Nikon 10.5 Fisheye I simply can’t say enough about this lens. I’d wanted it for a long time but just could never justify the money. Then I rented it and went on a shoot, and shortly after we started shooting it was pretty much decided I had to buy it. After several days of use in various shooting environments and then taking a good look at the images it was easy to get an understanding of how and where the fisheye distorted the image, which then allowed me, to an extent, to shoot w/ that in mind, so I could…
Cool effect, no auto-focus, and pricey! Like many who purchased this lens, you buy it for the sheer width of the shot and the cool effect it has. I have taken some pretty cools shots and I like the up close fisheye look as well as the curve of the earth from afar. I will say I wish it had autofocus. That is a big bummer for me – I shoot with the Nikon D5100. When looking thru the viewfinder the manual focus on the fisheye can be difficult to master and I’ve often downloaded photos where many were just a little off focus which was…
A great Nikon fisheye Genuine Nikon fisheye. Can only use manual focus since it is not fully compatible with my Nikon D5200 but I wanted the best quality. Nikon offers a less expensive fisheye now that would have been more compatible but sometimes you get what you pay for. Only the autofocus does not work but who knows. I may upgrade my camera body at some point in the future. Definitely a quality lens ! I’m very happy it.
