This 8mm f/2.8 has been Nikon's standard circular fisheye lens since 1970. They haven't been sold new since 1997, which is no problem since the world has enough used ones to go around for a very long time.

Apr 7, 2022 · Less than 40 years later, Nikon released the 8mm f/8 Fish-eye Nikkor, a lens designed for two specific scientific purposes and some incidental creative use.

The Nikon Fisheye-Nikkor 8mm f/2.8 AI is a circular fisheye, meaning that on a film based camera or a FX sized Dslr it produces a circular image. The 8mm Fisheye-Nikkor provides you with a 180° field of view in every direction, compared to 180° diagonally on the full frame fisheyes.

Nov 17, 2024 · These are the fisheye lenses in Nikon’s current DSLR lineup. The Nikon AF-S 8-15mm f/3.5-4.5E ED is Nikon’s newest (and highest-priced) fisheye.

The Fisheye-Nikkor 8mm F/2.8 lens sees and records every object in a full 180 degree hemisphere - everything in front, above, below and to either side of the lens. Unlike other fisheye lenses, it fits the camera without any need to lock up the reflex mirror and takes full advantage of the reflex viewing feature of all Nikon cameras.
