    Overview

    The ProOptik 8mm f/3.5 Fish-Eye CS is a budget-friendly manual-focus lens for APS-C cameras, offering excellent value. Optically, it is soft wide-open at f/3.5 but becomes sharp by f/5.6, with less lateral chromatic aberration than pricier Nikon fisheyes. It exhibits some chromatic aberration that is easily correctable in post. Build quality is solid and durable, with a smooth focus ring. The lens is ideal for creative, fun photography on crop-sensor DSLRs, especially for tight spaces and unique perspectives.
