    In this video, I reviewed the Nikon AF-S 8-15mm f/3.5-4.5E fisheye lens and also compared it to the Nikon AF 16mm f/2.8D fisheye lens.
    How does this latest fisheye lens perform and what is the image quality like compare to the old Nikkor fisheye?

    Thank you Richard for explaining and comparing those fisheye lenses.

    Excellent review! It helped me decide and I just bought one, just for fun mainly and a learning experience.

      Oh Thanks! This is one of my very early, old review. Glad it is still useful 🙂

    Is the new 8mm-15mm f/3.5 an FX lens and can it be used with Nikon D750 full frame?

    Looks like a unique lens. Having a decent standard fisheye performance + a uncropped fully circular image without modifying anything on top of it is pretty neat, I think. And the short min focus distance for creative super wide angle semi-macro shots (think thats the only reason why AF makes sense here) sounds like fun!
    Very comprehensive and digestable video :) Good stuff, thanks for sharing!
    Would be interesting to find out if the 8mm image is advantageous for (spherical) panoramas, in terms of coverage and stitching etc. I love the Samyang (or whatever brand) 8mm f/3.5 for DX for this purposes, it was really a game changer for me for panorama work and it's a steal (great money/value ratio, I find).

    Do you think the new 8mm-15mm is better if it built with VR?

    • @TheRealRichardWong

      Hard to say.. the benefit of adding vr to a fisheye is quite minimal compare to the cost (price,size, complexity of the optics design)

    Is the Hood réversible?

    I have one of these and though I was very disappointed when I got it and found out that it is largely made of plastic, the optics on it are superb and it is almost impossible to get it to ghost, even with a bright sun in the frame.

      I definitely prefer the construction of the old school Nikkor lens. But yeah the lens optical quality is really good

      @@TheRealRichardWong I could take my 200mm f/2 ED IF AIS Nikkor and smash that AFS Nikkor to pieces and not even scratch the paint.
