Nikon AF Fisheye Nikkor 10.5mm f/2.8 G ED DX

Unique lens for professionals and enthusiasts alike! Very unique lens for sure. My main complaints are the price and the sharpness. This lenses has several sweet spots to achieve a good image: aperture, focal length, and framing. The lens isn't very sharp at f2.8, but not bad. The edges of the photos are all very soft and sometimes blurry, but you get that with pretty much any fisheye lens from my experience. And finally, focusing on a subject up close can be tricky! Too close, and you distort your subject too much, and too far away, and the subject is too soft. That being said, still one of my favorite lenses! A lot of fun and products extremely unique images! Just have to get used to it!!

Not fishy enough, My friend has fisheye lens for his Samsung. The image is warped in the middle and it creates interesting pictures. Nikon 10.5mm is technically fisheye, but the images are more like just wide angle with slightly warped edges. Maybe other people actually want this. I didn’t. I wanted fisheye lens.

Fisheye Fun: Nikon AF DX 10.5mm f/2.8G ED-IF Lens - The Nikon AF DX 10.5mm f/2.8G ED-IF Lens is a professional grade fish-eye lens with an extra wide f/2.8 aperture that allows a lot of light to pass through the lens. Fisheye lenses are fun and create an unsual perspective that can best be described as looking through the peep hole on the front door of someone's home. Fisheye lenses exaggerate the distance between objects, and capture a nearly 180 degree scope of what you're shooting. So if someone is standing next to you they might be in the shot. Some people like to correct the distortions made by a fisheye lens, but that takes away from some of the fun. The odd perspective is what makes fisheye lenses so much fun. This particular fisheye will work on all Nikon DSLRs. If you are using a D40, D40x, or a D60 you will only have manual focus capabilities but otherwise it will work fine. And if you're shooting with a D3 or D700, you will have to shoot in DX mode severely cropping the size of your photos down to 5 megapixel, but it will work fine. Seriously if you are shooting with an FX (full frame) camera such as the D3 or the D700, you should choose Nikkor 16mm f/2.8 because you will have all the same fisheye fun with none of the DX crop on your sensor. This is an excellent fisheye lens with zero vignetting and stunning tack sharp focus. It's fast, light, and fun. A great buy. You will not regret it.Read full review
