Nikon AF-S FISHEYE NIKKOR 10.5mm f/2.8G IF ED

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 This resulted in the full-frame fisheye lens, which was developed with less emphasis on scientific applications and more on photographic applications. The Fish-eye-Takumar 18mm f/11, released by Asahi Optical Co., Ltd. in 1963, was the first full-frame fisheye lens. The release of this lens led other manufacturers to also develop and release full-frame fisheye lenses. Fully prepared, Nikon, which came to offer the most fisheye lenses, finally released the full-frame fisheye Fisheye-Nikkor 16mm f/3.5. Nikon's history with full-frame fisheye lenses then continues to the AF Fisheye-Nikkor 16mm f/2.8D. III. Development history and the designer With the first hypothesis, where the subject is a dome-shaped object plane, a solution in terms of aberration is easily deduced with a normal focusing system. However, does this really make for a fisheye lens with good rendering? As a photographic lens, shouldn't it be based on a flat object? No matter how much I considered this question at the time, I could not reach a clear decision about which was correct. I asked my boss, Mr. Aono, to investigate with trial production of both types. This was the beginning of development of a fisheye lens with which performance at close distances was emphasized more than with any previous lens.

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. Briefly, the lens has two concave lens elements to reduce the 180-degree view, a cemented lens to correct the resulting aberration, and a 5-element convex lens group consisting of a turret-type filter, stop, and a concave lens group to resolve the image onto the film. Even by today's standards this is a very rational lens layout, and Nikon fisheye lenses since have following this basic design. In the age of rangefinder cameras, the refractive power arrangement of lenses utilized a "symmetrical lens" structure that was nearly symmetrical. This symmetrical lens structure provides better compensation for distortion and curvature of field than does the retrofocus structure. However, if we consider the common projection formula (y=f·tan θ) with fisheye lenses, excessive negative distortion is generated. Therefore, it can be said that the retrofocus structure is the optimal structure for fisheye lenses. Most buyers found the Rokinon to be excellent for the price and loved its contrast, sharpness, and color saturation. Users were impressed with its build quality and stated that it had a great edge to edge and center sharpness.Digitally optimized, the Sigma 15mm primarily stands out to us because of the exaggerated perspective it offers. The distortion aberration and minimum shooting distance of 5.9 inches enable photographers to capture truly creative images, while the innovative multi-layer coating technology reduces ghosting and flare. The 180-degree angle of view further creates stunning image expressions that can only be seen through a camera lens. Point image formation is good at the center of the frame and little flare is visible. However, points closer to frame peripheries tend to exhibit slight flare in the sagittal direction. Though the amount of flare is low for a fisheye lens, I think that better results would be achieved with astrophotography by stopping down the aperture one or two stops. V. Considering the relationship between the object plane and the image plane

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. aspherical lens elements and 3 ED glass elements reduce color fringing and chromatic aberration, delivering stunning contrast and sharpnessNext let's find the lens with the widest angle of view that was actually manufactured. Which do you think it was? It should be noted that this was the world's first fisheye lens for which the close-range correction system ("floating element" design) was adopted. We'll go into the reasons the close-range correction system had not been considered with previous fisheye lenses later. The result, however, was a consistently high level of sharpness in images captured at shooting distances of infinity to extremely close up. 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 It seems that the subject field curves farther away as you leave the center. IN other words, focus on something a few feet away in the center, and the distant objects at the sides will be in better focus.

What we Love...

The maximum aperture is f/5.6, which is a rather small aperture, but the image resolution is extremely sharp even to image corners. It has no focusing mechanism, and the focal length is a short 10mm, so there is no out-of-focus even with close objects. The image will be adequately sharp up through about 50cm (1.6 ft.) from the lens even at maximum aperture. Lens hoods are more prominent in long focus lenses because they have a smaller viewing angle than that of wide-angle lenses. For wide angle lenses, the length of the hood cannot be as long as those for telephoto lenses, as a longer hood would enter the wider field of view of the lens. Here are some shots I’ve taken with this lens, and you can find my detailed hands-on review here. I took this photo with a Nikon AF-S 8-15mm f/3.5-4.5E ED fisheye zoom lens on a Nikon D850 @ 15 mm and ƒ / 4.5. I took this photo with a Nikon AF-S 8-15mm f/3.5-4.5E ED fisheye zoom lens on a Nikon D850 @ 8 mm and ƒ / 5.6. I took this photo with a Nikon AF-S 8-15mm f/3.5-4.5E ED fisheye zoom lens on a Nikon D850 @ 15 mm and ƒ / 4.5. I took this photo with a Nikon AF-S 8-15mm f/3.5-4.5E ED fisheye zoom lens on a Nikon D850 @ 15 mm and ƒ / 5.6. One-point lines (approximately five pixels) aligned to the image center help identify the exact center. Not to brag, but I designed the Ai AF Fisheye-Nikkor 16mm f/2.8D when I was just 28 years old. At that time, I became interested in the depth of fisheye lenses, and was put in charge of development of the lens with the switch to AF.

This also means, however, that dust and marks on the front lens will show up clearly in the image, so you must protect the front lens against dust and damage. This is the same for all wide-angle lenses with large front lens, not only fisheyes, but at any rate cover the lens when not in use, and carry a blower with you at all times. Work to keep it clean. Slip-in holder allows the use of neutral density filters and color gels for customization of exposure and white balance The orthographic projection OP Fisheye, on the other hand (Fig. 2.), resolves the celestial image onto the film. Consistent rendering is achieved throughout the entire frame, but the effects of diffraction cause resolution to appear somewhat reduced. Sept 12: Fujifilm has announced a new medium format mirrorless camera: Fujifilm GFX 100 II. There are three new lenses alongside it, a GF 55mm f/1.7R WR and two new tilt-shift lenses.

Although the Best Nikon D5100 Fisheye Lens: Nikon AF FX Fisheye-NIKKOR 16mm f/2.8Dis incredibly sharp across the entire frame, its performance in low-light conditions is what truly sets it apart from its competitors. The extremely wide angle of view combined with the large f/2.8 aperture enables users to capture sharp photos in incredibly low lighting. This further makes the unit ideal for dimly lit interiors, where using a longer lens would be extremely difficult. If sharpness is the goal, better results would likely be achieved at an aperture setting of f/8 to f/11. Ideal for video work and still photography, the NIKKOR 8-15mm is designed for advanced creators and photographers. Compatible with DX-format cameras, the unit offers a unique point-of-view, making it perfect for extreme wide-angle uses. It further enables photographers to develop a dramatic emphasis on their subject, making it ideal for interior shots of temples and cathedrals, and for capturing wide-open spaces. Almost all buyers loved the NIKKOR 16mm and had a lot of fun using it. They found it to be extremely fast and were impressed with its image quality, with one user even stating that it added great artistic opportunities. While customers liked its lightweight design, they were disappointed with the poor quality of the lens cover.
