Q: 1. I am confused. How do you manually focus a pinhole which by its very nature is always in focus?

A: Lensbaby Obscura 50 with Fixed Body for Canon EF comes with pinhole, zone plate, and pinhole sieve. With each one the minimum focusing distance changes. It will be a minimum focusing distance of Pinhole: 0.04", Pinhole Sieve: 9", Zone Plate: 10".

Q: 2. When used on FX body, will the circular image have a crisp border which would not require the use of PS or similar, or is PS or similar needed to sharpen the edge of the image?

A: When using the Rokinon 8mm Ultra Wide Angle f/3.5 Fisheye Lens for Nikon w/Focus Confirm Chip on a FX camera one will not get a circular image. This lens is designed for DX cameras and the non-removable hood is visible in the image when shot on FX.

Q: 3. With the Nikon DX format cameras, does the 1.5 crop factor have play in this lens?

A: Sorry, answers mixed. 8mm gives you 12mm equivalent on a DX body.

Q: 4. will this work with a EOS 1000D?

A: The Rokinon 8mm Ultra Wide Angle f/3.5 Fisheye Lens for Canon EF Mount is compatible with the Canon Rebel XS (1000D).

Q: 5. I have a Nikon 7100. I see that it says works best with a full frame, obviously my 7100 is a crop sensor. Will this still work? Is it worth it? I either want to buy this and a 35 or a 50. If it's not worth it on a crop senor I'm going to buy an 80.

A: Yes, it will work, but because this lens projects a full frame image circle and an APS-C sensor only sees a cropped portion inside that image circle, most of the swirly bokeh effect will be cropped out.

Q: 6. Is this compatible with D600?

A: You could use the Rokinon 8mm f/3.5 fisheye lens on the D600, but you would want to shoot in DX mode, as the lens will not cover the full frame sensor.

Q: 7. I have an older Nikon (D70)as well as a newer (D5100). My older lenses work on my D5100 with the exception of the Auto Focus due to the new design of the motor drive or location. Will this lens mount on the either camera and will the functions be typical? Thanks!

A: This lens will mount on both of your camera bodies, however there is no autofocus on this lens. You will still be able to use functions such as auto exposure and focus confirmation.

Q: 8. I just order one here on B&H. HOPE it does Come with lens caps. On the Lensbaby site is says it comes with front and rear caps but here on B&H the in the box description doesn't show that??? In fact they offered me a $10 Lensbaby front cap as a recommended accessory. Guess I'll find out when it arrives next Tuesday.

Q: 9. Can I remove the Obscura optic from this Obscura 50 Fixed Body and replace it with the Sweet 35 optic?

A: As the Lensbaby Obscura 50 with Fixed Body is a part of Lensbaby's Optic Swap System and it is Optic Swap-compatible, you would be able to use the Sweet 35 optic with the above lens. However, do note that has this is a fixed body lens, you would not be able to bend/tilt the Sweet 35 Optic when using it with this lens.

Q: 10. Can I put a filter on this lens? If so, what mm?

A: Unfortunately, the Rokinon 8mm f/3.5 fisheye does not have a front filter thread, nor is there a filter holder on the market for this lens I am aware of. So, you could not use filters with this lens.
