Epic 6mm Fisheye with a Whopping 220 Angle of View

Holy epic optics Batman! The Nikon 6mm 2.8 fisheye is something to behold.

Unless you’re Bruce Wayne you’ll probably never own this beauty. In fact it last sold for a whopping price of around 160,000.

True most of us probably don’t need a lens this wide. But a 220 degree view. That’s out of control folks. Like being a super hero or something. This image is from the MIR listing for the lens, where you can read all about it and it’s stunning specs.

Not your every day kit lens, but quite a thing to behold. Watch for scratches though. You’re not gonna be fitting a filter on that 236mm front element.

Glad you're here.

I'm from WA State USA and started studying photography in 97. I started work as a pro (using that word loosely because I sucked) using film at age 16. I learned fast but was not as easy to find training then. Sometimes I beat my head against the wall until I figured stuff out.

As digital dawned I went all in and got to study with masters like Ken Whitmire. In 09 I founded the Pro Photo Show podcast. I started promoting tone-focused editing. When Lightroom arrived, I started developing tools to make editing and workflow better.

20 years of study and photography around the country earned me a Master of Photography (M.Photog) from PPA. I got to see my workshops and tools featured in publications across the industry. Once I even won the prestigious HotOne award for my "EXposed" light and tone workshop.

Wanting something calmer, I moved to Mexico in 2017. It's a land of magical light. I'm here now exploring light and trying to master my weak areas. I make videos of that for my Youtube channel, sharing what I learn. I hope you'll stick around and be part of Light Hunters Tribe... Gavin
