It’s a great lens, especially for the price! I really like the pictures it produces. It’s super compact and has a good build quality IMHO. It’s also a very cheap way to get wide angle (though of course with barrel distortion) for the BMPCC with its 3x crop factor.
Yes, this is the right price.
I have had this lens for over 3 years, for the price it’s amazing. It’s compact, very sturdy construction, focus ring has good resistance. Once again, could be better, but it would cost more. There are alternatives from Olympus and Panasonic if you want better 🙂
They (P&O, any other lens maker) can add AF or make it f1.8, but optically it won’t be that easy to get anything better…
Do these guys have a good non-fisheye? Something like a 9 mm rectilinear? If not, then that would be a great seller if they could pull it off on a budget. Equivalent f3.5 would be just fine.
I can shoot in raw with my 12 to 40 PRO and get ~11mm, so I don’t think 10 mm is quite wide enough. Would still be welcome though.
They have a 10mm f/2.8 and a 12mm f/2. Don’t know about the 10mm, but the 12mm as been described as sharper than the M.Zuiko 12mm f/2.
Also described as not as sharp as the Zuiko 12mm… so mixed reviews?
Sample variation, perhaps, too…
This was already the best value for money in m43 at MRSP.
Now it’s a steal.
I own it and it is one of my favorite lens.
At this price it is a “must-have” for those trying fish-eyes/ultra wide angle stuff.
I’ve seen this lens from Samyang and Walimex. I own the Rokinon version, though, Rokinon, Samyang, Walimex, Bower, Vivitar, Falcon, Opteka, Bell and Howell, Polar and Pro-Optic are companies that sell the same lens rebranded (not sure if all sell the 7.5mm), so to anyone looking for it, beware that it might be cheaper for you under other brand in your country!
