Very impressed with Digital Goja

I recently came across Digital Goja and honestly wish I had found them sooner, if only for the fact that they are pretty much local to me in South Florida. The fisheye lens arrived on time, well packaged and looks exactly as it should. I still have a lot to learn with this lens so I honestly can't give a final verdict. However, this is a MANUAL lens so all the adjustments need to be made by yourself and the great thing is that Digital Goja has a great YouTube video that talks about what to expect from the lens and HOW. Use it on any type of camera. I took a few shots with it and they seemed to be as sharp as I expected, but I need to learn fisheye techniques before I can get the full value of the lens. Although for me the purpose of this particular lens was to really see if Fisheye was worth exploring further. Buying a Canon Fisheye costs a lot of money. Altura clearly chose to put a decent glass on the cheapest possible mount (no electronics) which I think is a great idea and allows me to indulge in this extreme form of photography.

Pros
  • Great for me
Cons
  • Short manual
