Superb optical performance
This super-fast, wide-angle fisheye lens delivers unparalleled resolution with virtually no light fall-off. Its high-precision lens architecture drastically reduces aberrations and works together with the unique ZERO coating, which cuts certain wavelength reflections by 50%.

More creative options
With a minimum working distance of just 2.5cm from the front of the lens, you can get close for all sorts of nature photography – achieving shooting magnification of 0.2x (0.4x*). This, combined with an aperture of 1.8, gives you bokeh effects that add a whole new look to your fisheye macro photography.

Your all-weather friend
This lens's dustproof and splashproof construction means getting close to the action will not put your lens at risk. And it’s even freezeproof too – better for never-seen-before nature photography in demanding conditions.
