6mm/f2.8 fisheye Nikkor review

[MFloyd]

6mm f/2.8 is spectacular (I remember for having seen it at Photokina 1972 ?), and it is also a technical masterpiece. I have no exact recollection why this lens have been build for (calculate cloud coverage ?), but certainly not for creative photography. Personally, I have never been thrilled by fisheye pictures. This is only my personal opinion, which nobody is obliged to share of course

Definitely a new low for the GoW channel! GoW has always been a professional source, but this??? Interesting that Gray Levett doesn't step in....

Why new low ?

Since you marked "new" in bold I can assume it was always low for you?
Some of the videos were ok to be fair but many details were/are wrong or incomplete.
I admit I am a different generation

Truly a lens you newer forget seeing, even more so shooting!

Yes cloud coverage was one application they mention in early Nikon literature I recall.

Yes, quite a pointless video I agree. The lens requires so much of the photographer.
