    Cons: Proprietary cap but that kinda goes with fisheyes. MF clutch would have been nice, but then again it\'s a fisheye, not a huge issue.

    Pros: It\'s practically flawless aside from a bit of CA in corners wide open.

    Summary: If you\'ve got the money or can find a used one cheap, it\'s a hella fun lens that was made with almost zero compromises.

    Cons: No MF clutch, but the focus ring is really well dampened.

    Pros: It\'s very long for a fisheye, allowing you to use cameras with big grips without your hand showing up in the frame.

    Summary: Pretty much the best fisheye there is. I can\'t really find a single flaw to it.

    Cons: A bit large for µ4/3, but only a bit. Smaller than the PRO zooms. Price new is a concern but, for the world's first f/1.8 fisheye, understandable.

    Pros: Outstanding image quality. Very sharp at f/1.8. Extremely sharp from f/2.8 and beyond. Flexiblity in lower light situations makes this lens for me.

    Summary: An f/1.8 full-frame fisheye that is unmatched in any sensor/film format. Stunning image quality and low light flexibility. Just awesome for dedicated fisheye users.
