  | sent on 28 Ottobre 2024 Pros: Razor-sharp at closed apertures, size. Cons: Backlit contrast, wide open performance, ugly stars, so-so colors Opinion: It covers 180 degrees on the diagonal (!). I state that I have an old type example, perhaps from the 90s, the one with the distance scale in green to be clear. At f2.8 it has any kind of existing aberration, while at f4 it already improves a lot but remains unusable at the edges. At f5.6 it is very sharp in the center and has a fair amount of homogeneity. The maximum is reached at f11/16, where it has an extremely high sharpness (about 24mpx) up to the extreme edge. Judging by online tests it seems to be the sharpest lens in its category at closed apertures, and the worst at wide apertures. Backlit contrast feels the weight of the years (at the level of the Nikon premulticoating of the 60s, perhaps even worse), often with an evident drop in contrast in the center of the image that is like a big flare, and so-so colors. Build quality good only to the touch, because it actually dances everywhere. The rear filter is part of the optical scheme, without this it does not focus infinitely, so check when buying that there is at least the neutral one. I used it a few times at night in the city and I was not thrilled, moreover the stars it creates have only 6 points and also poorly defined, but I do not exclude that you can come up with something good. I recommend it for fun or for taking high-resolution edge-to-edge photos at closed apertures in light conditions that are not difficult. |
 | sent on 01 Settembre 2023 Pros: Spectacular! Cons: Manual fire only Opinion: Bought used by a friend, it is a lens that, if used for the purpose for which it was born, I consider it a show! It has a huge shooting angle, practically 180°, which creates a type of image that I love. Of course, we must not forget the deformation, since it is a fisheye, but in particular situations it makes excellent photos. Very sharp closing the aperture a little, for panoramas, with infinite focus, it is definitely excellent. Metal construction, typical of "dated" lenses that makes it very solid. The only flaw is the cap, whose shape tends to make it easily unhook. |
  | sent on 04 Settembre 2021 Pros: Price, construction, good colors, yield in the center Cons: not exceptional edges, but for what cost do you expect? Opinion: I took this lens to have a cheap wide angle to mount on the Sigma SD10, trying to build a foveon kit at limited costs, even more. As a wide angle on the Sigma it would be equivalent to about 28mm. I say it would be equivalent because the distortion is considerable (it is a fisheye ...) and therefore wanting to use it as a wide angle in certain photos must then be corrected via software in postproduction, and therefore you have to frame a little wide, because part of the frame will go away. So the equivalent 28mm is reduced a bit. On the other hand, using it on aps-c the drop in yield at the edges is shown much less (for obvious reasons). The color rendering is not bad and also the sharpness, if you close the aperture a little, is fine and does not sacrifice the yield of the foveon: the sensor is not very dense. How it goes on sensors with many megapixels I can't say, but neither do I care. Used on the 6D, however, it defends itself: the sharpness drops at the edges but remains good in the center (we are always talking about a 20mpx sensor) and it is still a fun toy, even if I do not plan to use it much. But should I feel like fisheye, for occasional uses it is more than fine (and then who is it that makes non-occasional use of fisheye?). The front cap of my specimen for now is fine, and along with the lens have also arrived three colored filters for the BN, to be mounted at the rear. I don't think I'll use them, but maybe someone might be interested. Using it with adapters you have to lock the piston that transmits the automatic of the diaphragm, otherwise the lens will always be at full aperture, unless you use adapters that block it, but I avoided using this type of adapter so as not to increase the draft too much. Locking the piston is a half-hour job, perfectly reversible, in case you want to resell it or use it on old analog cameras. In short, for what it costs it is good, solid and fun. |
 | sent on 30 Giugno 2020 Pros: Great value. Smooth and precise ghiere. Good sharpness in the center Cons: Soft and scant at the edges, but recoverable diaphragm Opinion: I arrived again from Russia, after a month of waiting, but cmq respecting the indicated times. The price of the new little differs from the used for which I preferred to go on the safe. At T.A. it is very soft and has a kind of flou effect, which disappears immediately closing at f/4. the best you get from 5.6 up and while not coming to the excellent sharpness of the Nikon analogue, it has a yield more than dignified, especially when you think about the paltry cost. The dials of manual fire are fluid and without uncertainty, the blades of the diaphragm in their inaccurate movement. Compared to the Nikon 10.5 Dx is definitely lower than the edges species open, but closing recovers enough at the edges and in the middle, being cmq a FF I prefer it to the Dx. Col 16 Nikon obviously there is no match, but if you do not have big needs, considering that it costs 1/5 of his majesty, I would say that he has his reason. |

