    Pentax Q 3.2 mm f/ 5.6 Fish-Eye (03)

    4.5mm · f/5.6

    Overview

    The Pentax Q 3.2mm f/5.6 Fish-Eye (03) is a compact, manual-focus lens offering a 160° field of view (17.6mm equivalent). Optically, it delivers the expected fisheye distortion and unique look. Build quality is good with an alloy barrel and smooth focus ring, though it has a plastic mount and weighs only 29g. Its fixed f/5.6 aperture and deep depth-of-field (equivalent to f/30) make focusing less critical, but the lack of AF and cumbersome focus assist may frustrate some. It suits Q system users wanting an ultra-wide fisheye effect without high cost or weight.
