The 16 on a DSLR becomes a 24 without metering.

joel... i wouldn't get that for my life, the picture quality at anything other than dead center will be terrible

no worries i wasnt about to buy it i was just curious.

by picture quality do you mean it just wouldnt focus properly except in the center, or something else?

 

[Protean]

it would just be very soft becuase the lens elements are eather plastic (i would hope it isn't that bad =D ) or very very inferior to even a kit lens, and would just give you very bad quality results, sharpness wise

Ok so where can you get this Zenitar lense?

 

[LWW]

From the mother of all deals...EBAY, and FWIW from f4 it is sharper at the edge and from f5.6/8 up it's tack sharp. From f8 everything is in focus anyway.

I am in need for a fisheye lens.

Does any TPF member own and uses the Nikkor 10.5 f/2.8 or Sigma 8mm f/4 lens? Then there is the fisheye zoooooom Tokina 10-17 f/3.5 Problem with these lenses is they are almost exclusevly a special order item around the stores and I can't get my hands on either to try out.
