Gordon from CameraLabs (Click here) posted the full Olympus 8mm PRO lens review:
Ultimately the Olympus 8mm f1.8 Fisheye may be larger and higher-priced than rivals, but it’ll out-perform them on the feature-front, particularly in terms of aperture. If you’ll exploit these features, it’s well worth spending the extra and comes highly recommended. I also commend Olympus on pushing the envelope here and producing a lens that’s truly different from anything that’s come before for any format. It’ll be a reason for some photographers to select Micro Four Thirds as their next format.

Well, is it only me, or is this image out of focus?? 🙂 No, of course, its not only me, just kidding.
How can one trust a “lens review” from a guy, who cannot control depth of field in his still item image? Use tripod, manual focus to the mid point, close that aperture until the entire item is in focus, please!
BOKEH OBSESSED.
f/0.01 on 8×10!!!
Well…the Oly fisheye is soft wide open…so I will be keeping my much smaller and just-as-shArp Panny fisheye…it’s slower aperture, but with th IS on my M1… It just isn’t an issue…and it not like you are EVER going to get shallow depth of field wit a fisheye anyway.
BTW… Bokeh is supposed to be used tastefully and with purpose to render artistic images. The one at the top of the page is pointless and U.G.L.Y.
It looks like a mistake?!?!
I do understand. I mean, it is far easier to rationalize why not to pay a thousand for a speciality lens, specially when there are some cheaper alternatives that delivers despite boasting lesser specs.
Quite ironic by the way that I hear the Panasonic lens thrown in 🙂 For all the time I’ve read how AF wasn’t worth paying twice as much as the Rokinon Samyang Whichever..
As for the Bokeh comment, this is a review. I am not bothered by the lack of artistic merit. At all. It tels what the lens can do, I am happy with that.
