Lens Description: Delivering a creative and distinct look, the AF-S Fisheye NIKKOR 8-15mm f/3.5-4.5E ED from Nikon is a fisheye zoom designed for FX-format F-mount DSLRs. At the wide end of the zoom range, the lens produces a circular field of view, which gradually covers the entire full frame by the long end of the focal length range. Benefitting the extreme angle of view, the optical design makes use of extra low-dispersion glass to control chromatic aberrations and color fringing throughout the zoom range for improved clarity and color accuracy. Also, a Nano Crystal Coat has been applied to suppress flare and ghosting for improved contrast in strong lighting conditions.
