[z0n5w3i]

Any one has any recommendation for good but more budget wide angle fisheye lens for EM10 since the fisheye converter lens from Olympus doesn't fit the new pancake lens.

Heard that the image quality is very bad?

Samyang 7.5mm f/3.5. Manual focus lens though. Panasonic 8mm, can AF, 3-4X the price of the Samyang

Olympus 9mm f/8 fisheye body cap give a lomo effect image quality

Actually nope, the IQ is quite decent. Honestly value for money at its price point.

Of course being f8 u might run into some difficulty in low light but ya, drop by the review post of that lens for a look.

If the samples imply very bad IQ, I think quite a lot of lenses can go into the dustbin

I find the olympus fisheye 9mm IQ still ok for that price.

There is always both sides of story.
Different people has different expectation.
Rather "heard", why don't you just Google it?

Thank You all for the Good advise! Samyang looks good! maybe I should look at the 9mm Fisheyes body cap too.

using it mainly for interior design shot with a little fisheye play feel.

Samyang 7.5mm

For fisheye lens, AF isnt necessary due to the huge depth of field. The samyang is a really sharp lens, and can even be defished in lightroom for a UWA perspective. I love mine!
