NIKON LENS REVIEWS
The Nikon 10.5mm is a DX fisheye lens. It is unique because it provides 180 degree coverage on DX cameras. A fisheye lens produces a distorted perspective where straight lines only remain straight when they pass through the center.
The Nikon 24mm f/1.4 is an exceptional lens. Although expensive, it does what no other modern 24mm can, shoot at f/1.4! This is the ultimate low light wide angle lens. VR is not required. This ultra sharp wide angle features low distortion, nice bokeh, and minimal to no flare.
