Overview

The Carl Zeiss Distagon-F Fisheye T* 16 mm f/2.8 C/Y offers excellent build quality with a solid feel and smooth focus ring. Optically, it delivers high resolution wide open, well-controlled chromatic aberrations, and pleasing contrast/color, with minimal light fall-off. The fisheye effect is strong when tilted but surprisingly neutral when level, allowing use as an ultra-wide. However, its niche perspective leads to infrequent use, suiting those who occasionally want a unique look.
