The new lens has three (extra) low dispersion and two aspherical elements. Optics: 15 elements in 13 groups which is much more than the 8/5 of the 16/2.8D. The old 16/2.8D fixed focal is much smaller at 57 x 63mm with lens hood. The lens hood adds another 11mm in length and has a diameter of 96mm. This is par for the course for a modern lens. x length): 78 x 83mm (3.1 x 3.3in) without lens hood at its shortest length which is at 10mm focal length. I’ll compare it mostly with Nikon’s only other full-frame fisheye, the 16/2.8D. I’ve rated the features with a (or ), when it’s better than average or even state of the art, a if it’s standard or just average, and if there’s a disadvantage. So if you’re shopping for a fisheye lens, you’ve come to the right place!Īs usual I’ll have a look at the technical data first.

To find out how the new Nikon 8-15mm f3.5-4.5E ED fisheye performs I tested it against Nikon’s own 10.5/2.8G DX and 16/2.8D fisheye lenses plus Tokina’s AT-X 10-17/3.5-4.5 AF DX NH fisheye on the demanding D810 body.

This makes the gold-ringed lens fit Nikon’s line-up of professional lenses and they charge accordingly: 1250 USD / 1500 EUR is the list-price for this new zoom. Nikon equipped its new lens with an electromagnetic diaphragm mechanism, nano crystal coat plus fluorine coating on the front and rear lens elements for easier cleaning, and also hardened the lens barrel with additional sealing against dust and moisture. Announced in April 2017, it fills a gap in Nikon’s lineup of lenses as up to now Nikon only offers its 10.5/2.8G DX fisheye and the 16/2.8D FX fisheye.
The only thing you cannot do with it is to project a circular image on a DX-sensor: for that you’d need a 5.5mm fisheye lens. So this zoom covers effectively three separate fixed-focal fisheye lenses. It has an angle of view of 180 degrees and projects a circular image at 8mm on a full-frame sensor, completely covers a DX-sensor at 11mm, and completely covers a full-frame sensor at 15mm.
The Nikon 8-15mm f3.5-4.5E ED fisheye is a 1.9x super wide-angle zoom. Alternatively get yourself a copy of my In Camera book or treat me to a coffee! Thanks! Buy it now! Check prices on the Nikon 8-15mm Fisheye at Amazon, B&H, Adorama, Wex. Add a quite and reliable focus and a moderate size and weight and you get a package that clearly earns a Highly Recommended. Yes, the lens has its price but it effectively replaces three fixed focal fisheye lenses and thus is the most versatile tool. But most importantly: the optical performance is very convincing topping that of both Nikon fixed focal fisheyes as well as the fisheye zoom from Tokina. It is well-sealed against the elements, puts away with the mechanical aperture coupling and adds dirt-repellent fluorine coating on the front and rear lens elements. It is also the only fisheye from Nikon that can auto-focus on D3x00 and D5x00 bodies. This combination was not available for Nikon shooters before.
Canon objektiv fisheye manual#
That makes the FD one of the most extensive series of manual focus lenses ever made.Summary This is a unique lens for Nikon DSLRs: it's a fisheye, it's a zoom and it goes down to 8mm focal length producing fully circular images on full-frame/FX bodies. In its 21 years of production, Canon made 134 different lenses for the FD mount, ranging from 7.5mm to 1200mm in 17 different focal lengths and 19 zoom ranges. It endured until 1990 with the release of the Canon T60, the last FD mount camera, and ended with production of the Canon New F-1 in 1992. It was the interchangeable lens mounting system for Canon SLR cameras until 1987, when the Canon EOS series came out. According to Wikipedia, the FD mount was introduced by Canon Japan in March, 1971 alongside the Canon F-1 camera. If your FD mount camera is still missing a great lens, or you’ve been thinking of adding one (or two) to your arsenal, we suggest keeping an eye out for these lenses.Īs always, let’s touch base on a little something about this popular Canon mount.
