While I hope to create a full Nikon 10.5mm f/2.8G AF DX Fisheye Lens, my first priority is to include results from this lens in the lens comparison tools available on the site. This page currently exists because it is required by the database and content management systems for me to post information...

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

The 10.5mm f/2.8G is part of Nikon's DX lens range designed for APS-C sized sensors, meaning if you put it on a full-frame FX Nikon D-SLR you'll need to crop the resolution to avoid black edges.

Ultra wide picture angle of 180 degrees on DX sensor achieved by producing a smaller image circle (the size of the image that is projected by the lens on to the sensor) enabling smaller lens diameter, lighter weight and optimal image quality from center-to edge-to-corner on the image.

Fisheye problems
There's no doubt that the Nikon fisheye lens is easy to use, as long as you understand how it works. (This lens has no aperture setting and exposure must be carefully controlled from the camera.
Pros:
- Good for what it does in limited circumstances
Cons:
- Chromatic aberration

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

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
