    • An undistorted review of Fisheye for Micro 4/3rds

If you've heard about "cropping" you know it means you can photograph more than what you intend to keep. That alone should guide you on the value of a super wide-angle lens. Don't like fisheye distortion? Crop it out! At least you'll have gotten your photo. Let me share some photos with you taken with this lens and an OM-D E-M1. They were all taken within a few hours on a beautiful, warm, blue-sky Winter day while the rest of the country was freezing in. We'll start with the Westfield Mall in Century City. It's undergoing renovation. Whole areas have been demolished. The first photo is a view into where some of the mall has gone missing, fisheye and all. I was in motion when this photo was taken, heading down an escalator. Earlier that morning I was standing in the middle of the famous Rodeo Drive. The second photo is what it looked like to have both the Women's and Men's Marathon winners (the leading woman, the most illuminated man) captured in the same exposure as they raced down this palm-lined street. Do you see me in the photo, too? That's fisheye, for you. This photo is a crop. By the way, to get this photo approved by Amazon so it could be shown to you, I had to paint out the truck's license plate, a sign on the side of the truck, and a bib number. If you cannot tell this photo is sharp, know that Amazon can. Moving on to the third photo, I've cropped again. This time I show some narrowed depth of field with one of the disabled bicycle racers. He had already been overtaken by runners, but did it matter? Look how happy he is to be at Mile 17 in Beverly Hills! Again, a bib number had to be obscured for Amazon's approval to share this photo with you. My last example, also a crop and also with obscured bib numbers, is a photo of one of the runners giving us the thumbs-up and some California warmth. I was very close to the action. As runners came toward me they exploded in size in the viewfinder. I've had a full-frame manual fisheye before, and it worked great for photographing static scenes. In these examples, subjects darted at me - and they weren't going to circle back to give me a second chance! I was able to concentrate on framing each shot, choosing what would be in focus, experimenting with perspective (I was prone on the asphalt in that last photo!), and choosing the moment of shutter release. I had already manually set shutter speed to freeze motion, so that left manual exposure override as my last-moment adjustment (for example, I'm looking into the sky in that last photo). This lens had to open wide to honor the shutter speed setting, and it cooperated well with the camera to preserve focus. My thoughts were immersed in the aesthetic decisions of photo taking while this lens and camera took care of the fast-changing adjustments. You learn five lessons from these examples: if Amazon can make out the details in a photo and doesn't like what it sees, it will reject display of the photos; even at such wide angle, this lens takes sharp enough photos for Amazon to read license plates and bib numbers; there is no law that forces you to keep a fisheye's distortion in your final photo; being able to observe the entire scene in the viewfinder while wanting to photograph only a part of what you see makes taking nearby action shots easier to frame and to time; and this lens works well with a companion Olympus body (I'll leave to others to describe performance on a Panasonic body). It's easy to get legacy glass to work with Micro 4/3rds camera bodies. All that glass effectively becomes more telephoto. You have to purchase a fisheye lens made for Micro 4/3rds to get that wide a view. If you're going to do it, you can choose between a manual fisheye lens; a fisheye lens with smaller aperture; and this lens. I've already taken photos I couldn't have as easily taken with a manual fisheye lens. I've already experienced high shutter speeds while getting proper exposure. Ask yourself, why am I considering this lens? If you want to take photos of static tableaus with your camera perched on a tripod, you have a lot of options. If you want to hand-hold your camera and catch the moment, you have expensive tastes, my friend. Expensive tastes in aesthetics, that is. You may need this lens to express yourself. ... show more

