Developed for photography and videography This fisheye from walimex pro was developed for use in photography and videography. The aperture can be continuously adjusted from 3.8 to 22 and the focus adjustment is soft and smooth. This enables smooth focus tracking for video recordings. The aperture ring and focus ring have a gear ring and are therefore optimised for use with follow focus systems, especially for filming with DSLRs. The distance and aperture scales are arranged on the side for better legibility. Unique shots The fisheye lens from walimex pro enables a completely new view of things. Thanks to the unusual perspective, there are no more limits to creativity. Due to the special depth of field and the extremely large angle of view, all possibilities are open to experimental videographers and photographers. The walimex pro Fish-Eye has a focal length of only 8mm. Even at a minimum distance of 30cm, exciting wide-angle shots can be captured in brilliant sharpness. The high lens speed of 1:3.8 enables outstanding shots even in less favourable lighting conditions. New image composition options for moving and still images The walimex pro Fisheye offers videographers a wide range of composition options, especially for spherical panoramas. Straight lines that are not in the centre of the image are curved and the distortion is strongly barrel-shaped. This special type of lens has a particularly short focal length for its image format size, which means that the image is depicted with curved shapes. This gives pictures taken with the walimex pro Fisheye its typical spherically distorted perspective. High-quality workmanship The lens has a high-quality design. The metal housing is very robust and impresses with its elegant appearance. The glass lenses of the lens are coated and therefore provide an excellent contrast and sharpness range as well as a balanced colour balance. The particularly high-quality optics of the lens ensure optimum image results. A lens hood prevents stray light and lens reflections from entering from the side.
