Great lens for certain needs.
Got this lens for the extreme wide angle. It does what I need it to do. If on 10mm it almost surrounds you in wide angle, but distorted as fisheyes do. At 17mm inside there is still some distortion, so be aware of this. Landscape shots at 17mm wouldn't show this as much. I got it for fun more than anything else. Build is very good, nice weight, and very solid, Small lens as many Pentax lenses seem smaller than their counter parts in Tamron, or Sigma for instance. The only draw back is that there are no filter threads so you will need to figure out something else if you need filters, but it can be done. Cokin filters can be handheld, but in 10mm it's hard not to catch your fingers. The little permanent hood protects the lens and may help somewhat in cutting flare, but a bigger hood would get in the picture, so you accept it, or rig something, I don't know what. Value?? I bought a Rokinon 8mm manual. I like that too, but mine is rectangular, where this is circular. Both are fun. The Pentax is twice the money, but you get a more consumer friendly lens, both seem well Glad I got it, that's about all I can say, except the pictures are acceptably to very sharp. The lens cap is a friction type, with a liner to hold it in place. I have had caps like this before without troubles, this is snug, may loosen with use, only time will tell that.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

A tank
Bought to use for 360 pano work. It stitches gracefully in PT GUI. A versatile albeit heavy zoom. Can be unbalanced if you do pole panos. Worth shaving lens hood to get a bigger circle of coverage on off cam. Resistant to lens flare. CA and fringing evident but correctable. Infinity focus is good but I back it off a bit. Images may appear a tad soft but careful sharpening does wonders. Very good value for a fisheye zoom though it needs some pp work.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

A very useful lens when you need
I don't need a super quality lens, but at least an adequate snapshooter. This one is compact, has a usable wide angle range. The lens distortions that are characteristic of the type correct well with Adobe lens profiles in Photoshop CC and Lightroom. I regret I waited so long to get one. Attached pic shot at 10mm with predictable results but the distortion can be tamed.

Back to my first (camera) love
My very first camera, back in 1984, was a Pentax K-1000. It was the most basic SLR you could buy. Literally thousands of Kodachrome images were taken by it in the subsequent years. I purchased a used Minolta system in the early 90's, thinking I could upgrade. It was never that great of a camera, and I always defaulted back to my Pentax. When my wife and I finally made the move to digital, we went with a Minolta, thinking I could use all of the lenses I had for the Minolta already. I did not do my homework as the lens mount had changed, rendering all of them useless. When the Minolta's shutter went out last year, I finally came back to my first love: Pentax. With both a K-3 II and now a K-1 body, I've been adding in some new lenses, and this one does not disappoint. Sharp, clear images and the "fisheye" wide angle view combined with Pentax's affordable technology mean I'm sold on them for life. I'm glad I came back home to Pentax.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Great Fisheye zoom
This fisheye has very accurate focus and produces very sharp images. The focus from 1.5feet to infinity is only about 1/4 inch for any thing but very close subjects. Some color fringing on extreme of some images but is easily removed with software. Very sharp ,even wide open. A good value, with great performance for its price range.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Fisheye fun!
I use this lens more for artistic shots than anything else. Excellent clarity and very little vignetting at 10mm. A must have lens for any enthusiast photographer.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New
