That's where I used to be?! How was it possible to shoot on the miserable Samyang 8mm (folk fish - cheap and cheerful), and even changing 4 copies in search of the least soapy and comatose! Nikon is Nikon - this small but brutal "plug" with a record MDF 2cm simply breaks the template with its sharpness and the ability to shoot unique macro angles. Its dimensions on the Sony NEX camera allow you to put it inside many interesting places - for example, a computer system unit, a cabinet showcase, inside a grand piano, a piano - in short, where a camera with larger optics will not physically fit. For comparison - Samyang 8mm MDF 30cm, it is large and wide - such tricks are not possible with it. This is a Must have fish for all croppers - but in full frame it is also not bad in crop mode 1.5 on D8XX It is not clear why Nikon has not yet released an ated version from 2.8. This lens, years later, became available at a flea market at prices up to 15 thousand Photos taken by me on Sony NEX 3N and a3500 via K&F Nikon G-NEX adapter
