Curious how the Rokinon 8mm fisheye works on the Q. Is it still a fisheye? Or since the Q only takes the image from dead center of the lens, is the effect nonexistent? (And if not, can it be corrected in post?)

How sharp is it? Curious if anyone has used it at all on the Q.

Charles.

Hi ChopperCharles,

The Pentax DA 10-17 is also a 180° FE at 10mm, and becomes almost rectilinear on the Q with only a bit more barrel distortion as the 02 zoom at 10mm. I'd suspect that the Rokinon 8 would be close to the same.
