Well. Now did you remember which, more or less in 2013 - 14 - 15 someone re-discover the particular bokeh of the Helios 44-* and all just want to have that cheap - crappy lens because, in true, is super sharp with that particular swirl bokeh, is well builded and fun to be use? Well........ sometimes people is just too hasty and superficial in comments, judging products, and it's a shame. My honest opinion forvthe Zenitar 16mm ƒ/2.8 fisheye? I was very funny using that, it push me to find new balances and compromises in photography, helps me a lot to understand specs... much more than lens which simply works good even not using proper settings. Because, yes, for a good use you have to set the Zenitar in his real range of work values. If you don't? Well, then, it's just a poor cheap lens which doesn't work good ... as the Helios was times ago. Is all fault of the lens? Mmmmmh mnaaah I don't think so. Personally I miss that in my bag, especially because I like to do panoramic shots using the 15mm focal on full frame... that Zenitar allows you to have the same perspective in a single frame! (ok, distorted, but it's a fisheye indeed!) and is small, easy to carry that everywhere! Are you a photographer of daylight pictures for street photography, funny portraits, landscapes (cityscapes, seascapes, forest scapes or inside of that for a huge perspective from the soil... and so on)... well this is the best lens ever: compact, economic, well builded, works nice. Nightscapes? You must have the astroseeker and all will be fine. In conclusion I left the instagram profiles of Zenit Russia and Zenit Germany so you can have a direct example of other photographers using the Zenitar or others lens! Ciao!

Ergonomics are very good and controls are precise and smooth. The optical scheme is composed by 11 lens subdivided in 7 groups and doesn't support standard filters but got special screwmount filters in the bayonet (indeed mine was included of uv filter). Very happy to have found the depht of field scale printed in the body, with very nice Zenit logo.

Starting by that and continuing the discussion about \\\"worst mode to use one wideangle fisheye lens\\\" now I'll show you how lens react to the sunlight, which type of bokeh you can obtain and how manage the coma aberration. Well let's check the entire test images describing all following the numbers!

BECAUSE OF TOO MUCH ARCHIEVEMENTS ON THE 35AWARDS.COM PARTITIPATIONS IN YEARS, I'VE DECIDE TO LINK YOU MY PROFILE WITH DETAILED INFOS OF 2016/17/18/19.
The Zenitar suffer of comatic aberrations and is a little bit soft at wide aperture, at this point of the test we can say that: result at night is very weird in stars so we must close the ƒ/n aperture of the diaphragm to almost ƒ/4... that's a problem if you don't have the astro-seeker because you can't have the same result about \\\"nightsky\\\" for the same principle of other photos: if you do a short exposure time with the diaphragm too much closed you'll have an underexposured picture.. or a good exposed picture but full of noise (and we want to prevent noise in the pictures, usually...): that's the exposure triangle (you remind that? ...basics...). So... if the only way to prevent the comatic aberrations in our photogram it's: try to do a more long exposure using diaphragms not as much wide as possible but neither so close (and that's why you must PAY attention to my test image details in the chart) now you can start to understand why I told you \\\"astro-seeker needed\\\"!

What we need, for best performances using a single snap file, is a good camera but a good lens too: able to give best sharpness possible in all the frame using the widest ƒ/n aperture possible in that maximum time exposure for a perfect DOT - star possible result. I tell you: most of times that's simply impossible... So the only thing we can do is?.... Buy an astro-seeker. Why? .... let's do a little step back. Let's watch this picture, I'll try to explain you how to \\\"solve\\\" this problem.
