A Quick Review Nikon’s Fisheye Lens and Ultra Wide Lens

A fisheye lens is a wide-angle lens that takes in an especially wide angle of view. The Nikon 2148 AF DX Fisheye-NIKKOR 10.5mm f/2.8G ED lens was built exclusively for NIKON digital SLR cameras that promote NIKON’s DX Format Sensor. The AF DX Fisheye-Nikkor 10.5mm f/2.8G ED lens outstandingly proliferate NIKON’s DX-Nikkor group of interchangeable lenses. Other than wide angle with this DX series lens for your Nikon DSLR. The actual focal length of Nikon 10.5mm lens is comparable to that of about 16mm on a 35mm-film camera. 16mm is held to be the demarcation line from ultrawide angle to fisheye. As opposed to older fisheye lenses that cut-off the corners, this fisheye lens fills the entire frame with a useful image. 

Nikon DSLR consumers in the meantime can enjoy wider angle shots of landscapes, skylines, and astronomical panorama of the night sky with the Nikon AF DX Fisheye-NIKKOR 10.5mm f/2.8G ED lens. This is the wide-angle lens you’ve been missing. At the moment is your chance to select one. Extra-low Dispersion (ED) glass element reduces chromatic aberration. Design enables a fusion of wider angle of view with optical characteristics that are optimized for Nikon digital SLR camera sensors. Nikon D-type design provides accurate distance information for flash and ambient light exposure processes. Rounded diaphragm makes out-of-focus components appear more natural. G-type DX NIKKOR is engineered exclusively for use with Nikon digital SLR models. Built-in flower-type lens hood includes CL-0715 soft case, lens cover, rear cap For Nikon DSLR camera with a DX mount / Also compatible with FX series in DX crop mode

The Nikon 14mm f/2.8 AF-D is an ultra-ultrawide lens designed for film and FX digital cameras. It was unveiling in 1999 at the same time as the historic D1. This fixed 14mm f/2.8 has great optics, is very solidly built 

The Nikon 14mm f/2.8 lens is a big improvement over the manual focus 15mm f/3.5 AI-s and other earlier ultra-ultrawide lenses.

This fixed 14mm is more compact and weighs exactly 2/3 what the big latest 14-24mm f/2.8 zoom (introduced in 2007) does. This means this fixed 14mm weighs 12 oz. (333g) less than the huge zoom!

For those of us who’ve been following Nikon’s ultra-ultrawide lenses as each was introduced since the 1970s, this is Nikon’s best and most recent fixed ultra-ultrawide.

Different from the old-fashioned spherical 13mm and 15mm, this much newer aspherical 14mm has none of the crippling ghosting problems of the earlier lenses, and it’s much, much sharper at every aperture.

This 14mm lens takes in the full FX format and 35mm film for an ultra-ultra wide view. It makes a 20mm lens seem long by comparison.

Nikon unveiled this along with the first DSLR, and it was chiefly in demand with news photographers who had no other way to possess a really wide angle on a DX digital SLR with DX’ 1.5x crop factor. On a DX digital camera this is identical to a 21mm lens.
