A Quick Review Nikon’s Fisheye Lens and Ultra Wide Lens

A fisheye lens is a wide-angle lens that takes in an very wide angle of view. The Nikon 2148 AF DX Fisheye-NIKKOR 10.5mm f/2.8G ED lens was designed solely for NIKON digital SLR cameras that promote NIKON’s DX Format Sensor. The AF DX Fisheye-Nikkor 10.5mm f/2.8G ED lens significantly proliferate NIKON’s DX-Nikkor brand of interchangeable lenses. Apart from wide angle with this DX series lens for your Nikon DSLR. The actual focal length of Nikon 10.5mm lens is comparable to that of about 16mm on a 35mm-film camera. 16mm is seens as the borderline from ultrawide angle to fisheye. In contrast to older fisheye lenses that cut-off the corners, this fisheye lens fills the entire frame with a useful image. 

Nikon DSLR consumers momentarily can appreciate wider angle shots of landscapes, skylines, and astronomical views of the night sky with the Nikon AF DX Fisheye-NIKKOR 10.5mm f/2.8G ED lens. This is the wide-angle lens you’ve been missing. Now is your opportunity to pick one up. Extra-low Dispersion (ED) glass element minimizes chromatic aberration. Design enables a combination of wider angle of view with optical characteristics that are optimized for Nikon digital SLR camera sensors. Nikon D-type design provides precise distance information for flash and ambient light exposure processes. Rounded diaphragm makes out-of-focus components seem more natural. G-type DX NIKKOR is built unqiuely for use with Nikon digital SLR models.

The Nikon 14mm f/2.8 AF-D is an ultra-ultrawide lens built for film and FX digital cameras. It was introduced in 1999 together with the historic D1. This fixed 14mm f/2.8 has great optics, is very solidly built 

The Nikon 14mm f/2.8 lens is a large enhancement over the manual focus 15mm f/3.5 AI-s and other earlier ultra-ultrawide lenses.

This fixed 14mm is smaller and weighs exactly 2/3 what the enormous new 14-24mm f/2.8 zoom (introduced in 2007) does. This means this fixed 14mm weighs 12 oz. (333g) less than the huge zoom!

For those of us who’ve been following Nikon’s ultra-ultrawide lenses as each was introduced since the 1970s, this is Nikon’s highest quality and just released fixed ultra-ultrawide.

Unlike the old-fashioned spherical 13mm and 15mm, this much newer aspherical 14mm has none of the crippling ghosting problems of the earlier lenses, and it’s much, much sharper at every aperture.

This 14mm lens takes in the full FX format and 35mm film for an ultra-ultra wide view. It makes a 20mm lens seem long by comparison.

Nikon introduced this along with the first DSLR, and it was chiefly all the rage with news photographers who had no other way to acquire a extremely wide angle on a DX digital SLR with DX’ 1.5x crop factor. On a DX digital camera this is similar to a 21mm lens.
