Can this camera be used with a 2.8MM lens? If so, would there be spherical aberration or other issues with the image?

Everything is sealed and doesn't appear to be end-user modifiable from what I see.

This is a question that should be answered by the manufacturer, unfortunately, they are hard to find. I have known several people to try other lens. Most tell me that it was not worth the try. One even damaged the main board in the effort. All said that there were some aberrations.

not a problem, given the small (7.4mm at the wide end) focal length. even at tele, it's only 44mm! in fact, it can be difficult to get shallower DOF when you need it without zooming all the way out and shooting from half a block away.

it depends on the design of the lens. It won't affect the image quality though.

it's not the perfect lense for portrait and he has no zoom, but it's quite wide and at 2.8 it's not bad in low light you just have to balance your lighting!

Look at the price. Seriously these kinds of questions hardly apply. Theres a spherical focusing plane so not everything in the frame can even be in focus. If you want to have fun with a really cheap lens get it. If you want to nitpick don't bother with this.

Yes its ideal for landscapes because of its wide angle and moderate distortion the f/ 2.8 aperture is good for low light but if you want everything in the foreground and background sharp you'll want to stop it down. If thats the case youll need a tripod so you can shoot at a low ISO and keep ur noise minimal. Also cheaper lenses can do this, you are mostly paying for the 2.8 aperture with this lens. Also if you want to shoot the moon you might wana zoom in so there are other good options.

I haven't owned this lens for very long but I've had very good results with it so far. I mainly shoot with automatic settings and the camera adjusts the aperture for each picture of course. It is not always on f/2.8. It varies, depending on the light conditions, etc. if you shoot manually you can keep it on f/2.8 if you want. That is simply the largest aperture setting you can use on this lens. You CAN change it to a smaller aperture if you want.

It's the only lens I use for my 800. With occasional hiccups trying to focus through car window glass. It's sharp enough for my varied uses. I was sold on the lens by tests performed and published on the blog Photography Life and you'll also find info on the 24-70, but the 2.8 will give you a softer background.

It can be used with 35mm f1.8 as long as it is stepped down to greater than f4.0. The image quality is not as sharp as without the adaptor but it is totally usable.

IS helps more with motion blur from the lens moving rather than motion blur from the subject moving. So even if you can get away with a slower shutter speed, if you can't get a fast enough shutter speed at f 2.8 IS won't be a cure all.

Not as good as f2.8 obviously but fisheyes, stabilization and slow enough shutter will do fine if not trying to capture a fast mo ing subject.

I use this camera as a 2nd with a 70-200mm lens. Is it the best option out there, obviously no. However, clients will certainly not be able to tell the difference between that and your primary camera as long as you are using good lenses. Another photographer certainly may be able to tell the difference, but they are not who the photos are for. If you can't afford a better 2nd camera, this one is certainly workable.

It is not a "fixed" F/2.8. It is a "constant" F/2.8 which does not change when zoom from 24 to 70. It still has the smallest aperture of F/22 that you can use to gain all the DOF you want.

Yes you can take 2meg pictures. The quality is o.k. I wouldn't use it for photography though. I don't like the quality of the pictures.

Yes, but you will have to zoom at 15mm or 16mm, Why not take the full frame version, 16-28

Hi, Yes that should work. What you will loose is the f stop, please see that you should have a f stop of 2.8 or higher. With my 2.8 f stop lens it goes to f 5.6.

You might have a lemon. I have the 520 and has no problem with it. Images are sharp and good. I don't have a 200mm+ lens so I haven't tried that. I have tried up to 150mm without any problem.
