Our take on the OM SYSTEM M.ZUIKO DIGITAL ED 8mm F1.8 Fisheye PRO Lens

The M.Zuiko Digital ED 8mm f/1.8 Fisheye PRO is a Micro Four Thirds fisheye that fills the whole rectangular frame with a 180° view, equivalent to 16mm on full frame. Its f/1.8 aperture is unusually fast for a fisheye, so it gathers far more light than the f/3.5 fisheyes most systems offer, and it is dust, splash and freezeproof. A 1 aspherical, 3 ED and 3 HR element layout plus ZERO coating keeps edges sharp and contrast high. It suits landscape, architecture, astro and action shooters who want a weather-sealed fisheye with usable low-light speed; the trade-off is the deliberate distortion and the lack of autofocus on some older bodies.

What reviewers say

Owners rate it as one of the sharpest and fastest fisheyes for Micro Four Thirds, praising its weather sealing and low-light ability. Complaints center on its size and weight and on the distortion that comes with the design.

What people mention
  • SharpnessPraisedOwners say it stays sharp across the frame, even at f/1.8.
  • AperturePraisedThe fast f/1.8 maximum is cited as a real advantage for night and indoor shots.
  • BuildPraisedThe dust, splash and freezeproof sealing is trusted in rain and cold.
  • SizeCriticisedReviewers call it large and heavy compared with slower fisheye lenses.
  • DistortionMixedThe 180° fisheye look is striking but limits how often the lens gets used.
  • AutofocusPraisedThe MSC motor is described as quick and quiet for both stills and video.

About the OM SYSTEM M.ZUIKO DIGITAL ED 8mm F1.8 Fisheye PRO Lens

The M.Zuiko Digital ED 8mm F1.8 Fisheye PRO is a fisheye lens for Micro Four Thirds mirrorless cameras. It gives a 180° angle of view and a 16mm full-frame-equivalent focal length. It covers the full area of the rectangular image sensor and produces dramatic distortion and a creative depiction of space.

The optical design uses one aspherical ED element, three Super ED (extra-low dispersion) elements, one Super HR (high-refractive index) element and two HR elements. These help minimize aberrations, distortion and color fringing. A ZERO (Zuiko Extra-Low Reflection Optical) coating on individual elements reduces lens flare and ghosting in strong lighting. The diaphragm has 7 rounded blades.

The Movie & Still Compatible (MSC) autofocus system is smooth, quiet and fast for both photo and video. The lens is dust, splash and freezeproof for use in inclement weather and harsh environments. The 4.7" minimum focusing distance and 0.4x-equivalent maximum magnification allow close-up shots with an exaggerated perspective.

Questions and answers

Is this lens worth it over a slower fisheye?
If you shoot in low light or need weather sealing, the f/1.8 aperture and PRO build set it apart from slower fisheyes. For occasional fisheye shots, a cheaper f/3.5 lens covers the same 180° view.
Does it work on any Micro Four Thirds camera?
Yes, it mounts on Micro Four Thirds bodies from OM System, Olympus and Panasonic. Autofocus needs a body that supports MSC lenses; very old bodies may be manual focus only.
How wide is the view?
It gives a 180° diagonal angle of view, equivalent to 16mm on full frame, and fills the whole rectangular sensor rather than a circular image.
Is it weather sealed?
Yes. It is dust, splash and freezeproof, so it can be used in rain and cold when paired with a sealed body.
Can I use filters on it?
No. The bulbous front element has no filter thread, so you cannot screw on standard filters.
What is in the box?
The lens comes with front and rear caps and a lens case; no hood is included because the front element is built in.
