Olympus 8mm f/3.5 Zuiko Digital Fisheye review by xeroxparc79
This lens is incredibly rugged, solid and heavy. It's far bigger than my previous Zenitar 16/2,8 that covers full frame, maybe due to water & dust seals. Good sharpness, but not stellar, and A LOT of purple fringing (not CA). For fisheye fans only.
Pros:
- Built like a tank
Cons:
- A lot of purple fringing

The first full frame fisheye lens for 4/3 system. My first impression when opened the box is : A great build quality comparing with other brand Fisheye lens (such Canon EF 15 mm f/2.8 or Nikkor DX 10.5 mm). Heavier but sturdy and very comfort to hold
Pros:
- * Very sharp
- * Build quality
- * Weathersealed
- * Nice color reproduction
Cons:
- More expensive than other brand (but worth for every penny you pay !

Good Value Used Lens
This is a nice piece of glass, everything you would expect from an Olympus High Grade Lens. The optics are very good, and the build is excellent. It is priced in the same range as most of the big named competition and probably better built.

olympus 8 mm fisheye
i am not a pro photographer. just a rank amateur. i am using this lens on an em-5 micro 4 thirds mount...you loose some a/f speed. about 1/3 or so . great fun with this lens. you really never have to look in the viewfinder or screen. just hold the camera and shoot.

It's perfect, in new condition
To begin with I am not a professional. I placed an order with Amazon on Aug. 16 and received the order on Aug 19. Tied for the quickest. My order was for the Olympus Zuiko (Zweeko) 8mm f3.5 Fisheye lens [USED] from HappyLensMate. HappyLensMate listed it as "Like New".

Olympus Fisheye
Excllent specialist lens - as long as you can "see" in non-rectilinear perspective (NOT distorted perspective BTW). Built like a battleship and excellent close-focus options. Huge DoF.

Zuiko Digital Fisheye is awesome!
It's a fantastic lens. I rented it before committing to buy, so I knew what to expect. The quality of Zuiko lenses is the reason why I stick to Olympus cameras.

Really like this lens
This is a high quality lens. It is my first fisheye, and I'm having a great time with it. It presents all kinds of possibilities for innovative photography, as I'm beginning to learn. One constant is that the images I get are really sharp!
