Now this is the Matt Granger I grew to love. Reviewing weird A.F. lenses. Ok my first lens was way back with the Nikkor 50mm f1.2 AIS but still... Love your lens reviews of strange lenses.

I wish they had this for Nikon Z. I’ve been looking for a good fish/super wide angle. The 14-30 is nice but I love the extreme angle of view the fish gives.

I have a Nikon 16mm f2.8 af fisheye. Its not an everyday lens for sure but everytime I use it it puts a smile on my face

That aperture combined with the fisheye fov is gonna make for some great skateboarding videos

Fascinating. Many thanks!

I'm not very into fisheyes but this diagonal fisheye seems super cool and useful

Really hoping you are able to capture some astrophotography images. It would be interesting to see how you approach doing it.

Wow! Sigma really did well here!

Excited to see what you capture in Japan, Kanpai

perfect for my plan for a skateboarding milky way shoot!

Are you able to do fisheye outdoor test?

Great for Northernlights 😍💙

Now I gotta see how this performs against the venerable Zeiss (classic) 15mm f/2.8. This is just nuts this lens they released.

Can you do a comparison of the 14mm vs the 15mm FE? I bought the 14 not knowing this 15mm behemoth was in the works. I'm just outside Tokyo if you want to borrow the 14!

Matt, did you test this adapted to Nikon? Would love this in Z mount, but that seems like it might be a ways off.

5:00 the night sky at the zenith, probably you won't see much in Hong Kong but you can give it a try

😂 and skateboarders in general.

Some scary poses there Matt 😮

Would be interesting to see if this lens could be used for portraiture i.e. minimum distance to subject without any or too much distortion with a vast backdrop, like a forest or cityscape.

You can get some really unique perspectives with a lens like that. That said it is tricky to use and tricky to control the distorsion and keep it pleasant to view.

Definitely a specialized niche lens

Can we expect any Art Nude Fisheye shoots anytime soon? hehe that would be wild with the way it could distort proportions when things get close to the lens!

We’ve met Matt’s alter ego Hat Granger.👌

When you're a skateboarder from 1996 but also have to be a professional photographer in 2024.

Have the DG HSM 14mm 1.8. Great lens, works just as well.! :)

fisheye challenge: street nose photography. bonus points for biggest schnoz. 😜

Great for music videos

It would be interesting for some users if the lens manufacture could include an optional rectilinear lens profile with these kind of fisheye lenses so that the user had the option of switching between the two lens profiles before capturing video. I know this can be corrected in post production, but it would be nice to have that option also during recording of the video.

Sigma sells a 14 mm f/1.4 DG DN Art lens that probably does that. It gives up some field of view.

Rather than astro, if you have a clear night outside of a major city, try a timelapse of the night sky.

Nebula Photos has a fantastic Astro Review of this lens against Sigmas own 14mm f1.4

Laowa just released a 10mm 2.8 AF for Sony and Nikon Z

Yep. I saw.

Nice lenses😊

Yeah, I've got a question. Why didn't Sigma make this as a much smaller f/2 lens? Why this monster? I have an adapted Sigma DSLR fisheye lens. It's f/2.8. It has noticeable chromatic aberrations. A new lens that corrects for that is welcome, but f/1.4 whlich weighs 3 lbs and costs $1999? Is there really a market for that?

Why did Sigma make this awesome 15mm 1.4 lens with such a terrible rear mount filter system? I was hoping for the same as the 14-24mm 2.8 system.

I thought it’s 130 degrees ? lol
