Nikon 8-15mm Fisheye Real World Review: is this Lens Worth the Price?
This is a Real World Review of the Nikon 8-15mm F3.5-4.5E ED fisheye lens. Finally Nikon has replaced it’s aging 16mm f2.8 lens that at one time was awesome but now, not so much.

I honestly think this lens should only shoot at two focal lengths, 8 and 15 and nothing in between. Shooting at 8mm gives you a completely round image and at 15 you get the traditional fisheye effect. For this Real World Review I took the lens out to the Philadelphia Museum of Art as well as to the skate park to put it through its paces.
