    Excellent FIsh Eye Lens5.0/5

    Excellent FIsh Eye Lens Been using this for about a year, really good quality, sharp image. You get 180 degrees field of view at the 10mm setting. Recommended.

    A very sharp lens5.0/5

    A very sharp lens I bought this lens to shoot underwater images. It has a very good reputation for underwater photography. Despite being a dx,some photographers will use it on their full frame bodies. I have enjoyed taking very nice and sharp images with my sony a6300, coupled with a metabones 4 adapter. Its ability for very close focusing marks it as unique since many lenses do not offer this feature.

    Good for the buck really good lens5.0/5

    Good for the buck really good lens Perfect lens is is ideal for Underwater Photographers, nice colors, it can be a little bit sharper and I will like it to focus faster but over all is the best fish eye you can buy for the money and to take beautyful underwater pictures
