Nikon NIKKOR 1910 16mm
Its 16mm focal length and bright f/2.8 aperture capture full-frame 180-degree diagonal fisheye images, with a Close-Range Correction system maintaining sharpness from 0.25m to infinity. At just 289g, it remains exceptionally lightweight for a fisheye, and the Super Integrated Coating suppresses flare for high-contrast results even wide open. This lens suits portrait and street photographers who want exaggerated, immersive perspectives with reliable D-type autofocus.
