recommendable FishEye

I once had a fisheye, but then from Sigma and for small format. How then, is not a true 180 ° walimeXpro 7.5mm Fischeye, yes that would only supply round images with at least 180 °, but built for allegedly 180 ° screen size, which means that the effective horizontal image angle theory is only about 150 degrees. In fact, I would estimate the horizontal angle at most to 120-130 degrees, because there is not much Unterschgied at a good wide-angle. After initial problems - the Fisheye was not recognized by the Panasonic GH1 and therefore yielded no image, but only a warning and not the camera manual, yet in the description of the objective, there was a help to - I wanted to wrap up the lens again and at Amazon send back when I could think of as a last resort even the customer reviews and lo and behold, the tip "release without lens" also works in the camera settings of the GH1.

Unfortunately disturbing is the somewhat stiff and not easily accessible aperture ring because the subject search you have with an open aperture and then you have the desired aperture before triggering set manually. This is of course only for landscapes, that on a snapshot object waits certainly not until you have changed the lens again ;-)

Basically, I recommend this lens all amateur photographers and if you GH1 adjusts the image size in the Panasonic to full size, then you also get 180 ° angle of the image. If less than the full resolution image while the viewfinder shows the GH1 180 ° images, but the images are cropped to about 160 degrees !!! Apart from the manual aperture adjusted, this FishEye is a very good lens and recommended for effects shots or wide landscapes.

Enclosed 2 compared photos. The added 1 photo to the walimeXpro Fisheye 7.5mm medium image resolution and the second photo with the aspherical Panasonic 7-14mm wide angle with 114 ° angle of view, however, that had cost so much about times 4.
