Interesting! Im wonder what that means if you actually want to walk around :) "This is not a lens that is designed to be manually focussed on the go. Instead it is designed to be preset at a distance and left"
I made some image samples with this lens.
Impressive! Any other thoughts about it in terms of build quality, focus ring, aperture ring, focus throw, etc?
This lens on a G7 seems like it would be such an awesome cheap set up for 360VR, anyone tried this?
$169 now, at B&H (through Jan 1).

Perfect match for the Z Cam E1. Just tried it out, at F8:
Finally finally, after an initial failed attempted, I have purchased and got a SLR Magic 8mm f4 lens:
Will be a fantastic lens I'm sure for my future vlogs, will mean it is easier for me to keep everything in frame even when handheld filming myself and trying to concentrate also on speaking etc
I paid more than double that due to Greek import tax, because they sent it from China with DHL. It is pretty soft even at F8, I think it is more usefull for video. I have used it with the GX80. The following was tweaked extensively with Resolve. Better watch on Youtube@1080p
