Nikon's fisheye lens was released back in 2003. That is why its design does not have a classic autofocus drive, and with the younger D3XXX and D5XXX series DSLRs, you will have to focus manually.

autofocus

Paired with an advanced line of cropped DSLRs (for example, Nikon D7200), autofocus will work, because. these cameras are equipped with a special "screwdriver" drive. By the way, the Nikon AF DX Fisheye Nikkor 10.5mm f/2.8G ED is the only DX format lens without a built-in focus drive. But this did not stop him from getting a gold ring on the case, which indicates that the lens belongs to the class of professional optics with improved characteristics and excellent build quality.

bokeh

The lens is designed exclusively for APS-C format cameras and in conjunction with them provides a diagonal viewing angle of 180 °. When focus on a close subject at the maximum aperture (f / 2.8), the fisheye blurs the background beautifully. However at high-contrast transitions in the blur zone, unwanted purple hues (chromatic aberrations) may appear.

sharp picture

The f/2.8 aperture lets you shoot handheld in low-light conditions without bumping up your ISO. Even at the most open hole, it is possible to get sharp and detailed pictures. This is confirmed both by the owners of the lens and during synthetic tests: according to photozone.de, sharpness in the centre of the frame at all apertures is rated "Excellent", and at the edges — "Very good".

Full frame analogue

The closest analogue lens among full-frame representatives is the Nikon AF Fisheye Nikkor 16mm f / 2.8D. It will also help you look at the world with wide eyes, but in conjunction with full frames.

Reference. The autofocus screwdriver drive implies that only the mechanical part of the autofocus system is on board the lens. The motor itself is placed directly in the camera and docked with the lens through a special socket. The younger series of Nikon DSLRs is devoid of a motor in its design, which is why all lenses with a screwdriver drive can be paired with them exclusively with the help of hands.

Short description:

The world's first fisheye lens designed specifically for Nikon D1X, D2H, D1H, D1, D100, D70 digital SLR cameras. Provides a unique 180-degree angle of view, a 14cm minimum focus distance, and a very large depth of field (DOF) characteristic of all fisheye lenses.
