I am very pleased with this lens. Great price. Understanding this is a manual lens, it takes a little more understanding of the camera and photography technique, it takes great photos. Images are very sharp. The lens looks and feels like quality. Would recommend. Fun for unique photos.

I am using this lens on my M-3 with the EVF-DC1 finder. It pushes the boundaries when the 11-22 is just not wide enough. I also have a pair of M-5s and thought I would put it on one of them but since I wear glasses the DC1 finder allows me to see the level and focus zebras which is most important for this fisheye. I am posting a selfie I took in my painting studio using the wireless remote, note the distortion, it works for me.

Great bargain!

I bought this last year during the pandemic, and since I typically film local brass bands, there hasn't really been an opportunity to break it out. The last couple of weeks have been the first time, and I'm thrilled. The lens feels sturdy and solid. Image quality is nice and sharp-- on a MFT it's a 15mm equivalent so it winds up being more of an ultrawide-- the distortion is there and it adds a little 'je ne sai quois' to the image, but it's not really pronounced. For my purposes it's really wonderful to be able to get in close and still fit pretty much a whole band of 15-18 performers into frame, and they love it too. I don't know how well this would work for still photography (probably great, but I don't know yet) but for video work it's excellent and at $139 a heck of a great deal! Very satisfied.

Best Bang For The Buck

This little lens is devastatingly underrated. It's compact, sharp, and built like a tank. It's also quite stylish when mounted to my Fujifilm X-T2 and X-T3. The focus ring is nicely dampened and turns smoothly. The aperture ring turns smoothly as well, although I'd prefer a clicked aperture ring. Since the lens is so compact, it's extremely easy to turn both rings by mistake. Like other fisheye lenses, you CAN NOT mount a filter in the front or rear of this lens. The lens hood is solid metal and perfectly protects the giant front element. The lens cap is nice too. A push on style cap that slides over the hood. Be sure not to lose it, because it isn't easily replaced. Here's a sample taken with my Fujifilm X-T2. Shot at ISO 200 f/5.6

Great lens

Great Fisheye

Great Lens has very vibrant colors This is my first fisheye and it has already given me great photos for my store's brand. Easy smooth focus. Very easy to accidentally get your fingers in the shot while focusing but that is to be expected with a fisheye. The lens has great picture quality and I haven't found any issues or limitations yet.

Fun lens!

What a great lens. It's really creative and completely manual, requiring you to take extra time to set up shots. It was a whiz in Europe for older buildings, and makes old cars look spectacular. I really want to shoot a skateboard-type video with it. Highly recommended!

Will this lens work with Sony a7iii

Will this lens work with Sony a7iii
Asked by: Tanveer
I have this lens with a Sony A7III, and as the B&H Staff person said, there is very heavy vignetting in normal full frame mode. I programmed one of my custom buttons to switch the camera into APSC mode and the vignetting disappears (APSC mode crops the image, so the total number of pixels drops, but the image is very usable). Manually focusing a fish-eye lens is a bit challenging (especially in lower light), but when you get the focus right, the images are great and the fish-eye effect is very striking. The field of view is so wide you have to be careful not to have your fingers in frame as they rest at the edge of the lens! I figured that the very low price was worth the gamble, and I'm happy with my purchase. I don't shoot many fish-eye shots, but it's small, light and cheap enough to throw in my bag for occasional use.

The artisans Photoelectric 7.5mm f/2.8 II Fisheye Lens for Sony E is not a full frame lens. It will work on the a7ii. But it will crop by about 1.5 times and you will loose a lot of resolution. Or if not set to APS-C you will get a lot of vignette.

The answer is technically yes. This lens will physically fit on your Sony but it is designed for the cropped sensor/APS-C cameras, which will result in the camera automatically cropping in and losing resolution because of it.

How does this work with full frame Z cameras, the Z9 in particular?
Asked by: James
The Nikon z7.5mm f2.9 II fisheye lens is a Z mount lens and while it will mount and work on the z9 - because the z9 is full frame it will not cover the full sensor. A full frame lens would be a better choice for the full frame cameras. APSC lenses like the 7.5mm Nikon would best be used on APSC size sensor cameras.