This has the potential to be a quite long review. Disclaimer: I had a four thirds SLR back in 2006 and wanted the Panasonic 8mm 3.5. It had autofocus and was a fisheye! I was a college student at the time and could never justify it. This lens completes a journey that started when I lusted after the Panasonic. One of the beautiful things about Micro Four Thirds is that manual focus adaptable lenses are available (both in native and non-native mounts) and are affordable! I bought the 7.5mm Rokinon/Samyang/Bower f3.5 lens for my MFT camera in 2013; it was amazing! I started to shoot 360 panoramas with ease (and as few as 5 or 6 shots!). It was a brilliant, artsy, small, solid lens that was also affordable! It was built like a tank! I felt that I could drop my camera and the lens would absolutely survive - but it was manual focus. I kept the Rokinon, enjoying fisheye photography and missing a shot or two every now and then because scale focusing is pretty difficult with that lens. But I loved it! On to the Olympus! As a proper "grown-up" I was recently able to justify the mammoth purchase of the Olympus 8mm f1.8! Yes, 1.8! My biggest fear going in was that it would only be marginally better than the Rokinon, and I would feel that I've spent $800+ on an incremental improvement. On paper my fears are quite justified; in reality, there's nothing to fear as the user experience more than makes up for it! First thing: This lens is larger, and heavier than the Rokinon. This is obviously a disadvantage, however the second point more than makes up for it! Secondly: The Olympus has a f1.8 aperture. On an 8mm lens, the shallow depth of field problem (yes, it's a problem despite what full frame zealots will have you believe) is not that big of a deal. For instance, at f1.2, the Panasonic Nocticron is basically unusable for anything other than a straight on studio shot if you're closer than 10 feet. There's just nothing in focus! But on this 1.8 fisheye, there's a lot of stuff in focus even at 8-10 feet close. Also, f1.8 is insanely fast/bright for a fisheye. I can basically shoot an indoor panorama at ISO 400 instead of ISO 1600 - that is significant on a (comparatively) noisy MFT sensor. Thirdly: Autofocus (especially when it's this quick) is an amazing asset on an fisheye! It simply changes the way you use the lens. I can now get shots of cats for my local rescue using the fisheye - near impossible with the Rokinon, due to the skittish nature of a foster cat in a cage, and the not quite ample f3.5 aperture of the Rokinon. Bright, high-key ISO 200 in-focus shots of my kids are now possible. Kids never sit completely still, and you always need to re-set the focus right before the shot - Olympus' autofocus in this lens handles it easily. I almost never lose a great shot because it's soft. It's a common problem to forget the Rokinon set to 0.25m and then try to take a landscape shot; I've lost far too many to that sort of issue, and it's simply not a problem anymore. Finally: It's built like a tank and weather-sealed. OK, the weather-sealing is a weird point because I don't have a weather-sealed body, and I'm not letting water splash my $800+ lens, but it's nice to have. However, it's a very tough lens with a great feeling focus ring. I work at a user experience design agency. Our day-to-day job is to think of how the user feels when using a web site, or when going through the registration process and entrance of a conference/workshop. When I use this lens I simply feel like it is right, and all that is left to do it to frame the shot, and grab the moment. Sometimes I de-fish it (partially) in Lightroom, but other times it stays with its full fisheye perspective. This lens it NOT the most practical lens, but more often that not, my favorite shots are made with it. ... show more

Forgive my hilariously and grammatically incorrect headline, this lens has been fantastic for getting the entire night sky. The attached shot is from yesterday and the bright lights are from downtown Seattle. Tons of light pollution but this lens still accurately caught the stars.

Style: 8mm f1.8
I have to be honest, at first I wasn't sure if I liked this lens but it was only because I hadn't had time to really test it out. I have to say after a weekend of using it, I fell in love. This is a great lens for landscape, cityscape, and nighttime sky photography which is mostly what I shoot. In fact, it has become my standard lens for landscapes and handles dark lighting beautifully with the f1.8. The distortion of the fish eye can make for some fun and interesting shots in everyday settings as well. I would definitely recommend this to any photographer doing this type of photography. ... show more

    • Only down side is the pics look so good I'm afraid I will over sue it
Style: 8mm f1.8
First Fish eye lens I have purchased and it is well worth the money and wait. Solid build. Been waiting for a fisheye in 2.8 or lower and this one delivers. So far I have only shot one gig with it and some limited landscape shots. Only down side is the pics look so good I'm afraid I will over sue it. Sometimes too much of a good thing is not so great. If you are on the fence about the price then you already know what your looking at. Take the plunge and get ready to capture the shots in low light that everyone else is missing. ... show more

    • Fun lens!
Style: 8mm f1.8
Probably not a lens I'll use everyday but sure love the end result. Very sharp, just fun to play with. Also I appreciate the lens hood and it's design, it fits over the lens which protrudes a little and also the small lens hood. Also, the lens it self is very compact.
