francisco_arcaute Posted October 11, 2007 Share Posted October 11, 2007 Folks I own an Arsat 30mm from my Kiev 6 days - if I mount it on my Nikon D80, any idea what lens size that translates as? Will it still retain any "fisheye-ness?" Thanks F Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wharridge Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 The focal length doesn't change, just crop your neg/transparency to the size of a D80 sensor and that's what you'll get. Basically boring with a bit of barrel distortion. ...Wayne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ulrik Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 Any 28 mm lens with Nikon mount will please you more regarding image quality and size/weight. Ulrik Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robert_marvin Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 A really useful P-6 mount lens for your digitakl SLR would be a 180/2.8 Sonnar AND it would also build muscle mass :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shambrick007 Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 If you want a fisheye effect on a cropped 1.5 camera you only choices are the Nikon 10mm of the Peleng 8mm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mawz Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 You'll get a mildly distorted equivalent to a 45mm on 35mm film. Pretty useless all told. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
papy_g1 Posted November 23, 2007 Share Posted November 23, 2007 As said, you'll have a not-so-wide angle view, and a little barrelled picture. If you want fish-eye, you have ones from 16mm (Zenitar) to 8mm (Peleng), the choice depends on your will to have, or not, a full-frame picture. As the Peleng has been designed to fit 24x36mm cropped, perhaps it will be full frame on a half-format DSLR sensor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
