Fisheye lens help

Teabag_Terry2 · 10 Jul 2016 at 19:04

Hi guys.

I have a Nikon D3300, which you may or may not be aware, has no built in AF motor so to autofocus needs lenses which have a motor built in.

I don't seem to be able to find a fisheye lens (diagonal) that will autofocus with my camera.

Is there a nikon fit fisheye with built in autofocus? I just can't figure it out.

Cheers.

Sigma 4.5mm?

Do you really need autofocus on the fisheye though - the depth of focus on these things are huge. If you focus at 1m then you'll have a hell of a lot in focus.

Although not quite answering your question, focus isn't normally that much of an issue with a fisheye lens due to the large depth of field.

As above, you basically have infinite DoF as soon as you are focus a few feet in front and not wide open.
