Pros:
|
Very sharp. Easy to use; small and light weight
|
|
Cons:
|
Tendency to overuse
|
|
I was looking for an FX fisheye to replace my DX Nikon 10.5 Fish and it came down to this lens or the Nikon 16 f/2.8. The Nikon was over $200 more expensive and most reviews said this lens was slightly sharper. Both had the same 180 degree view somehow. This lens exceeded my expectations and produces very nice and very sharp images if I do my part. The only tendency is that some folks overuse fisheyes. It should be a very specialized lens.

Stellar performance for a fisheye lens. The lens is bright & fast. It's really fun to use. Simply set it in f/5.6 - f/8 and voila, all sharp images across the frame.
I mostly use this lens for film (on my F75 or F90x). It brings great color saturation, sharpness & contrast across the images. It also comes in a small & light package. Like I've said earlier, it's a fun lens to use. If you see it, buy it. no regret!

Fun sharp lens!
|
|
Cons:

I can't think of any...for a 15mm fisheye that has almost zero flare...super in my book!
|
|
This is a great fun lens. I would save a lot of $$ and buy this fisheye over the Nikon and Canon versions...every bit as good.
Here are some sample shots taken with a Nikon D200:

Pros:
|
good optic quality
|
|
Cons:
|
on APS-C sensor a 10mm would be better
|
|
This is a nice lens! Very good optics with high resolution and only very few CA´s. Distorcion could be stronger - I would prefer 10-12mm (8mm are too much - I don´t like the full circle). Good buildings, I gave 9 in construccion and 9 in picturequality. A real fun lens with a hell lot of DOF !!!
