  • I had had a fisheye lens like this for a Sony Alpha and a Sony

  • UPDATE, 25 Oct '18.Well, I'm downgrading my review after some real world testing doing handheld shots, and putting the camera on a tripod and focusing using both peak focus assist and standard assist and the results are disappointingly soft.
  • I expected the same good results and am not disappointed

Reviews around focus (4.03 of 5)

  • It's really easy to determine accurate focus with the X-Pro 1
  • Sharp, well-built manual focus lens that works like a charm on my Fuji X Pro-1

  • Such a wide focal length means that you can leave this lens at infinity and have just about everything past a few feet in front of you in sharp focus
  • too stiff and infinity focus/marking is often inaccurate and different depending on your copy.

  • Delivers decent shots for a small amount of money
