Capture a full 180° like never before with the eye-opening AF-S Fisheye NIKKOR 8-15mm f/3.5-4.5E ED, NIKKOR’s first fisheye zoom lens. Create dramatic shots with the AF-S Fisheye NIKKOR 8-15mm f/3.5-4.5E ED’s two unique fisheye effects – the circular fisheye effect, that gives you maximum 180° wide-angle position vertically and horizontally with FX-format*1 DSLRs, and the full-frame fisheye effect, that provides you with an 180° of view from the telephoto end of the lens with FX-format DSLRs and from the DX mark*2 with DX-format*3 DSLRs. With a minimum focus distance of 0.16m, and a maximum reproduction ratio of 0.34x, the AF-S Fisheye NIKKOR 8-15mm f/3.5-4.5E ED is perfect for close-up photography, allowing you to get as close as approximately 3cm away from your subject without any deterioration at the periphery. Give your photography a creative twist with the AF-S Fisheye NIKKOR 8-15mm f/3.5-4.5E ED.
Designed with a dust and drip-resistant structure, the AF-S Fisheye NIKKOR 8-15mm f/3.5-4.5E ED is made to perform, even when conditions are less than ideal. A fluorine coat is also applied to the extreme front and end of the lens surface, effectively repelling dust, water droplets, grease, and dirt for easy maintenance.
For easy handling and operability, the AF-S Fisheye NIKKOR 8-15mm f/3.5-4.5E ED comes with a HB-80 Bayonet Hood and LC-K102 Slip-on Front Lens Cap that can be attached and removed together, to help prevent vignetting. Alternatively, when you desire a full-frame fisheye effect (with a DX format DSLR), or when shooting from a telephoto position with a FX format DSLR, the lens cap itself can be detached with the lens hood still mounted on the lens. The intuitive nature of the lens, and its accompanying hood, allows for a quicker response, so you can photograph critical moments with ease.
