The Neewer .45x wide angle lens adapter has 2 parts. When both are together it functions as a wide angle lens, if you take the lens apart you have a macro lens attachment. Place the cap on the top portion and set aside. The small macro adapter has 58mm threads, so it will fit on any lens that has 58mm threads. The threads are very small so be careful when you screw it on so you don't cross thread the adapter.
Once you install the macro adapter to your lens you're ready to go. Autofocus will most likely not work, so you will have to switch the lens to manual. Please see lens documentation for this step, but it should be a simple slide or button that indicates AF (auto focus) or MF (manual focus).
A neat trick I use to get the manual focus right is to have the camera in live view, so it displays on the large LCD on the back, and use the zoom function on the live display to check focus. Zoom in on what you want in focus, and turn the focus ring to get everything in focus. I don't know about you, but my eyes have a hard time judging focus in the little view finder up top.
The top two are a spark plug and the bottom is a banana.
My impression:
You CAN get some pretty cool shots with this Neewer .45x wide angle lens adapter. And for about 15 bucks shipped, I think its worth it if you plan on experimenting with Macro photography. I was using my 75-300 canon lens on the first two pictures and the 18-55mm on the banana.
