Samsung Announces 10mm F3.5 Fisheye for NX

Samsung has just announced the latest addition to their line of NX lenses: A 10mm f/3.5 fisheye. Having a 180° angle of view can definitely open a whole new world of fun for those tired of straight angles and correct perspective. Not only is this guy really wide, it's extremely tiny at only 26mm thick. There's even a small manual focus ring and function button to control aperture, ISO and other exposure settings. Thankfully the vantage of a fish doesn't come standard with the smell. Hyuk.
