Unlikely to get tested as it looks to be incompatible with nearly every camera ever made.

Their website shows they make versions of it for Fuji, Nikon, Micro Four Thirds, and Sony.

Ok, it might make a nice lens on a Nikon Pronea. But I'm not holding my breath to see the test negatives posted here.

I have a Nikon AF D 16mm 180° bought used, mint. I shoot Nikon FX and 35mm with this lens.

So how do you use it? Do you like those pictures?

Nobody is going to use a Pronea; APS film was discontinued a decade ago. This is for digital cameras.

It's a great lens, beautiful metal body, has an aperture ring so works with manual focus cameras. I don't use it a lot, great for interior shots. The fisheye effect is quite pronounced, I have a Nikon 14mm f2.8 AF-D It's more useful for me, the 14mm doesn't come cheap. The 14mm was used as a 21mm equivalent with D1, D2 cropped sensor by pros, so there are well used, affordable, examples out there

I don't know (I'm not the original poster), and I don't give a damn; I have more important things to do in life than foam at the mouth every time someone mentions something digital.

Industry News is actually a "Mixed Use" forum.
I do agree though that a reference to the mounts available would have been helpful.

yeah. I was looking for the Canon FM, Nikon or , Leica mount. Didn't see them... which means the lens is dead to me. Cudda been useful to include the supported lens mounts.

Do fish actually see their world at 180 degrees? Wonder if they have perspective correction.
I personally only go to 110 degrees as thats about the limit of my vision and if I go any further the brim of my hat gets in the way.
