The new lens has three (extra) low dispersion and two aspherical elements. Optics: 15 elements in 13 groups which is much more than the 8/5 of the 16/2.8D. The old 16/2.8D fixed focal is much smaller at 57 x 63mm with lens hood. The lens hood adds another 11mm in length and has a diameter of 96mm. This is par for the course for a modern lens. x length): 78 x 83mm (3.1 x 3.3in) without lens hood at its shortest length which is at 10mm focal length. I’ll compare it mostly with Nikon’s only other full-frame fisheye, the 16/2.8D. I’ve rated the features with a (or ), when it’s better than average or even state of the art, a if it’s standard or just average, and if there’s a disadvantage. So if you’re shopping for a fisheye lens, you’ve come to the right place!Īs usual I’ll have a look at the technical data first.

To find out how the new Nikon 8-15mm f3.5-4.5E ED fisheye performs I tested it against Nikon’s own 10.5/2.8G DX and 16/2.8D fisheye lenses plus Tokina’s AT-X 10-17/3.5-4.5 AF DX NH fisheye on the demanding D810 body.

This makes the gold-ringed lens fit Nikon’s line-up of professional lenses and they charge accordingly: 1250 USD / 1500 EUR is the list-price for this new zoom. Nikon equipped its new lens with an electromagnetic diaphragm mechanism, nano crystal coat plus fluorine coating on the front and rear lens elements for easier cleaning, and also hardened the lens barrel with additional sealing against dust and moisture. Announced in April 2017, it fills a gap in Nikon’s lineup of lenses as up to now Nikon only offers its 10.5/2.8G DX fisheye and the 16/2.8D FX fisheye. The only thing you cannot do with it is to project a circular image on a DX-sensor: for that you’d need a 5.5mm fisheye lens. So this zoom covers effectively three separate fixed-focal fisheye lenses. It has an angle of view of 180 degrees and projects a circular image at 8mm on a full-frame sensor, completely covers a DX-sensor at 11mm, and completely covers a full-frame sensor at 15mm. The Nikon 8-15mm f3.5-4.5E ED fisheye is a 1.9x super wide-angle zoom. Alternatively get yourself a copy of my In Camera book or treat me to a coffee! Thanks! Buy it now! Check prices on the Nikon 8-15mm Fisheye at Amazon, B&H, Adorama, Wex. Add a quite and reliable focus and a moderate size and weight and you get a package that clearly earns a Highly Recommended. Yes, the lens has its price but it effectively replaces three fixed focal fisheye lenses and thus is the most versatile tool. But most importantly: the optical performance is very convincing topping that of both Nikon fixed focal fisheyes as well as the fisheye zoom from Tokina. It is well-sealed against the elements, puts away with the mechanical aperture coupling and adds dirt-repellent fluorine coating on the front and rear lens elements. It is also the only fisheye from Nikon that can auto-focus on D3x00 and D5x00 bodies. This combination was not available for Nikon shooters before. So if you are looking for a good way to get your MA adjustments taken care of, especially if you have a Canon body that supports the automatic calibration mode - I agree with the OP - you should buy this software.Summary This is a unique lens for Nikon DSLRs: it's a fisheye, it's a zoom and it goes down to 8mm focal length producing fully circular images on full-frame/FX bodies. The customer service was very good and they were able to help me get everything straightened out in very short order.

One other thing - I originally had an issue with the license when I bought the upgrade (due to a computer problem I was having).

Once Nikon makes the necessary function calls available to third party software developers, I expect this program can add the automatic functionality that is already supported for many of the Canon bodies. There is not quite as good support for some of the functions on Nikon bodies, but that is the fault of the lack of support for remote controlling some of the functions of the cameras that Nikon makes available to developers, not any fault of the program itself.

I now want to go back and run some of the other statistics and tests (like sharpest aperture) that the Pro version gives you. After seeing how excellent and easy it was to use I upgraded to the Pro version. I originally had the middle version (that allows for the automatic calibration) but not the Pro version. I have calibrated both my 70-200 f/4 L IS and my 24-105 f/4 L IS with it and I am pleased with the values of MA that it came up with, which was much easier than the original testing I did without the software trying to set my MA adjustment values myself.

I bought the system about 2 months ago - and I agree - it is a very cool piece of software and I think it gives accurate repeatable results.
