Worthy for the money.

I think fisheye is usually pretty useless, but this is the trick I love. As with most fisheye lenses, there's some distortion and vignetting blur around the edges, but it's not as bad as pricier models. Much of this can be corrected manually in Camera Raw or Lightroom, but there are no presets and no Exif data yet. At f2.8 it's fast enough to take some astrophotos. I've used this on my A7r3 in crop mode and on my a6000. In general I am satisfied with the purchase. I bought mine on sale for…

Pros
  • I hold my fists
Cons
  • Prize piggy bank

Great lens for the price

This is a manual lens, meaning you need to set the aperture and focus manually. It's also APS-C. On my full frame Sony a7 I have to set the sensor to APS-C in which it works great. It also works fine on my a6300. I enlarged a few photos to check for distortion or aberrations in the corners and found the glass to be of good quality.

Pros
  • Ideal for outdoor activities
Cons
  • No mold required

Not bad for the price, but I probably won't buy again.

The lens worked perfectly the first time, I was even surprised it worked at all. But after some thought and testing I found that this is still an overpriced product at $140. For 1st cost - you can find cheaper but not by much. And they're pretty much the same.2. The mount is specially designed for the E-Mout, the good thing is that you don't have to look for a suitable adapter. Cons: (To be clear, I know it's cheap, I know I shouldn't, and I'm not asking much. Judging by the $140 cost)1. Lens…

Pros
  • Very good value
Cons
  • Not everyone is happy with it
