PRESS RELEASE
SUNEX LAUCHES FIRST CIRCULAR FISHEYE LENS FOR 1.6x CROP DSLRs WITH 185 DEGRES FIELD OF VIEW
LAS VAGAS, January 31, 2008 – Sunex, Inc. a leading manufacturer of high quality digital imaging lenses announces today the introduction of the first circular fisheye lens for Canon APS-C and Nikon DX format DSLR Cameras with 185° field of view.
The new Sunex SuperFisheyeTM is designed to produce a complete circular image within the camera CMOS/CCD imager giving a true complete 185° field of view. The 185° FOV provides enough overlap and allows stitching software to realize a 360° immersive image with only two shots! Newly available high index glasses are used to achieve sharp images from center to edge while BBAR coatings are applied to all air-glass interfaces to keep overall flare/ghosting at a minimum. Easy to use, the SuperFisheye lens uses optimized fixed aperture and focus to achieve best image quality for panoramic and immersive photography.
Lens Specifications:
- Focal length 5.6mm
- Aperture F/5.6 (fixed)
- 185° field of view
- Image circle: ~14.5mm (optimized for 1.6x crop sensor)
- Depth of field: ~0.5m to infinity
- Size: ~70mmx90mm (dia x length)
- Weight: ~470g
- Mount: Canon and Nikon
In addition, the lens comes with the new Sunex Dewarper DSLR Photoshop compatible plug-in filter for correcting or optimizing distortion. The result is true panoramic picture where the level of distortion can be adjusted to accomplish spectacular creative effects.
“180° panoramic and 360° immersion pictures are more commonly used for art photography; however we believe it will become a powerful promotion tool for the real estate and travel industries by providing enhanced virtual tour experiences. The Sunex SuperfisheyeTM lens is a major step forward in making fisheye technology more accessible to both professional and amateur photographers” said Francois Pelletier, director of Sales and Marketing at Sunex.
Sunex SuperFisheyeTM lens including Dewarper DSLRTM software is available at a suggested retail price of $799. Sunex SuperfisheyeTM products can be ordered online at www.superfisheye.com
