Review on Nikon AF DX NIKKOR 10.5mm f/2.8G ED Fixed Zoom Fisheye Lens - Auto Focus for Nikon DSLR Cameras by Tasha Powell

I've always wanted a fisheye, but losing about $700 for a lens that could only be used occasionally made me hesitate. When I finally decided to ditch the hammer (and credit card) I figured if I bought one I would definitely use it a lot. I only use prime lenses on my D7000, I started photography in the 70's when zooms weren't that great and when I go out I only use one lens on my camera. The most popular lens is 35 f1.8 and my second is 85 f3.5 micro. From time to time I mount 50 f1.8. Once I had the fish eye I started dating it and trying to get creative. I got creative. I took great photos with this lens. As a food blogger I've used it for food, sushi looks especially good with fisheye and restaurant interiors. One thing, the lens allows you to get so close that I once hit it with food. The winter scenes are cool and the beach has some clear shots. The lens is solid and well made, with lots of glass and metal. It feels smooth and is well balanced on the D7K. Centering the horizon minimizes the fisheye effect, allowing you to capture stunning panoramic photos. The effect can be increased by tilting it up or down. I made my Mustang's grille look like it's smiling by getting the right perspective. The color is more intense around the edges and the blue sky looks like I used a polarizer which I like. All in all, this is an amazing lens and an interesting tool. If you buy it, make sure you use it often.
