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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Pros: Economic rnSolido-rnPiccolo-rnNitido diaframmando

Cons: Often poorly assembled with hood wrong, rnsu APSC effect fish is cut from the crop factor. rnAssenza AF and aperture ring a bit awkward

Opinion: My copy is rather sharp in the center but with the corners a bit soft, even diaframmando.rnNonostante that I consider a fisheye cost 1/5 of the other is exceptional for its prestazioni.rnL 'AF is not a big problem, setting of "infinite" is always around to fuoco.rnIn alternative technique is "open the aperture to control exposure - close the aperture and shutter". rnrnUna alternative to experience the fisheye without major outlays economic
