Description — Olympus 8mm f/3.5 Fisheye
The Olympus M.Zuiko Digital ED 8mm f/3.5 Fisheye is a prime fisheye lens designed specifically for the Micro Four Thirds mirrorless system. With a fixed focal length of 8mm and a maximum aperture of f/3.5, it provides photographers with a dedicated wide-angle fisheye option in a compact form factor. The lens weighs just 315g, keeping the overall kit weight manageable for travel or on-location shoots.
Both autofocus and manual focus are supported, offering versatility in how you choose to operate the lens depending on subject and conditions.
