FCP-1: A Fisheye Zoom for Full-Frame Cameras
Fisheye lenses have long been favored by underwater photographers. Unfortunately, there are no native fisheye zoom lenses available for full-frame mirrorless cameras. While Canon’s 7-14mm and EF 8-15mm, and Nikon’s F mount 8-15mm lenses are technically fisheye zooms, on full frame cameras they are designed to capture images at 15mm for a rectangular image or 8mm / 7mm for a circular effect. The FCP-1 addresses this limitation by enabling compatible lenses, such as Sony’s 28-60mm or the Nikon Z 24-50mm or Canon RF 24-50mm, to most or all of the zoom range. The FCP-1 converts the 28-60mm image to a 170° to 74° field of view.
The FCP-1 also simplifies lighting and presents greater creative lighting opportunities. Like other Water Contact Optics, the FCP-1 allows for in-water focus from its front element to infinity, enabling extremely close-focus fisheye shooting. A built-in buoyancy collar and a user- interchangeable port mount from N120 to N100 are included. The port shade is removable for extreme close-focus lighting, and a 14mm lens can be utilized to achieve a circular fisheye effect.