| sent on 23 Giugno 2020 Pros: sharp from f5 up, but always uncertain edges, smooth and above all adjustable in focus. vintage taste Cons: weight, but you know that the glass weighs. light cap dancer and comes off easily Opinion: I bought out of curiosity this old lens paid 100 euros with m42 attack and I have to say that mounted on my fuji xpro 2 I'm having fun. Of course you have to take into account that it is always an old lens, but I assure you that you will enjoy it. A little uncomfortable to carry because it is as heavy as a stone and in comparison to modern plastic lenses makes you laugh a bit. When I bought it the old owner had not warned me of an infinite focus defect, that is, all the photos taken from a certain distance were completely out of focus. Thinking I had taken a rip-off I had put it in the drawer, but dismantling in the web I came across a forum dedicated to vintage lenses where I discovered that this lens could present these problems of infinite maf due to the incorrect assembly of the front of the lens. In fact, by following the instructions and removing the rubber dial dul barrel, you can access three small screws that loosen them allow the correct positioning of the numbered ring of distances and consequently put the focus to infinity. |
 | sent on 07 Novembre 2019 Pros: Solid construction, of the past, with exceptional sharpness from f5.6 onwards, but already good since 2.8. Cons: Nothing. Opinion: Bought used for Nikon with maf confirmation chips, in excellent condition, at a great price (Photo Mattioli). Exceptional value for money, with nothing to envy to similar optics with a tenfold cost. You do not feel the lack of autofocus: by shooting in hyperfocal, no image is to be discarded. To be had in the kit, despite the infrequent use. |
 | sent on 05 Ottobre 2016 Pros: Sharpness, compact, solid feel, price Cons: Front plug (a detail) Opinion: Taken in September 2016, new model 2015, straight from Mother Russia for a total of 170 euro.rnDa immediately feels solid and well made. Used on the field I was very pleased. The use of fx and did not notice vignetting even at RT. Usable without af / 2.8 problems becomes good at f / 5.6 and very good at f / 8-11. It is a toy for the cost and the quality is absolutely valid to have fun with some personality photos but usable, if kept in a bubble and without vertical lines at the edges nearby, such as wide angle. Good resistance to flare, in the mean of wide angles. I had the same focal length fisheye Nikkor and honestly not known differences worth noting. My judgment is positive and I would recommend it to anyone who wants to have a very good fish at an affordable price since new. All right, does not have the coat of arms of the nikkor ... but the quality is sometimes spending less does not mean to be disappointed. |

 | sent on 01 Giugno 2016 Pros: Sharpness, construction, light weight and price Cons: Minimum focusing distance of 30cm fire. Sigma 15mm and 10.5 the nikon have to 15cm, AC at full aperture Opinion: I bought the new model on ebay and I was pleasantly surprised to value for money. I paid 200 sent again. The optics of d750 is very clear and I think is very valid. The only comment is the minimum focusing distance of 30cm fire (on the Nikon 16mm has to 25cm), and you can not make funny photos with a small dog small subject larger type size or another animal and rest distorted, otherwise it would have been perfect. For immersive and / or very large entities like people and / or cattle instead it goes from God. The f is easy to handle even if it is in manual. The dial is duretta and fluid, and allows you to be very precise. |
  | sent on 22 Maggio 2016 Pros: solid construction, optical quality, price Cons: Dancer front cap Opinion: I purchased this light that is still in production new paying less than 200 Euros, which I considered adequate expenditure perspective that basically is one sfizio.rnSono was pleasantly impressed by the constructive solidtà (all metal) and the optical performance quality that by closing at least f8 is really notevole.rnL'obiettivo is already ordered with Nikon or Canon attack. Of course everything is manual but this focal length that does not create problemi.rnMontato of D800 to the close of the brightness diaphragm remains unchanged until the time of shooting with an indication in the viewfinder of impostato.rnConclusione diaphragm: a very funny goal. I am very happy with the purchase and use it with great pleasure. |
 | sent on 21 Maggio 2016 Pros: Price, optical quality, solid and light Cons: against? you can have against a fisheye to 150 €? Opinion: I bought this light in 2014. found on ebay to € 150, if they are different for both Canon and Nikon, or alternatively with a discreet sharpness M42.rnha step already at full aperture that becomes excellent closing of a couple of stops. is the classic lens of once, all glass and metal. is entirely manual, but it is not a problem since with optics with a 180 ° field angle, like this, the focus, in the vast majority of cases, goes all'infinito.rnoltretutto, compared to Canon fisheye, Nikon or Sigma, which cost four times, is much lighter and compatto.rn |
