dougbenc 0 Posted August 7, 2010 For anyone that has used the D700 with the Nikkor 16mm fisheye I would love some feedback. Does the combination work well together? How is sharpness? Have you ever tried to use the combination with a 1.4 converter.. Thanks in advance... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Have you ever tried to use the combination with a 1.4 converter.. Thanks in advance... Works very well with or without the 1.4 TC. I use the 16mm with 1.4 TC frequently both for diving and pool work when I want something as wide as or wider than a rectilinear and I prefer a slight barrel distortion of the subject rather than the pincushion distortion of a rectilinear wide angle lens. Most of my pool work is shot with the 16mm 1.4 TC combination or 16-35 (Previously 17-35) depending on subject. I tend to use the 16 and TC more for full figure images and the 16-35 for portrait and torso work. www.waterworldimages.com Edited August 8, 2010 by loftus Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I remember reading something before about not using the filter but cannot find anything... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Alex_Mustard 0 Posted August 11, 2010 Not using the filter makes it focus marginally closer, but not much. It also stops it focusing on infinity on land. Many photographers (myself included) remove the filter on the back of the 16mm. But it is not essential. Alex Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Undertow 31 Posted September 3, 2010 i got the 16mm then replaced it with the sigma 15mm FE, which i use with a 1.4x tc all the time. the nikon 16mm, while sharper, doesn't focus close enough at all. cheers, chris Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
