Hi there again, Izzy from Digital Goja
showroom and today we're going
to take a look at the Olympus Zuiko 8mm
fisheye PRO series lens f1.8.
Now, if this video helps you

underneath and subscribe to the channel
for future unboxings and sessions such
as this, and as always
any comments or questions place them below.
And don't forget, when visiting Miami,
come say hi to me at Digital Goja showrooms.
Alright, so let's take a look, this is
another one of their fabulous new
PRO line, this is the ED 8mm f1.8.
This is Olympus stepping up their
game when it comes to their pro series
lenses beautiful presentation box get
another box, but again they want to make
sure that this gets to you in one piece.
Alright so, first thing up is your
warranty card, 1-year manufacturer
warranty, of course this is in the US and if
its purchase from an authorized dealer
like Digital Goja. Also, an instruction
pamphlet that explains some of the specs
and so forth on your new Olympus Zuiko
lens. Pouch! Very nice, that way when
you're not using it or when you're
swapping out lenses you can put your
other optics in here or this could be a
great way to store it. Leather feeling or
leatherette, nice cordura nylon, very
nicely lined and it's nice and padded so
that way you can do one of these numbers, and it is
still protected with a nice drawstring
to close it up.
That's a nice added touch, let's see if I
get to the actual lens, yet another box.
Wow, they really want to protect this guy,
yep there it is, here is the new
8mm from Olympus, let's take a
closer look at this lens. Now of course
this is for micro four thirds system so
it's an 8mm in the micro
four-thirds mount. If we were working
with a full-frame equivalent like a
35mm equivalent this will be a
16mm. The beauty of it is that it's
a constant f/1.8 so it's not going
to be a variable aperture so that you
can have beautiful bokeh
when you open up to the maximum aperture. Also
helps that it has a seven blade rounded
diaphragm. Now it is a pro line so that
means it's completely dustproof,
splash-proof and freeze-proof design.
Notice how it has an o-ring in the back
with a nice metal mount with beautiful
gold contacts. It has full time manual focus
which is very important,
remember it has a 180 degree angle of
view so it's going to have a tremendous
amount of depth of field but it is their
high speed AF MSC focusing system which
is fantastic
even for video. They put an
anti-reflection zero coating in the front
because notice that there is really no
way to put a filter on here so you have
to have this front element protected
that's why it has this beautiful built-in
tulip lens hood to make sure that you don't
do anything damaging to the front
element. Of course it has 5 ED glass,
1 aspherical element, 3 HR elements
basically what that means is that
Olympus again went ahead and put
together a fantastic pro series lens for
the micro four-thirds mounts, so this
will work as usual with all your Olympus
Pen and OM-D lineup of cameras plus it
also functions rather well with Panasonic
and even some of the Blackmagic Design
cameras that are on the market. So if you
are in the market for a really good fisheye,
which will meet all expectations for
both video and imaging needs, take a much
closer look at the Olympus Zuiko 8mm
f1.8 PRO series lens.
Happy shooting!
