(From Olympus lens literature) Hobbyists, photo enthusiasts and professionals alike will be captivated by the M.ZUIKO DIGITAL ED 8mm F1.8 PRO Fisheye lens' 180-degree diagonal angle of view. Like the M.ZUIKO DIGITAL ED 7-14mm F2.8 PRO, this lens includes dustproof and splashproof construction, for unlimited wide-angle adventure. The lens is also compatible with a custom dome port for use with an Olympus underwater housing.
The M.ZUIKO DIGITAL ED 8mm F1.8 PRO Fisheye lens is constructed of 17 elements in 15 groups and can capture high resolution at the very edges of an image, even at the maximum aperture of ƒ/1.8. ZERO Coating minimizes optical flares and ghosting. The lens also comes with a fixed lens hood and a pinch-style lens cap LC-62.
When used in conjunction with core OM-D technologies, like 5-axis image stabilization, the M.ZUIKO DIGITAL ED 8mm F1.8 PRO Fisheye opens the user up to new possibilities for long exposure hand-held shooting.
The M.ZUIKO DIGITAL ED 8mm F1.8 Fisheye PRO lens will be available in June 2015 (black) for an estimated street price of $999.99 (US) and $1,249.99 (Canada).
