Description of ๐Ÿ“ท Panasonic Lumix G Fisheye Lens, 8mm, F3.5, Micro Four Thirds, H-F008 - USA Black: A High-Quality Mirrorless Option

8mm / F3.5 offers a diagonal angle of view of 180 degrees for both photos and HD movies; equivalent to 16mm on a full-frame camera. Ten lenses in nine groups; adoption of an ED lens achieves a stable descriptive performance from close-up to infinity. Closest focusing distance is as short as 0.1m; inner focus system enables a long working distance. Seven blades give the aperture a rounded shape that produces an attractively smooth effect in out-of-focus areas when shooting at larger aperture settings. Compatible with Panasonic Micro Four Thirds format digital cameras.

I am very happy with this purchase, I will advise everyone!

Average price: - In the secondary market: about 25-30 thousand. - New from the store: 45-55 thousand. Thus, the Panasonic 8mm f/3.5 (H-F008E) is by far the best value for your money (in terms of buying on the secondary market) - the cheapest and highest quality solution for buying an ultra wide-angle lens,compared to other solutions on the micro4/ 3. Any questions? Meet me at .

Pros
  • The Panasonic 8mm f/3.5 lens (H-F008E) is, in my opinion, perhaps the best Fish-eye lens in every respect for a modern micro4/3 (Micro Four Thirds) system. The lens gives a unique, original and inimitable pattern. The shots of concert and extreme filming will be very interesting. If you correct the perspective, then the pictures turn into a full-fledged wide-angle lens with corrected distortion. That is, it is not just a specific assistant, but also a serious compact tool for the photographer. It is the smallest, autofocus, lightest, most modern lens available on today's Olympus and Panasonic compact mirrorless cameras. By purchasing this lens, you will solve problems with autofocus, the lens is so small that it will fit in your pocket and of course you will bypass problems with autofocus through an adapter from an older 4/3 system. By the way, a native adapter costs from 6 thousand on the secondary and 12 thousand new (MMF-3). Advantages of this lens over: - Olympus 8mm F1.8 Pro (micro4/3) - this lens is 2 times larger and heavier due to the metal + because of the smaller depth of field there is a possibility of out of focus + price. - Olympus 8mm F3.5 (4/3) - this lens is huge + you need an adapter (preferably native - it's expensive). On the secondary, the lens costs 19-20 thousand + buying an adapter will cost 6-12 thousand. The total cost will be 25-32 thousand for a larger and heavier version with an adapter - there can be no talk of any compactness. Plus slower autofocus due to the adapter. - Samyang lenses - do not have autofocus - a cheap solution, but NOT for professional work, because. in terms of speed, they cannot be compared with autofocus lenses.
Cons
  • - no dust and moisture protection. - On Olympus cameras, autofocus is not always stable in low light conditions.

Super compact fisheye

I rarely use this lens, but it never fails to impress. It's so small there's no excuse to leave it at home! If you don't care about the auto focus, you can buy Samyang's manual focus version and save a few bucks. But I bought it and I love it.

Pros
  • New
Cons
  • Slightly torn

Small sharp lens ideal for underwater use in case

I bought this dive lens with an Olympus E-PL5 in a Nauticam case and dome port. If you think about it, this lens will make you very happy. I got great shots with it, sharp edge to edge, everything in focus, even objects an inch or two in front of the port.

Pros
  • Good thing

Panasonic Fisheye Lens for Lumix G Cameras

All the warnings in other reviews regarding the unique take on this type of lens are spot on. I also have these lenses for my Nikon, Canon and Pentax cameras. I started with a 35mm Pentax 67 fisheye lens and used it extensively for decades. I was even traveling around Europe and one day my Canon 15mm fisheye lens was the only optics for the trip. Thanks to various software applications to change the shooting geometry, the fisheye lens has become one of the most expressive lens types imaginable.

Pros
  • Great Construction
Cons
  • Crumpled Packaging

Great lens but not for everyone (update)

This is a great lens but niche at the same time. The construction of this lens is first class. It is very similar to the Panasonic 7-14mm f/4.0 Micro Four Thirds lens for Panasonic DSLRs. The lens is very small and light for a fisheye lens. Panasonic claims it's the world's smallest lens. This lens is characterized by its incredibly wide field of view and the clean, distorted look that gives the lens its fisheye name. There are 3 types of wide angle lenses: Panasonic Ultra Wide Angle Straightโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Good product for the price
Cons
  • weak
