Summary: This lens is included fisheye function 180 degree at 10mm and ultra wide 100 degrees at 17mm. Sure, there is lots of distortion in 10mm because it is fisheye, but it is not a bad point you cab create many creative photo from it. from Thenerds.net Summary: This lens is included fisheye function 180 degree at 10mm and ultra wide 100 degrees at 17mm.

It takes good pictures and is fun to use. The fisheye effect (straight lines appear curved at the edges of the picture) is very noticeable at 10mm, and is much less noticeable but still present at 17mm. The zoom ring turns smooth and has a good feel. from Thenerds.net It appears to be fairly sturdy and well-built. It takes good pictures and is fun to use.

The zoom ring turns smooth and has a good feel. from Buydig.com I've found nothing wrong with this lens and it's fun to see people's reactions to the shots. After some Photoshop lens correction the shots are can also be acceptably distortion free. Once again Pentax provides the value for the money. from Amazon.com inexpensive and fun but poor quality, I love Pentax lenses, but this one is worth the money. Fun too bad there's not a option for a higher quality version, would be worth paying for, Love the 12mm-24mm Lens I bought from them though from Amazon.com I am extremely pleased with this lens. I am just an amature, but of the three lenses that I have for my K20D this is my favorite. I have the 18-55mm kit lens, a 70-300mm and this lens. from Amazon.com I purchased this to play with both the wide angle capabilities and the fish-eye views this creates with my K10D. The pictures thus far (roughly 100-120) have shown excellent quality. The types of pictures I've been able to take by purchasing this have impressed me! from Amazon.com Have owned this lens since December 2007 and have had a lot of fun with it. At 17mm, it functions like a conventional wide angle lens, but at 10mm it is truly a fish-eye. The flexibility cannot be beat! from Amazon.com This lens can be used for many other photographic projects besides just landscape/scenic panoramas. Of course, some caution is needed when thinking about the lines, convergence, etc...but it is a fun as well as useful lens. from Amazon.com
