    Overview

    The Zodiak-8 30mm f/3.5 is a fisheye lens for medium format (6×6) cameras, offering a 180° diagonal view. It is very sharp but produces strong barrel distortion, bending verticals near edges. Build is solid, but the lens requires a UV filter always mounted. Focusing can be tricky on dim screens; zone focusing at f/8 works well. It suits photographers seeking artistic fisheye effects for landscapes or creative shots, but the distortion may tire some users.
