EXPANSIVE 180 DEGREE VIEW - The Opteka 6.5mm f/3.5 Circular Fisheye Lens offers an incredibly exciting perspective and takes photography to a range that exceeds the ability of the human eye. Bend the typical view of your photographs and video to the extreme with the ability to capture a full 180 degree panoramic frame. That fishbowl angle, combined with the impressive 11.8-inch focusing distance, allows an incredible depth of field making the 6.5mm the perfect addition to your bag of tricks.
HD SUPER MULTI-COATED OPTICS - In order to assist with the common and annoying problem of flare and ghosting, Opteka's Fisheye lens has been coated with a special layer above the optics to reduce this harmful effect. Additionally, a removable petal shaped lens hood is included reducing further the amount of light directly on the lens. This provides a valuable shelter from unwanted light rays helping you to capture ultra clear and vivid images.
CONSISTENT AND SHARP IMAGES - Because a single aspherical element is utilized in the lens, this helps to reduce aberrations while maintaining a consistent illumination for sharpness around the entire image edge. Because there is so much detail in the frame of the fisheye with its wide angle view, this welcome addition is a helpful tool to create high quality and consistent images every time.
DURABLE HEAVY DUTY CONSTRUCTION - With an aluminum alloy lens mount, a super strong connection between lens and camera ensures your Opteka Fisheye will hold up against wear and tear and keep you capturing incredible images for years to come.
This is a manual focus lens. You can only use the lens in "m" manual exposure mode or "a" aperture-priority mode.
the opteka 6.5mm f3.5 fisheye lens is an excellent addition to any photographer's collection, giving users the ability to expand their creativity & capture incredible scenes from a truly unique perspective. The special fisheye design allows maximum creative expression.
this lens, when used with cameras with an aps-c image sensor, creates images with an expanded perspective, including images with a creatively deformed outlook & a sharp pan focus that extends throughout the entire frame. By offering a 180-degree angle of view, this fisheye lens can be used to create amazing image expressions that cannot be seen by the human eye, such as exaggerated perspective & distortion. The minimum shooting distance (just 12 inches) & large depth of field also provide amazing close-up shots.
while this lens is designed for aps-c sensors, full frame users can now use it without the hood. On aps-c cameras the pictures will fill the entire frame or screen. On full frame cameras the lens will produce pictures with a semi-circular image & close images will appear proportionately large for a dramatic effect.
opteka's super multi-layer lens coating reduces flare & ghosting, a common problem with digital cameras & also creates an optimum color balance.
