On Nikon DX D-SLRs, the crop factor puts this lens at around a 16mm full-frame equivalent, but it boasts a 180º angle of view making it much ‘˜wider' than a normal wide-angle.The lens performed well on test with fast, accurate AF that very rarely suffered from hunting.

The Nikon AF DX Fisheye-Nikkor 10.5mm f/2.8G ED ($774.95) is one of those lenses that's just a joy to use. When paired with a DX Nikon SLR , the svelte prime captures the world in front of it with a curved, fish-eye perspective.
Pros:
- Compact
- Ultra-wide fish-eye
- Very sharp
- Close focus capability
Cons:
- Pricey
- Lacks internal focus motor
- Shows some color fringing

Nikon AF DX Fisheye-Nikkor 10.5mm f/2.8G ED Review
The Nikon AF DX Fisheye-Nikkor 10.5mm f/2.8G ED lens allows you to capture the world in a unique perspective, but it only autofocuses with select Nikon SLRs. The Nikon AF DX Fisheye-Nikkor 10.5mm f/2.8G ED ($774.95) is one of those lenses that's just a joy to use. When paired with a DX Nikon SLR, the svelte prime captures the world in front of it with a curved, fish-eye perspective. It can focus very close, produces crisp images, and features the build quality you expect from a Nikon lens. But it's not without some drawbacks, notably its price and the lack of autofocus support in entry-level SLRs like the D5500. There are less expensive alternatives out there, like the Samyang 8mm f/3.5 Fisheye ($279) and the Lensbaby Circular Fisheye, although the latter features a more extreme field of view that doesn't entirely fill the frame. DesignThe 10.5mm is a svelte lens, measuring about 2.5 by 2.5 inches (HD) and barely tipping the scales at a meager 10.8 ounces. The hood is integrated, and a slip-on cap protects both it and the bulbous front element. Because of the design of the lens, screw-in filters cannot be used. There's no stabilizatio...
Pros:
- Compact
- Ultra-wide fish-eye
- Very sharp
- Close focus capability
Cons:
- Pricey
- Lacks internal focus motor

Nikkor 10.5 F/2.8
It can set mood by changes in light over a wide area. I've got a shot of a domed enclosure taken by laying the camera on the floor and shooting straight up, it gets lots of comments in my portfolio.
Pros:
- Great lens
- Getting really close to the subject works.
Cons:
- None other than the exposed glass

Nikon 10.5mm f/2.8G ED AF DX Fisheye Nikkor
What a great lens. Don't listen to people that tag this lens as a lens that is exclusive to skateboarder/snowboarder photography. This is a great lens that allows you to take some pretty unbelievable shots.
Pros:
- f/2.8 maximum aperature
- sharp..even wide open
- ultra-wide
Cons:
- Build quality left wanting
- don't lose your lens cap

Useful lens
I just started using the lens this week. It was so easy to use but have to be extra careful not to get too close to human subject. Fun also to use during party.
Pros:
- easy useful and fun
Cons:
- be aware of distance to your subject
