Review, Tested: Kelda 8mm f/3.5 Fisheye Lens for Nikon Posted on March 12, 2015 by lui_gough Fisheye lenses are pretty special when it comes to lenses. Their extreme distortion effect serves to be a novelty, which is sometimes overused , and can prove to be a handy feature to squeeze in extreme fields of view, or to ease 360-degree panorama photo-taking. The number of fisheye options for DSLRs have generally be limited, and it was hard for many to justify spending real money on a real fisheye lens. In terms of options, the one I like most is the Samyang 8mm f/3.5 fisheye (~AU$380), available under a range of different rebadge names such as Bower, Pro-Optic, Rokinon, Opteka, Vivitar, Falcon, Polar, Walimex and Bell and Howwell. In fact, I liked it so much that I owned one for Canon and one for Nikon! The other that’s widely known is a Zenitar 16mm f/2.8 fisheye (~AU$260), which is more suited for full-frame users, and isn’t as nice when it comes to flare handling. T...
Excellent comment on the need for 240 Mpixel cameras. So 106Mpixel is not enough. Actually 240Mpixel is just enough at 200 dpi. We need at least 300 dpi to print useable wall photos, which means we need more than 360 Mpixel. The comment on the need for high megapixel is very sound. We must preserve our memories. We would regret it taking them at low Mpixel some days. I still remember the days when I thought 2 Mpixel was good enough. They are now unuseable. Imagine what will happen to the 8Mpixel which are useable on PC monitors only.
