Product Description

The Vivitar 7mm SERIES 1 Fisheye Lens is an excellent addition to any photographer's collection, giving users the ability to expand their creativity and capture incredible scenes from a truly unique perspective.

This lens, when used with cameras with an APS-C image sensor, creates images with an expanded perspective, including images with a creatively deformed outlook and a sharp pan focus that extends throughout the entire frame. By offering a 180-degree angle of view, this fisheye lens can be used to create amazing image expressions that cannot be seen by the human eye, such as exaggerated perspective and distortion. The minimum shooting distance (just 12 inches) and large depth of field also provide amazing close-up shots.

In addition, this lens incorporates the latest optical multi-coating techniques. The process of multi-coating assures virtually flare-free photographs even under adverse lighting conditions, resulting in crisp, high-contrast pictures.

CAN I USE THE LENS with a VIVITAR CAMERA? 5 by .. Osvaldo Jimenez Valverde (COSTA RICA)
Do you have any idea if I can use this lense with a VIVITAR CAMERA?

Focusing ring doesn't make a difference? 4 by .. Esther Flesch (Hollywood, FL)
I bought this fisheye to use with an Nikon D300 .
I've being using this lens for just a week now and the pictures show good quality so far. I didn't try it in a great variety of light situations but I'll update this review when I try it harder.

The only cons is an apparently non working focus ring, what should be a very serious defect if it wouldn't make any difference in the image focus/quality.
I can imagine that occurs due to the extreme depth of field the lens has, everything is allways focused,
but I'm really wondering wheter this is a malfunction or not.

So please I'd like to hear from anybody who has ever experienced a similar situation with a fisheye lenses.

Tks
