This is an add on fisheye adapter kinda popular in the 60's and 70's. You screw it onto a standard lens mounted on your camera body. It came with adapters for 49mm, 52mm and 58mm filter threads. On a full frame film or digital camera you get a full round image with a 50mm lens. The circle gets smaller as the prime lens is a wider focal length and the top and bottom get cut off if you use a telephoto. There is no focusing as you use the prime lens wide open and focused to infinity. It's a pretty cheap lens but if you can find one the price is around $100 US for one in nice condition.
