Exclusive DX Fisheye Design

The Nikon AF DX NIKKOR 10.5mm f/2.8G ED is a fixed focal length fisheye lens built exclusively for Nikon DX-format DSLR cameras. It delivers a full 180-degree diagonal angle of view that fills the frame with ultra-wide perspective. The 10.5mm focal length provides an equivalent field of view to 16mm on a 35mm format sensor. This lens is intended for photographers seeking creative distortion and immersive wide-angle capture on APS-C bodies.

Simple Mount with Screw-Drive Focus

The lens attaches via the standard Nikon F-mount and relies on the camera body's internal screw-drive motor for autofocus operation. No internal focus motor is present, so autofocus will not function on DX bodies that lack a built-in focus drive screw. Close-range correction technology maintains sharpness down to a minimum focus distance of 0.14 m (5.5 in.) from the sensor plane or 0.03 m (1.2 in.) from the lens front. A built-in flower-type lens hood protects the protruding front element.

Consistent Sharpness at Close Range

Extra-low Dispersion (ED) glass minimises chromatic aberration throughout the frame, even when focusing at the closest distances. The Close-Range Correction system adjusts internal lens group spacing automatically to sustain corner-to-corner sharpness during extended close-up sessions. A rounded diaphragm renders out-of-focus highlights naturally when stopping down from the maximum f/2.8 aperture. This optical design is optimised for the smaller DX image circle rather than full-frame coverage.

Questions about this item

How can I confirm the 180-degree angle of view is active on my DX camera?

Mount the lens on a DX-format DSLR, frame a scene and verify the image fills the frame edge-to-edge with the characteristic fisheye curvature at 180 degrees diagonal.

What is included in the box and which accessories must be purchased separately?

The lens ships with front and rear caps and a built-in flower-type hood; filters, a pouch or case and any adapter rings are sold separately.

Should I choose this 10.5 mm f/2.8G ED DX fisheye or a full-frame fisheye for my DX body?

This 10.5 mm lens is designed exclusively for DX sensors, giving a 180-degree diagonal view equivalent to 16 mm on 35 mm; a full-frame fisheye would not cover the same angle on DX.
