The massive 101mm front element produces the highest distortion of any fisheye lens available. With an amazing view of 220 degrees diagonally across the image area, the lens is ideal for creative shooting for applications including music videos and extreme sports. The body is metal and the lens is made of high index optical glass with a lens construction of 6 elements in 4 groups. Advances in high-index / low-dispersion optical glasses, new barrel materials, and exotic anti-reflection coatings, along with the latest in computer-aided-design / computer-aided-manufacturing, are combined to produce lenses of unprecedented quality. Diamond-cut from crystal-clear, water-white optical glass, Opteka lenses are ground and polished to a precise precision. This puts more creative control where it belongs - in your hands. Opteka lenses stand up to the most rigorous demands on the stage and on location. Opteka's hard anti-reflective (AR) coating offers protection specially formulated to resist flaking, peeling and scratching. This proprietary AR coating also reduces light loss and flare to less than 1% per surface, compared to untreated glass which has a light loss of 4% per surface. Opteka lenses allow you to shoot with total confidence!

Cheers mate ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Classic Fisheye Lens Great Value *by D***N on March 31, 2021* This is definitely a classic Fisheye. I bought it for wider shots and for filming skateboarding. It's wonderful. Many imitation lenses claim they're true fisheye and aren't. This one is. It's worth the money and I highly recommend. The downside is that it's a death lens. If it gets hit, it's likely gonna damage the camera it's on. If you got a beefy camera you might be okay but keep in mind if you're filming action sports with this and it gets hit, you're losing either the lens or the camera. I have mine mounted to a Sony Handicam on a Scorpion grip. That seems to work fine for stability. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Exactly what you would expect *by G***X on July 31, 2020* These pictures were shot on a canon zr65mc set to the "fine" picture quality. It fit the 30.5mm mount perfectly. Obviously 1024x768 is tiny compared to most modern cameras in 2020, but let's be real... If you're looking at this lens because you want a cheesy 80s/90s look, you've come to the right place. ### ⭐ Stay far far away, better options available *by D***Z on May 23, 2021* Every time. EVERY TIME!!! I keep giving Opteka chances with their product line, and they keep letting me down. This one is no different. Do NOT get this if you're a DSLR guy. Get the Meike 8mm (the one I currently own), Altura 8mm, or Rokinon 8mm (all currently at $140-200 at the time of this writing...). Mirrorless? Look into the Meike 6mm f/2.0 lens for like $140.As for this "panorama" and "vortex" and "fisheye" lens, you ge hat you paid for. Had to learn that the hard way. Do it right, and get the correct lens listed above. They dont break your bank, and honestly, it's what you're REALLY hoping, and searching for. :D --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.jp/products/2398471-opteka-platinum-series-37mm-0-2x-hd-large-panoramic-vortex](https://www.desertcart.jp/products/2398471-opteka-platinum-series-37mm-0-2x-hd-large-panoramic-vortex) --- *Product available on Desertcart Japan* *Store origin: JP* *Last updated: 2026-05-22*
