Pentax SMC P-DA Fish-Eye 10-17mm f/3.5-4.5 ED Lens Review
v
This strange lens offers the distorted view of a fisheye lens, with the convenience of a zoom lens. It offers a 180degree field of view, from corner to corner when set at 10mm and the equivalent of a 25.5mm lens on a 35mm camera, with lots of barrel distortion, at 17mm. Some people may realise that this lens looks identical to the Tokina 10-17mm fisheye zoom available for Canon and Nikon mounts. Both lenses share the same optics, but the Pentax version is different in terms of design and build.
