Overview

The Panasonic Lumix G Fisheye 8mm F3.5 is a compact, lightweight lens offering a 180-degree diagonal field of view on Micro Four Thirds. Optical strengths include outstanding center sharpness from f/3.5 and very good edge sharpness, peaking at f/5.6, with low chromatic aberration. Weaknesses include corner softness and vignetting, no weather-sealing, no filter thread, and no focal scale. Build quality is solid with a metal mount and built-in petal hood. Autofocus is fast and quiet. It suits photographers seeking a fun, creative fisheye for occasional use, ideally bought used.
