Does this even exist? I've found the pentax/nikon/leica to eos mount. But Im looking for a screwmount to eos mount. I've got this POS ebay fisheye that screws onto a P&S and wanted to just fool around and see how it works on a dslr.

I suspect strongly that what you have is an auxiliary lens that mounts in front of the non-removable lens of a point-n-shoot. If that's what it is, it would do absolutely nothing for you mounted to the camera's lens mount. The design would not come even close to being able to focus when mounted to the camera and there probably is no way to adjust the focus of the device any way. I also doubt that there is any adjustable iris to control the aperture as there is in a conventional lens.

From the description you gave, you need to find a conventional lens with a 52mm filter thread and screw the device to it as if it were a filter.

Don't expect any miracles to occur.

Just screw it right onto the front of your 50 f/1.8. That'sthe way it's designed to be used. Or get a 58-52 mm step-down ring so you can use it on your 18-55.

i have used it on the kit lens before. Dont remember the results. But it was more of a curiosity thing, but like the first poster pointed out, i didn't even think about the focusing and aperture part of the equation. Neither are controlled on this ebay lens.
