Great addition to lens capability - I really love this new fisheye. It gives a whole new dimension to pictures. It is clear, stable and pictures are exceptional. I plan to use it every chance I get. from Zappos.com it provides full frame images on a digital slr through the entire zoom range. from Thenerds.net the zoom ring turns smooth and has a good feel. from Thenerds.net

Pros: Full metal barrels, decent sharpness across the frame.

Cons: Visible CA.

from Shopping.com While most lens reviews focus and look down on lenses for distortion, sometimes it's just the thing to make unique photos. Take a fisheye to a family or sports event or on any trip and capture some 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 from Amazon.com i was even happier because unlike the canon lens, the pentax is a zoom, so that not every shot has to be the distorted wide angle that you think of when you hear "fisheye". from Amazon.com the zoom function is very useful and requires a lot less lens changes. from Amazon.com Every bit as advertised. A most unusual lense. It takes a while getting use to the lack of an apature ring but the lense is everybit worth it. If you are in a small room and need to take in the from Amazon.com louis arch from fairly close up. from Amazon.com
