Cheers,

I saw a review on amazon, with pictures included. It appears to be a circle fisheye, much like the lens baby one. And the reviewer used it on an Olympus camera:

Not that interesting in my opinion, I'm better off with a diagonal fisheye, like the Samyang 8mm f/2.8 or Sony 16mm+fisheye converter.

Prolly useful on a droneycopter, or even on a kite :-)   

    

Given the 4/3 sample you posted, this line from the 

linked seller page appears to be an inaccurate spec:  

  

"Ultra-190 Grad Diagonal Sichtfeld-für

APS-C Size Image Formate"   

  

Such a DIAGONAL FoV would indicate a "full frame 

fisheye" but it's apparent from the posted 4/3 sample 

that on an APSC this would be "circular fisheye", and 

that makes sense cuz 6.5mm X 1.5 crop factor equals 

a 10mm "FF equivalent FL". Most FF circular fisheyes 

are 8mm, so 10mm should certainly be close enuf. A 

typical "190 Grad Diagonal Sichtfeld " [note diagonal 

means implies "full frame fisheye" in fish-speak] has 

always been 15 or 16mm.

    • I'd opt for a small zoom, but I must admit that there seems to be a dearth of lenses in the e-mount in the 24-50mm range -- for some reason.  I have a small 24-70mm, but that's an a-mount Tamron.  Maybe you can find something by looking at lenses slightly longer.  I have a heavy, but small 24-100mm a-mount, and Tokina made a 24-200mm a-mount.  Maybe there are similar lenses in the e-mount.  Kill three birds with one stone.
    • Well this! Thank you! I have been following suggestion after suggestion for the past 3 hours with my a7CR and never thought of removing the battery. Magic!
    • I recently got an a7cii and to pair with the compact body, I thought of getting 2 of the trio compact lenses, 24mm F2.8 and 40mm F4.0. (I already have a 70-200mm) However I stumbled upon the newly released 24-50mm F2.8 G. I'm not sure which to get - I like the small factor of the prime lenses ON the body because it's discreet and helps me blend in as an average tourist / doesn't make it obvious when doing street. But if I add the dimensions of the 2 primes together, it takes up more space in the bag than the zoom lens. BUT THEN, the weight of the 2 prime lenses is 110g lesser than the zoom lens. The zoom lens has the added benefit of being more versatile.   So now I'm stumped. Each has their pros and cons and I can't decide which to get. I'd like to hear the views of you guys who are more experts at this.   Edit: I'm a bit concerned about weight because the last time I went overseas my shoulders were aching from carrying too much. Which is why I was looking for small compact primes in the first place.
