Sharp, fun, and useful

This lens is more versatile and useful than a lot of people would think. The fisheye effect is certainly there and a lot of fun for the right pictures. But at the same time, it's both manageable and correctable if you want to use it for general...

Corner to corner sharpness can't be beat

 

Corner to corner sharpness can't be beat

Before investing this much cash into this lens, I highly suggest you pick up a cheap $30-80 fisheye adapter that can work with one of your existing lenses. If you have a blast with it after many, many shots, but wish the pictures were sharper, then...

Fun Lens certainly not your primary lens.

 

Fun Lens certainly not your primary lens.

I recently purchased this lens. Some people like Fisheye some people don't so it is not going to be your main lens. But in terms of a great lens for vacation and really unique pictures you can't go past it. The build quality is amazing and justifies...

WOW!

 

WOW!

I had already upgraded all of my Olympus Zuiko lenses to the second-tier (above the ones that the camera came with, and below the ones that cost gazillions), but I hadn't gotten around to buying a fish-eye. \n \nI upgraded the others because of their...

Superb Ultra-Wide Angle Lens

 

Superb Ultra-Wide Angle Lens

Very high quality build. Sharp images. It doesn't get any wider than this. If you like wide angle you will love this lens.

Olympus Fisheye

 

Excllent specialist lens - as long as you can "see" in non-rectilinear perspective (NOT distorted perspective BTW). Built like a battleship and excellent close-focus options. Huge DoF. Only issue is (understandable) lack of filter capability - burnt...

An Angle of View almost like the Human Eye

 

An Angle of View almost like the Human Eye

This lens is good if you are close-up, in the middle of a croud, and you want as much as possible of a wide angle to catch the whole scene. Obviously there will be distortions of straight lines into curved lines, since the camera sensor is flat, and...

Superb quality

This is a 'must have' lens for anyone who likes the fisheye effect. It is sharp from corner to corner, and exhibits great color and contrast characteristics.

Product Specifications

The Zuiko Digital ultra-wide fisheye lens helps you master light more effectively, even while providing an extreme 180-degree angle of view. Built from the ground up for digital photography, it channels more light to the image sensor for outstanding edge-to-edge results.This pristine glass lens delivers light directly to each of the imager's pixels. From center to edge, each image is filled with rich, accurate color, high contrast and subtle gradation. Designed exclusively for digital photography, Zuiko Digital Lenses provide a level of precision that's unattainable from a digital body using a traditional 35mm film lens.A must for fans of wide-angle photography, this ED Glass 8mm fisheye is ideal for viewing and composing dramatic ultra-wide "fisheye" images. Captures vivid detail with a 180 degree angle of view (diagonally) from as close as 5.3 inches to as far as infinity. Dust- and splash-resistant design lets you shoot in any weather.To correct lens distortions, shading and exposure information, this amazing lens has an upgradeable built-in computer that communicates directly with the camera's software. As a result, an exceptional level of control and accuracy is achieved, well beyond the capabilities of a passive lens.