 | sent on 10 Dicembre 2015 Pros: Sharpness, strength of the mechanical part Cons: He loses some 'of its charm on the APS-C Opinion: I decided to retrieve this lens I had pulled out of a box as I put order in my closet, and I would say that even after 15 years (I had already bought second-hand at the time) still makes a great impression. Of course, the APS-C loses much of its charm because it becomes a 24mm, but I used it with satisfaction on my Pentax, the K-3 and K-S2. The distortion typical of fisheye, albeit less pronounced than the "full size" of the film is pleasant, the sharpness is fairly wide open, especially at the edges, but it becomes sharp (at least in my copy) already at f / 5.6. I use it very often on a tripod and remote control, but just set to f / 8 and you can forget the focus by dell'iperfocale immeasurable. It 'a great "glass", not very light in relation to the size but it gives a feeling of quality and solidity unknown to many objectives of today, the aperture ring has fits well defined and qushe focus it is fluid and precise, although in reality it is not used that much. If you can find him still around strongly advise you not to miss it because it is really worth it. |

| sent on 10 Dicembre 2015 Pros: construction, clarity and price Cons: nobody Opinion: I would say that any further opinion after what has been said about this wide superfluo.E is 'undoubtedly a great goal, as generally all "glass" that come from' EST. In them, generally the mechanical part is not adequate to the times, but in this case, this wide angle, fails to fully satisfy what is required. Good buy also in relation to the price that is new to a few tens of euro. |
 | sent on 09 Luglio 2015 Pros: Solid construction, compact, excellent resistance to flare, free hot spot in IR photography, bright, price. Cons: A little soft wide open, cap front improved. Opinion: After a few months of use I can also express some feelings of use for this lens. Purchased new (production is not a vintage) with native Nikon attack, the first thing you notice is its solid all-metal barrel. Compact and relatively light, finds a permanent place in the bag, the situations in which it is useful not few. Saturated colors as you would expect from a fisheye excellent resistance to flare, even with direct sunlight, the lack of AF does not feel at all. On some cameras you can only use it in the manual, for example, in aperture priority on D80 gives me error FF, on the D610 instead be used in each mode. A wide open is not always usable if you search for extreme sharpness, I have not yet tested in night photography. For fans of infrared, in cases of use of modified reflex, my copy is free of hot spots on each diaphragm. You can not use external filters also if you can; always adapt something where it was for, it is also possible to remove the metal hood. The cover of FF of this lens does not believe arrivals to 180 degrees declared on the form, I also have a Samyang 14mm and comparing it with the latter, I seem to see eye to an angle of 120 degrees, little wider than Samyang. The distortions are typical of fish eye. The very low cost makes it very attractive, are very happy with the purchase. Worth much more than what it costs. |
 | sent on 01 Maggio 2015 Pros: robustness, small size, sharpness, brightness, filter rear version m42, color rendering Cons: cap unstable Opinion: perspective really well built, ring diaphragms with some small game, focus ring fluid and pleasant, despite its small size both rings have good operability. I love manual lenses, so I think this is a point to favore.rncome mentioned often leaves the factory with a few minor problems assembling the hood, which is resolved by loosening the three small screws and repositioning the pezzo.rnconsiderato the price, this lens gives crisp, clean images, some astonishing thing is the extremely low chromatic aberration, even in situations of high contrast (obviously works wonders). rnho purchased a version with M42 connection, instead of digital canon, in this way the lens can be mounted on old analog with thread. Interestingly on analog: the lens is equipped with 4 filters back (UV, green, yellow, red, to be mounted between the lens and camera) useful for photography in black / white. with adapter m42 with chip also earns the confirmation of focus, which is useful looking through thel mirino.rnsu sensors aps does not give the same satisfactions that you have on FF, since the distortion is not so evidente.rnil minimum aperture of f / 2.8 is very muffled, but already at f / 4-5.6, the halo disappears; f / 8 the yield is really ottima.rnun done really bad is that the cap does not hook very firmly the lens hood and then comes off easily, so if you hold the camera in your bag, make sure that the lens is protected by un'astuccio, also the same bag lens goes bene.rnil price (about 120 on eBay) is extremely competitive, compared with more famous brands of competitors affermate.rnmi would recommend this to anyone interest objective experience, especially in architecture and street photography; within landscaped the exaggerated perspective goes out and the figures in the distance are compressed, so better to focus on a more valid Samyang 14mm. |
 | sent on 10 Aprile 2015 Pros: Price, brightness ', more' than good sharpness (slopes down from the center to the edges, but not dramatically). solid and aesthetically appealing building. small footprint. Cons: Manual focus. Opinion: It 'a goal' fanciful '. It costs little and is' quite clear. Better to mount it on FX to fully exploit the angle to 180. On D700 and 'excellent. The colors are warm and crystalline, semi-solid forms and vintage, but the images are bright and fresh. Being the fisheye an occasional lens, which tends to tire as extreme, it should invest on an object like this, without remorse for having spent too much money for Nikon branded pieces. |
