Has anyone tried a bugeye lens?

Hi All,

For underwater photographers, there are a few lenses available which are macro-wide angle. Supposedly, you can get shots of small animals, with a wide-angle view of the background. These lenses are mounted outside on the underwater housing, in series with a macro lens.

Here are two models which I have found online:

Has anyone tried these lenses? How is the focusing, depth of field, ect? I'd be really curious.

Thanks,

Klaus
