Olympus M. Zuiko Digital 8mm f/1.8 Fisheye PRO Review

Gary Wolstenholme puts the Olympus 8mm f/1.8 Fisheye lens, with a wide field of view of 180 degrees, to the test.

Unique fast f/1.8 maximum aperture on a fisheye ; Lightweight ; Outstanding sharpness ; Fast focusing ; Close focusing ; Dust, splash and freezeproof ; Robust construction

Olympus M.Zuiko Digital 8 mm f/1.8 ED PRO Fisheye

An f/1.8 full-frame fisheye that is unmatched in any sensor/film format. Stunning image quality and low light flexibility. Just awesome for dedicated fisheye users.

Outstanding image quality. Very sharp at f/1.8. Extremely sharp from f/2.8 and beyond. Flexiblity in lower light situations makes this lens for me

A bit large for µ4/3, but only a bit. Smaller than the PRO zooms. Price new is a concern but, for the world's first f/1.8 fisheye, understandable
