is says for 49mm it changed to say Canon EOS M50 M M2 M3 M5 M6 Mark II M10 M100 M200 R50 R100 Mirrorless Cameras

but if I change it to 58mm it’s title changes to

The link doesn’t connect to anything for me, but my guess, from the description, is that the item is a screw on lens that threads onto the filter ring of a lens. If I am correct these things are junk and could even damage your lens because of the weight it adds.

Hi Zeke2,

What you posted does not actually include a link, but I am familiar with this vendor and knew where to look.

Altura refers to this accessory as a lens, but it's really an adapter. Higher quality units usually mount between the body and lens. This unit mounts to the front of a lens. It's important that you understand this "accessory" does not mount to a camera. Notice the box states "HD lens attachment". Let's talk about your camera and lenses. You have a T3. What lens or lenses do you own and what lens were you hoping to use this accessory with?

The mm reference is not focal length. It's the width of the lenses filter thread. I do want to mention the following. You'd be much better off buying a lens with a shorter focal length than using an accessory like this. Tell us about the lenses you own and we can provide more details.

Please note however I am in 💯 percent agreement with jrhoffman75.

EDIT - spelling

Don’t walk run far away from that. It’s not a deal it’s junk and don’t put it on any camera. If you need a lens recommendation we can give you one. If you do need one specificy your needs and a budget.

I want to say it's not quite as terrible as others are saying,but it is kinda bad. This guy has some example photos.They're all wide angle shots that don't make use of its macro abilities but it will give you an idea of image quality(or lack of😅)

"I want to say it's not quite as terrible as others are saying,..."
