    • So far, so good
Style: Nikon
But it hasn't been that far - just got the lens today and shot some quick test shots. The reason I'm writing this review (which I will update at another time with some specific remarks about the lens regarding quality, handling, etc.) is to clarify something that was making me crazy as I researched it. FYI, all of my tests were on a Nikon D750, but I see no reason this lens won't work on any of the Nikon's made in the past 5 years or so. This is a Nikon-compatible lens with an AE chip. It is strictly a manual focus lens (no auto-focus), and you can find lots of references to the fact that the AE chip will interface with your Nikon (as long as you're using in in A/M/S or P modes), and the viewfinder info bar will tell you when you're in focus as you turn the focus ring. You'll also be told that unless you set your aperture to F/22, you'll get an "EE" error. Ok, that's straightforward enough, and very true. :) Dig a little further, and you'll find references to the lens being recognized by the Nikon camera while in the A/M/S/P modes (also true), and the EXIF of the picture containing the lens information, along with other stuff, just like any other compatible lens (again, also true). Unfortunately... after that, you get a bunch of conflicting posts, reviews and information about controlling the aperture with the Nikon dial. Most tell you it doesn't do it at all, but changes the exposure based on the aperture setting you manually set on the lens. You may - if you're lucky - find one post that tells you it DOES set with the control dial. The truth is the latter - you DO control the aperture via the control dial when in A/S/M/P modes. :) So to sum it up - in A/S/M/P modes: 1) The CAMERA will tell you via the viewfinder when you're focused as you MANUALLY focus (no auto on this lens at all, which is fine given it's purpose) 2) The LENS will pass the proper EXIF data to the CAMERA (just like any other CPU-enabled lens) 3) You MUST set the aperture ring on F/22, or you WILL get a flashing EE error in your viewfinder 4) You CAN control the aperture via the front control dial All good news. :) The only thing I'm worried about with the lens so far is that there's no aperture lock on the lens. I have a Tokina 100m (Macro) lens which works exactly the same way (except it DOES have autofocus), and without the lock, I keep slipping the aperture ring out of position accidentally. That's probably not going to be a problem here, because the lens is so short that I'll likely keep my hand on the focus ring, unlike the Tokina which I grasp the barrel on to steady things up when shooting as a telephoto. So... so far, so good. I'll run some good tests in a few days, maybe do some focus testing, and see where this goes. :) ****************************** Update 3/8/2017 ****************************** This lens is EXCELLENT. Sharp, very sharp - easy to manage, and the images are precisely what they should be for a 12mm fish eye. I've been doing some image corrections with an Adobe-compatible plug-in, and I've gotten some very good results in terms of reducing the distortion while keeping the entire image in place... with little or no "smearing" at the edges and corners. (Imadio Hemi). Good purchase. Now all I need to do is go to some really wide areas and work this thing to the bone. :) ... show more

    • Initial Impressions: Built SOLID, great images
Style: Nikon
Just received this, and I will post a more thorough addendum later. There are a few immediate callouts. First, this lens is built very solid and, aesthetically, it is a first-class product. I saw some reviews elsewhere that described it as plasticky, and I disagree strongly with that assessment. The lens is smaller than you might think it would be, which means that it's actually quite dense -- similar to, for example, a classic Nikon 50mm Ai-S. The focus ring is very smooth and well-damped, and has an extremely long adjustment range. The glass is beautiful, and the lens cap has a nice snap-on feature. Initial thoughts about its performance... I have only played around with it briefly, but you can focus VERY close... almost touching your subject. The sharpness seems very good. It seems to meter just fine on a Nikon D750. As indicated in another review on here, you can indeed adjust your aperture using the front wheel on your camera, provided you set the physical aperture ring to f/22 (smallest setting). And the focus indicator works as expected. Don't forget to enter the Non-CPU lens data into your camera if you want the aperture readings to be accurate. It's a little bit odd that the Non-CPU lens focal length choices on a D750 don't include 12mm (I selected 13mm, which was closest). I doubt that matters much. Maybe it affects metering slightly? Maybe not. Need to do more reading to see what is up with that. On a full-frame camera, as you'd expect, there's indeed extreme (i.e. fisheye) distortion around the periphery. I took a look on an APS-C camera as well, and a lot of the most severe distortion is out of the field of view on crop sensor. Image quality I'll have to give you more feedback later, particularly after I have a chance to see what the Lightroom corrections do for it. But I am very encouraged, and quite happy with this purchase thus far. --- Addendum: I've done some more shooting on a crop sensor D500. It's a great lens. I've been doing some landscapes with it, and discovered a plugin to Photoshop called Fisheye-Hemi that can correct the distortion very effectively with minimal cropping, for when you want flat horizons. It works far better than lens profile corrections because it doesn't distort perspective. With that plugin, I'd say this lens becomes quite versatile. A bona fide ultra wide angle lens, not just a specialty tool. That's what I was hoping for, and I definitely can recommend it. ... show more

    • Super fishy!
Style: Sony E
This is a super sturdy, well built lens. I think the lens is a little TOO fisheye for me, although I haven't had the chance to put it to good use quite yet. There is no auto focus, but it fits full frame cameras without crop so that's nice. Really good camera for indoor photography if you want to capture small spaces, I wouldn't say so much for landscapes. It just creates too much distortion and the angle is just too wide to be useful for actually showing the magnitude of a space. I have been wanting to get out and shoot the stars but the season isn't right and the moon is in full swing now. It's a good lens with clear pictures (although no autofocus-not bad, but because the fisheye is so strong, makes it hard to focus). I really do like this lens, however and I can see it coming in handy when I want to get some unique shots, but right now I haven't had much use for it. If you're looking for a well-built, reasonably-priced fisheye lens, this is definitely your cup of tea. ... show more
