Hello,
JT> For about $170 or less you can have the Russian Zenitar 16 mm. f2.8
JT> fisheye, a quite sharp lens.
I own a Zenitar 16/2.8 made in CCCP This sample is outstanding in
terms of sharpness(edges are fabulous)and contrast. The sharpest
fixed focal lense I own (S-Tak 28/3.5, S-M-C Tak 35/3.5, S-Tak 50/2,
Carl Zeiss Jena 35/2.8).
No doubt there are sample variations so ... test before buy
Flare is managed pretty well(remember there are rear filter attached
all the time - lens design; doesn't achieve infinity focus without a
rear filter)
"Awakening" posted on July 2001 PUG was shot with Zenitar 16/2.8
You can see how is behaves with sun in the frame.
