Great lens, big, take it.

This lens is amazing. I was afraid to buy it thinking it might be a one trick pony (how many photos of fish eye dog noses do I need?). I was wrong. I use this lens for so many things. This is one of my most used lenses and takes exceptional pictures.

Pros
  • 17 elements in 15 groups reduce aberrations, 3 Super ED lenses, 2 ED lenses reduce peripheral chromatic aberration
Cons
  • Functionality

Fisheye sees everything!

Forgive my hilarious and grammatically incorrect title, this lens was fantastic for capturing the entire night sky. The attached image was taken yesterday and the bright lights are from downtown Seattle. Tons of light pollution, but this lens still captured the stars accurately.

Pros
  • ZERO lens coating effectively minimizes ghosting and flare
Cons
  • There are flaws

I shouldn't love this lens as much as I do!

This could be quite a long review. Disclaimer: I had a 4/3 SLR in 2006 and wanted a Panasonic 8mm. 3.5. It had autofocus and was a fisheye! I was a student at the time and could never justify it. This lens completes a journey that began when I longed for a Panasonic. One of the great things about Micro Four Thirds is that adjustable manual focus lenses (both standard and custom mounts) are available and affordable! In 2013 I bought a Rokinon/Samyang/Bower f3.5 7.5mm lens for my MFT camera; it…

Pros
  • Minimum working distance 2.5 cm from the end of the lens
Cons
  • It's hard to remember, but it was

Undistorted fisheye view for Micro 4/3rds

If you've heard of cropping, you know you can capture more than you're saving. That alone should tell you the value of an ultra wide angle lens. Don't like fisheye distortion? Cut it out! At least you get your photo. Let me show you some photos taken with this lens and the OM-D E-M1. They were all shot in a matter of hours on a beautiful warm blue winter's day when the rest of the country was freezing. We start at Westfield Mall in Century City. It is being renovated. Entire regions were…

Pros
  • Quiet autofocus for video and photo compatibility
Cons
  • unreliable
