User Guide
Thank you for purchasing the Altura Photo 8mm f/3.5 Fisheye Lens!
Your new lens is an excellent addition to your collection, allowing you
to vastly diversify your photographic capabilities with a new and
unique perspective. The special design of Altura Photo Fisheye
allows you to create images with an expanded perspective when
paired with an APS-C image sensor. These photos will give you a
creatively desired deformation in the image as well as a sharp pan
focus consistent throughout the entire frame.
With a 180-degree, diagonal field of view, this lens creates amazing
images with exaggerated perspectives and distortions that are
unique to fisheye technology. Its minimum focusing distance of only
0.3 meters (12 inches) is ideal for close-up shots or close quarter
photography. Altura Photo magnificent fisheye also employs a
multi-layer coating to reduce flares and ghosting while providing
optimal color balance.
