Mounted on the PENTAX *ist D series of digital SLRs, the DA Fish-Eye 10-17mm lens will capture fish-eye imagery with a 180 degree angle of view and a focal length of 10mm as well as super wide-angle performance. Capture images with an expanded perspective including creative deformation of subjects and sharp pan focus that extends throughout the entire frame. The image circle in DA-series lenses is designed to perfectly match the 23.5mm x 15.7mm size of the CCD used in PENTAX digital SLRs to optimize camera performance. The new design also contributes to a drastic reduction in size, weight and production cost, compared to 35mm-format counterparts with similar specifications. Minimize

Full metal barrels, decent sharpness across the frame.

Author's Rating: Rating: 5/5 stars

Pros: Full metal barrels, decent sharpness across the frame.

Cons: Visible CA.

Author's Review
An unusually well made fun lens which has full metal construction even the inner barrels. Zooming is ultra smooth. Sharpness is decent across the frame and quite unexpected for such lens. It has however visible CA which some find annoying. But the only complaint I have is that the inner side of the metal cap is not fully clothed so the edge of the hood could be worn over time. It is superficial but I re-taped the whole thing anyway.
