Pros: very high value for money, very light and compact...

Cons: ... perhaps too compact!

Opinion: Fullframe fisheye (or diagonal if you prefer) very light and so compact that it is difficult to rotate one of the two rings (aperture and focus distance) without turning the other as well. Very sharp even at full aperture, at f/4 and f/5.6 it reaches maximum performance in the frame center and edges respectively. Fully manual, without electrical contacts. "Thanks" to the M4/3 sensor goes into hyperfocal immediately, even with aperture wide open and infinity focus everything is in focus from half a meter of distance forward. used is around 150 euros, for this price I consider it an excellent low-cost entry into the UW world for the format. I use it both "au naturel" and defished with Panini projection. I agree with those who wrote before me that the hooking of the cap is not particularly safe, the fault of the fixed petal lens hood.

Pros: excellent sharpness and color rendering, pleasant fisheye effect, light and thick (especially in used ones) really very cheap.

Cons: if it were at least f2.8 it would be perfect, but significantly it would be much bigger and more expensive; filters cannot be used; Maybe a little plasticky

Opinion: I've always had GoPro that I used mainly to take photos and I've always liked the fisheye effect, so driven by the reviews and the fact that it was native for mft and not adapted by aps-c like the various ttartisan&co, I looked for one that I eventually found on a used site for a ridiculous amount (about 60€, until it actually arrived at home I thought it was a price error honestly). I took it on vacation this summer, I used it for some photos of the cat and to make some big faces in the foreground of my lady (not appreciated by both, I don't recommend it). A very fun lens if you like the genre, the distortion is not exaggerated and gives an effect that I find very pleasant. The definition is very good especially closing a couple of stops and the colors are generally quite vivid and bright, also very pleasant. Manual focus is practically never a problem because from the meter of distance onwards you just have to put it to infinity. The angle of view is 180°, which makes it impossible to use filters, for me perhaps the only relevant "defect". Being so small, moreover, it often becomes very easy to take pictures of your fingers and feet, but you just have to get used to it For what I paid for it I am extremely satisfied and I would absolutely recommend it, but even if I had paid something more, the opinion would not change.

Pros: Sharpness, color rendering, compactness, lightness, construction

Cons: Cap that is easily lifted leaving the lens uncovered in the bag.

Opinion: Goal that returned on Amazon but with repentance. I bought it back used luckily in conditions like new at less than half the price. Excellent yield (well above the "cinesoni" of equal millimeters), the edges are also sharp. Colors with both my old Oly and today's G9 satisfy me so much. Really compact and very light. One thing that struck me a lot is that despite being a fisheeye it does not have a distortion so aggressive as not to be correctable, indeed I can often find an alignment that allows me to take the photo almost flat. Since it has a very good yield, even correcting the distortion you lose almost nothing in terms of quality which I noticed on the other 7.5mm "cinesoni". The only flaw is the cap, it goes away easily and in the past I found the lens inside the bag completely uncovered. Perhaps it would be appropriate to tighten it or to buy a third-party cap but better as an interlocking.

Pros: Construction, size, optical yield, value for money

Cons: ... it can be addictive...

Opinion: It's my first fisheye, bought on RCE mostly out of curiosity surprised me with the surrender and became the faithful companion of the 12-40 pro Oly. Solid, compact, light and with excellent optical quality (also confirmed by OpticalLimits), in short, the essence of a lens for MFT. The distortion is inherent in the optical scheme and represents its characteristic brand, however I find that it is not annoying and quite controllable with a little practice, giving good results even in the landscape. Highly recommended... but to be used judiciously!

Pros: Price/quality ratio

Cons: Distortion still manageable in pp

Opinion: You can make particular images, Fish effect not exasperated, in the Micro 4/3 format corresponds to a 15". Manual Autofocus does not create problems as it is a lens predominantly from landscape results in very simple hyperfocal use. Recommended. ...............................................................................................................................................................................................................................
