Review 1 of 2

Price Paid:  $300.00 from Ecker Luzern

Summary:
Nice lens even though I don't use it very often; useful on some occasions (indoor / party). Can be used even at full aperture and with the built-in flash e. g. of a Dynax 9. The photos seem to be very sharp - not only because the optical performance, but also due to the large angle

Strengths:
heavy metal ;-)

Weaknesses:
none

Review 2 of 2

Summary:
This is an optically superb lense. The full frame fisheye can get a little gimicky if it is over or incorrectly used. I always take it with me when I do my travel photography and while it doesn't get much use some of the shots over the years have been stunning. Most of my interior shots are taken wide open.

Strengths:
Very sharp,low flare, excellent color balance.

Weaknesses:
none
