This lens brings a new level of refinement to the curvy distortion of fish-eye photography. Unlike fixed-focal-length fisheyes, it allows you to zoom to control how much of a scene you want to take in, and to tweak a composition when you can't do so by changing your physical distance. Though the new Tokina's nominal focal length range is the equivalent, for D-SLRs, of about 15-24mm in 35mm, it actually delivers a full 180-degree angle of view at its short end, narrowing to 100 degrees at the longest. SD glass helps sharpen and downsize the lens by reducing the number of needed elements. About $600.
