Selling this to fund my new filter system. It's not a pretty lens but it delivers and works! Before it came to me the previous owner had dropped it and the lens hood petal had bared the brunt breaking. Using a Dremmel I carefully removed the jagged edges so it didn't catch on anything and look a bit prettier. It is build like a tank and works 100% with no issues at all. The last image shows the front optic that does have some small marks on it. TBH the images make it look worse than what it is. Being a fish eye they do not show up at all in the images. Shame it's not the Mk2 version as that lens hood is removable and can be bought as a separate part!

I'm selling this cheap due to the above. I've looked at completed eBay listings and these sell for circa £120 so I'm looking for a mere £65 for this.

So if you're looking for a cheap as chips fish eye that can take a battering and perform then look no further!
