Hello ppl
If you have any cheap bad plastic lenses that really mess up your photos I am interested in buying them. They don't have to be for Canon even, analog or digital camera lens makes no diffeence o me either. Let ne know.
PS. I am serious.

Close it in and it should kill a lot of the haze. Tilting the fresnel out of square to the focal plane seems better than bending it for distortion. Also note it seemed (through the 'finder) to be a 1:1 or more macro.
