Panasonic H-F008 8mm

★★★★★ 5.0 (4)

With a 180° diagonal field of view and an ED element suppressing distortion, this 8mm f/3.5 lens delivers sharp fish-eye shots while weighing just 165g. Its 0.1m minimum focus and inner focus system let you create dramatic close-ups without physically repositioning, a rare trait in ultra-wide lenses. Street and travel photographers who need an autofocus fisheye for tight urban compositions and expansive interiors will find it a lightweight, go-to tool.
