Pergear 10mm f/8 Pancake Fisheye Lens Prototype Review – By Iurii Zvonar
The Pergear 10mm f/8 pancake fisheye lens sample reviewed in this article is one of the early prototypes. I received this lens for testing purpose directly from Pergear.

I acquired the Lomography Fisheye 2 a coupe of years ago when a colleague came to my cubicle (unfortunately, in real life I am a cubicle-dwelling software developer) and said “Aren’t you the camera guy?”, I said, “maybe”, and she gave me the camera and a bag of expired lomography 400 colour film, and walked away. The bright pink casing isn’t my style, but the price was right.
Now I must admit, I’m not particularly into fisheye photography. Nor is a fisheye lens the first type of lens that I think of as being particularly compatible with Leica rangefinder cameras – especially if said fisheye doesn’t come with a viewfinder. In fact, to a degree, I do (or at least did) slightly question the sense of making a fisheye lens for m-mount cameras at all.
