Very suitable.

is a really good lens and I like that it is sharp over the whole frame including the corners. What I don't like is that the ring you turn to focus the lens doesn't affect the outcome of the image. I wonder what happens when I use it to photograph things in the distance, or if something is out of focus, what will I do to bring it into focus?

Pros
  • Delivery was very fast
Cons
  • Negative impression

I need this niche lens but for anyone wanting to do the same - I bought it to use with my Nikon D850 to use Create HDRI for VFX/CG (with PTGui). I'm also a professional photographer and have a lot of experience with lenses and this lens is amazingly sharp for the price, although I would never use it for anything other than creating spheres for my CG work. I'm removing 1 star because the infinity focus is off and the infinity is actually a significant distance from the actual marker on the watch

Pros
  • A few competitors
Cons
  • Minor issues

Having looked at other reviews, I would like to emphasize that this is a fully manual lens - no auto focus and no auto iris. The benefit of not having those frills is that the lens is extremely affordable and compact, especially for a fisheye. The lens is particularly good for videos, where autofocus and autoiris aren't that important anyway. Advantages: - Low price. - Clear image. - Durable metal body. - Pretty light for a fish eye. Hood is detachable. Cons: - The F-mount pin tends to get…

Quality lens at a bargain price

When I received this lens I was immediately impressed with the build quality. The focus ring is oily and can be rotated with one finger but doesn't wobble. The aperture ring rotates smoothly and makes a pleasant click when switching between apertures. Note: This is a MANUAL lens, meaning you manually set focus and aperture on your lens and ISO and shutter speed on your camera. . If you're not familiar with it, maybe it's time to learn it. I think the lens is great for taking pictures and the…

  • Easy-to-read control panel
Cons
  • The list will be long.

Great inexpensive lens!

I want to start with this for people looking at this lens and maybe not reading the full reviews. all in this lens. You must shoot in manual "M" mode or your camera will tell you the lens is not attached. This is 100% user error. I like shooting old N/AI lenses with my Nikon D7500 and shooting manually with my AF lenses, so this lens is perfect for my shooting style. Handheld photography is awesome and I recommend anyone serious about photography to explore their camera's M mode. I'd like to…

Pros
  • Good product for the price
Cons
  • Will do
