Great lens! I use this lens for portraits, and taking pictures of the Northern Lights, and other low light situations.

I bought this lens mainly to photograph northern lights. It works like a charm and no calibration needed.

I photograph the Northern Lights using a gimbal mount on a tripod. This means the camera is always in the horizontal position and that's very limiting. This rotating mount works perfectly. It's sturdy. All my Canon lenses fit. I can change rotation fast to compose images of rapidly-changing Northern Lights. I love it. Which I had it 10 years ago.

Bought this lens for picturing the northern lights in Finland. Despite many hours in -30 temps across several days, and frost on the whole lens, it kept working strong. I'm relatively new to photography, but I think I got some great shots, very sharp and full of color, plan on framing a few. My friends who are more experienced were impressed with the images. For my beginner status, I felt like this was a great value and would buy again.

Great lens for the price. Got to try it out the very first weekend with two nights of marathon northern lights, and it performed like a champ with both the Nikon D750 and D850. A bit soft around the outer edges, but that’s to be expected with a fisheye. Very happy with the purchase as I was finally able to get the entire sky in one shot! .

Purchased for photographing Northern Lights. Performs as expected and easy to use. A generic part would probably have worked, but I didn't want to take a chance.

for shooting northern lights this is great. this is the widest lens for fullframe sensor at F0.95 . I shoot northern lights realtime video with this baby, handheld thanks to IBIS, And even photo of northern lights , handheld - no tripod , at 1/5 sec shutter thanks to IBIS ... for portrait work the 45mm f/0.95 is probably better but for wider sky view this is a great lens .

Just got back from Alaska to photograph the Northern Lights. This tripod was heavy duty and easy to use. Stable in the snow and wind. Heavy and bulky for general vacation use but great for what I intended to use it for.
