit lens. It looks like I can go to about 24mm and eliminate the black barrel effect but keep the fishy look, but anywhere from 24 up to 55 just looked normal (like a cruddy kit lens with an even cruddier piece of glass layered on it).You get what you paid for, and since I paid nothing except shipping (and even got a free lens cleaning kit thrown in) I'm pretty happy.
Now I think I'll put my photo-equipment savings toward the 40D.

That is pretty cool...I have been dying to get a fish eye but just don't know if I will use it enough...I will be curious to see what you think of this...

Very cool!!!
i'm surprised that you don't have a tongue attached to that lens! I get so scared that the dogs will lick them that I have to stay back from them. Cool shots and I love the new lens!
I love that shot of your dog! Too funny. That lens looks like so much fun!
You'll have to post more pictures with that. I've seen it and have been wondering if it would be worth it to get.

Very cool effect. Good job, bargain hunter!

Pretty cool looking shots.
That's so fun! And what a great deal!
LOVE the first shot! It's so great! What a cool little tool! Will it work on my kit lens too? How fun would that be?!
Very cool! What a great deal! Fun pictures. You'll definitely have a lot of fun with this lens!
Pretty cool!! I love the look of fish eye shots. Stinks about the black barrel though!
Well I think that is pretty darn COOL! I know what you mean about the practicality of the fish eye. I totally love them on Heather's blog, but I can't say that I will ever get to use them that much. But I think your bathroom looks great. And really clean too! The puppy sure looks like he is enjoying it! Hehe
I love the first one. Looks like fun!
