Good review of the lens although I don't think you mentioned that it is a crop lens (I assumed as much given the cost and size but went to check). Obviously on the R5 a crop lens still gives you lots of MP to work with, but on my R6 crop mode takes the resolution down pretty low...
This is Bill, I have used a DX lens on my Nikon full frames for years and you're right you do lose a little bit of the sensor but I've never had an issue as far as resolution goes.
Certainly it is doable and actually less of a downside on a Nikon with a 1.5 crop versus 1.6. On an R5 you'd still have about 17mp but on the R6 the crop leaves only 6.6mp. Not unusable and either LR Super Resolution or Gigapixel AI can get some detail back but still something worth mentioning. Keep the videos going...good to have you guys back.
Great review Eric that addition of a ND filter is brilliant, sample images are excellent.
Thanks Paul! Yeah that ND filter really puts this lens over the top!

@@mwbrown25 so this lens isn’t useable on a 24 megapixel camera? My Z6ii is only 24 megapixels and ?? In crop mode.
Still very usable even on a 24mp camera
Looks like a nice lens at a low price point. This is a DX lens? So you’re shooting in DX mode. Thank you
Basically yes. I’m getting a full round image on the sensor. I can use the crop mode in the camera to get a full frame fisheye.
@@BillEricPhotography I’m reading this lens is unless on a FX 24 megapixels camera in DX as opposed to a 46 megapixel camera. Thank you
I think you’ll be fine with a 24mp camera there’s still plenty of pixels left. Unless you’re making a 6 foot print.
This or their 11mm full frame version?
There is not a full frame version.
Thank you.
Thank you
