Panasonic Lumix G Fisheye 8mm
The 8mm focal length and 180-degree field of view on Micro Four Thirds create a distinct, exaggerated perspective with a close 3.9-inch minimum focus distance. Its compact, manual-focus design is complemented by a bundled accessory kit including a 32GB SD card and cleaning tools for immediate use. This lens is best for MFT shooters wanting to experiment with dramatic, ultra-wide distortion in confined spaces or creative close-ups.
