Product Information

An ultra-wide-angle lens that creates an extremely wide panoramic view, fisheyes have plenty of visual distortion. To put this unit to good use, it’s essential that you fully understand its strengths and weaknesses. Pros The best way to use a fisheye lens is just to experiment, explore, and have fun with a unique perspective. Nevertheless, here are some additional tips that can help you make the most out of your model: Use Distortion Effectively Vignetting is the darkening of the corners of an image relative to the center of the image. There are three types of vignetting: optical, mechanical, and natural vignetting.

The aberration characteristics of this lens are unique. There is very little spherical aberration, and curvature of field is exceptionally flat. When the aperture is stopped down to f/4-5.6, sharpness increases from the center of the frame to the edges. With the exception of extreme edges, a satisfactory level of sharpness is achieved throughout the frame. f/8 to f/11 Slip-in holder allows the use of neutral density filters and color gels for customization of exposure and white balance

The Nikon AF-S 8-15mm f/3.5-4.5E ED is a two-in-one fisheye lens that caters to both needs

With orthographic projection lenses, the area occupied by the plane source in the image is proportional to its brightness at the object. In simple terms, the OP Fisheye has a larger central image than other fisheye lenses, and the image at the periphery is smaller. On an FX body, the 8mm end gives a circular fisheye in the center of the frame. At 15mm, it fills the frame. The circular fisheye look isn’t something I need often, but dedicated fisheye enthusiasts will appreciate the flexibility, as well as the ability to switch easily between FX and DX bodies.

While the lenses themselves all support autofocus, there are some combinations of camera body and lens that won’t support autofocus. An example us putting the 10.5mm on a Nikon D3500. The lens will work, but it will have to be focused manually. [ ↩] If you need an affordable diagonal fisheye lens, then the Sigma is a perfect choice. Designed with a gel filter holder, the unit is ideal for filmmakers who experience difficulty with high native ISOs. It can also be used for wedding photography to give a more artistic look, scenic photography, and underwater photography.Image B was captured with the trial product not equipped with the close-range correction mechanism, and offering flatter curvature of field. Which image do you think is better? The difference was clear. Consideration of flat plane to flat plane wins. The front aspherical lens of the OP Fisheye, as evident from Fig. 3. and the photo of OP Fisheye-Nikkor 10mm f/5.6, are visibly aspherical. An external viewfinder DF-1 is used to frame the shot, and this is the same finder as used with the 7.5mm f/5.6 lens. Even if you look through this finder, however, you cannot see the unique image created by the OP Fisheye. When you first try it, you will be quite surprised at the difference between what you see in the viewfinder and what you see on the film. It takes a little time to get the hang of.
