That Rokinon is a full frame fisheye. The focal length on a NEX would be ideal underwater, but with manual aperture and no AF, it is a difficult proposition in a UW housing. A lot of people are using the 8mm Panasonic. On the OMD, it's a 5-axis stabilized fisheye! But unfortunately, Olympus' video codec is not very good and the bitrate too low. So, dark areas of deep blue water can have some noise. I really hope Oly addresses that in the future. --Jim On Feb 21, 2014, at 8:38 AM, Sonny Carter <sonc.hegr at gmail.com> wrote: > Jim asked, Sonny, do you know if the Voigtlander 15mm Heliar does the > magenta edges thing on the A7? > > I don't, but I'll take a look this afternoon.
