fish eye lense to fit pentax mz 60 camera?
is there such thing as a fisheye lense that would be compatible with my pentax mz 60 slr?
Hi M.J.,
You can use any lens ever made for a 35mm Pentax, including every fisheye, on your MZ-60. However, some will be easier to use on your MZ-60 than others.
The easiest ones to use on the MZ-60 are autofocus lenses:
Pentax F 17-28mm f/3.5-4.5 zoom
Sigma 8mm f/3.5
Sigma 15mm f/2.8
(There were probably others, too.)
The Sigma 8/3.5 is a “circular” fisheye, meaning it projects a round image with 180 degree view all round, leaving the rest of the film frame dark.
The Pentax zoom and the Sigma 15/2.8 are “rectilinear” fisheyes, meaning it fills the film frame, but it’s only 180 degrees from corner to corner. The zoom is 180 degrees corner to corner at its widest.
If you don’t mind focusing manually, Pentax made the “Pentax A 16mm f/2.8″. You can also use any other brand of manual focus fisheye made to fit Pentax, if the lens has an “A” or “AE” on the aperture ring.
For older manual-focus lenses that don’t have the A or AE on the aperture ring, such as the Pentax 17mm f/4.0 fisheye, you can still use them, but to use them at any aperture other than wide open you will have to partially dismount them to disengage the aperture actuator, and then use them in stop-down mode. To make sure you dismount it far enough, set the aperture ring on the smallest aperture (largest number, such as 22), and dismount the lens until the aperture opening becomes smallest. That effectively puts you in stop-down mode. There should still be enough friction to keep the lens on, but of course you’ll want to use caution.
If you find an M42 Universal screw-mount (also known as Pentax screw-mount) fisheye, you can use that too, but you’ll need to find an adapter.
You can also mount and shoot with fisheyes made for Pentax Digital SLRs. But those lenses are made to project a smaller image, so much of the film frame will be wasted.
My suggestion — the Sigmas I mentioned are not hard to find, not very expensive, and decent quality.
Good luck and have fun!
Greg
