Distinctive DX Fisheye Perspective

The Nikon 10.5mm f/2.8G Fisheye DX lens delivers a 180-degree diagonal angle-of-view on DX-format cameras. Its ultra-wide fisheye projection creates pronounced barrel distortion for creative, immersive compositions. The fast f/2.8 maximum aperture supports low-light shooting and shallow depth-of-field effects. This lens is built for photographers seeking a unique, exaggerated perspective.

Optical Clarity and Close Focus

Extra-low dispersion and aspherical elements control chromatic and spherical aberrations for sharpness across the frame. Super Integrated Coating reduces flare and ghosting in bright or backlit conditions. Close Range Correction maintains consistent image quality throughout the focusing range. Minimum focus distance reaches 5.5 inches for dramatic close-up exaggeration.

Silent Wave Motor and Compact Build

Silent Wave Motor provides fast, quiet autofocus operation suited to both stills and video. DX-Nikkor design reduces the image circle for a compact, lightweight form factor. The G-type aperture ring allows electronic aperture control from the camera body. Lens hood is not included due to the extreme angle-of-view.
