Is the Deathlens FS V1 72mm just a rebadged Opteka?

[TheVisitor]

I've given up on being able to afford an Extreme. Anyone tried this lens?

LukeMurphyMedia recently posted this to help improve the look of the MK2/Opteka.

as far as i know all of the recent 0.3x lenses resellers have are from aliexpress/etc from a brand called kapkur who manufacture for opteka, so they're pretty much just opteka 0.3x lenses except the resellers have some engraving/printing on the lens caps/sunshade and then jack the price up

$250 (down from $350!)
