LB Fisheye question on smaller sensor cameras posted by swandy October 23, 2009 10:11AM reply | quote

I have two Olympus cameras - the E30 (4/3 camera) and the EP1 (micro 4/3 camera) - both use the 4/3 sensor which has a 2x crop factor (when compared to 35mm/full frame) cameras.
Very interested in the fish-eye optic, but how would it work on a camera with a crop factor? I assume that the "fish-eye effect" would not be as pronounced because of the change in field of view?
Any samples from 4/3 users?
Thanks,
Steve

Hi Steve,
I have shot it on both the Nikon and Olympus systems and it is very nice on both. On Olympus it does give you a lot of the fisheye effects but not the peep hole look. On the Olympus it is a 24mm lens where as the Zuiko fisheye is a 16mm lens. I think you will find it acts more like a traditional very wide angle lens. You will be pleased. I hope this helps.

Mike Kobal has a video partly shot with the LB FE on a GH1 (m4/3rds) on Vimeo. This is the link to his blog--with the Vimeo video. Very nice--interesting effect on m4/3rds.
