Ultra-wide 16 mm fisheye

This fixed-length fisheye lens delivers a 180-degree diagonal angle of view on full-frame Nikon DSLRs. The f/2.8 maximum aperture supports low-light shooting and shallow depth of field. Autofocus operation and a Close-Range Correction system maintain sharpness from 0.25 m to infinity. It suits photographers who want dramatic, frame-filling perspectives for landscapes, architecture and creative close-ups.

F-mount prime for FX and DX bodies

The lens mounts directly on Nikon F-mount cameras, covering the full FX image circle while also working on DX bodies with a cropped field of view. Its compact, lightweight design adds minimal bulk to a kit bag. The non-zoom optical formula means fewer moving parts and a constant physical length during focusing. No lens hood is included because the built-in petal shape is integrated into the barrel.

Replaces cropped ultrawide zooms

Photographers moving from a DX ultrawide zoom gain true 180-degree diagonal coverage and a faster f/2.8 aperture across the frame. The jump is worth it when you need the distinctive fisheye curvature and edge-to-edge sharpness at maximum aperture. It does not serve shooters who require rectilinear correction, zoom flexibility or filter threads on the front element.

Questions about this item

At what minimum focus distance does the 16mm fisheye stop focusing closer?

The lens focuses down to 0.25 m (0.85 ft) from the subject, so you cannot get any closer than that distance.

How much heat or noise does the AF Fisheye-NIKKOR 16mm f/2.8D produce during all-day shooting?

The lens has no motor or electronics that generate heat or noise; only the camera body’s autofocus drive and shutter make sound or warmth.

Which Nikon DSLR bodies can autofocus with the AF Fisheye-NIKKOR 16mm f/2.8D?

Only Nikon DSLRs that have a built-in autofocus motor (screw-drive bodies) will autofocus with this lens; entry-level models without the motor will require manual focus.
