I was debating with myself for about a year before I finally decided to buy this lens. It is a very specialized lens and can't be used that often. At least that's what I initially thought about this lens.
Pros:
- Very sharp in the center
- rivals the best primes !! (well it is a prime too
- It is very close focusing - 14cm- and with the extreme depth of field you can shot pictures from literally inside flowers
- Max aperture of 2.8 comes handy shooting in the twilight zone
Cons:
- CA - but can be easily corrected in PS-ACR
- Other than that : NONE
- Well
- you have to be carefull not to get your hands/feet in the picture but that is not a weakness of the lens
- but comes with 180° diagonal coverage

This is the first fisheye lens developed exclusively for use with Nikon DX Format, it is equivalent to 16mm focal length on 35mm.

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

I already had a superwide for my D300, but when a friend had to sell this lens in a hurry so his wife would let him buy some other lens, I purchased it for only $250. This lens is really sharp and might be one of the best fisheyes built with respect to optics.
Pros:
- Great DX Fisheye that can be shaved and work well on FX
- This is pro-level glass in my opinion and a lot of fun
Cons:
- The only con might be that people sometimes overuse a fisheye for it's distortion

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

Nikon 10.5mm f/2.8G ED AF DX Fisheye Nikkor review by JoeD90
This lens, like all fish-eye lens, is all about understanding where it will be at its best. I love to use it in big spaces. The bigger the space, the less noticeable the lens will be without editing.
Pros:
- Small
- sharp
- predictable
- well built
Cons:
- None

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.
