Meike 3.5mm f/2.8 Fisheye 4mm
Its 220° circular fisheye perspective on Micro Four Thirds bodies creates a distinct, immersive look unavailable from standard rectilinear lenses. The all-metal build and bright f/2.8 aperture provide durability and low-light capability in a compact 190g package, making it easy to carry for spontaneous shooting. This lens is best for skate videographers, concert photographers, and real estate shooters who need dramatic, stylized distortion rather than technical accuracy.
