A Spin with 25mm Pancake

In this particular session, I only used the Olympus Zuiko Pancake 25mm F2. 8 lens, all the way with my E-5. I did bring along the fisheye and my staple lens, 50mm F2, but surprisingly I did not switch lens even once throughout this morning. Not bad, coming from a budget standard lens, though I must admit the performance in terms of sharpness and overall image quality is no where near any of the High Grade Zuiko lenses. Therefore, I can conclude that the 25mm pancake lens is surprisingly flexible and versatile, almost usable in every shooting situations. But hey, expectations and measurebating aside, the lens delivered what it promised: a good all around performer for everyday general shooting.

Calvin & Mabel: A Wedding in KL

Remember the couple that got married in Bali not too long ago (click here if you have not read that entry), Calvin and Mabel , my friends whom I have known from Perth, that I had the honor and privilege to be their photographer. But before the reception dinner, we went around the hotel and snapped some portrait shots of Calvin and Mabel. Initially I intended to bring the couple out to the Taman Tasik Perdana which was not too far away from their hotel for an outdoor portraiture shooting.   The biggest challenge was not being fully prepared for this shooting session, because we did not anticipate the last minute change of venue, and I did not do prior research on the hotel Nonetheless, considering the tight schedule of the day, it was decided to just shoot within the hotel compound....

how do i get a fingerprint smuge off of my zuiko fisheye lens?

I was taking pictures with my fisheye lens at a birthday party and the child put a cake fingerprint on me lens, when i wiped it off with a cloth, a little of the coating came off the lens.


Use a good cleaning kit.
A chamois cloth should do well alone. Add some lens cleaner fluid and it should do right.

I doubt that the Coating has flaked off. Nowadays they are rather resistant.


Charles D

Go to a camera or photo shop. They have lens cleaners and lens cleaning paper. These will
probably do the job.


M W

Use a small amount of water and a cloth. It'll help a lot if you haven't already tried. Cheapest and easiest way.


kaptainfelix

If some of the coating came off the lens then you're only options are to either get the lens recoated (I don't know how much this will cost but it won't be cheap)

......or sell it.

...or put up with it.

My only complaint is the cap that Nikon provides with it. It slips off easily and since the lens can not fit a normal filter to protect the objective glass, you have a potential for scratching or at least getting the lens smudged - too much... Terrific standard fisheye lens By RonAnnArbor This is a terrific standard fisheye lens. A True Fisheye Lens for Digital Cameras By Ralph W. SCHARDT This is a great lens for fun and creativity. I find myself pulling this lens out of the bag more and more often as I see a landscape or object that deserves the wide perspective captured by this lens. Superb fish-eye lens for some great photos By Lihkin I had been putting off buying this lens as I thought that it would get limited use. I mark it down one...

Opteka Fisheye Review



Opteka 6.5mm fisheye review

A photographers review of the Opteka 6.5mm fisheye. Good price. Good build. Just a good lens.

Which Fisheye Lens for a Nikon D60?

I have a Nikon DSLR D60 and really want to experiment more with different shots.


The 'screw on' fisheye lens are very cheap in terms of quality and performance.

These lens give an effect of more 'barrel distortion' instead of a real, true fisheye lens which gives an extremely wide angle of view.
