A Look At The Meike 6-11mm Fisheye Zoom Lens

Late last year, Meike introduced a 6-11mm f/3.5 fisheye zoom lens which, as David Thorpe says, is far from conventional but never-the-less, David thought he'd put it to the test to find out how useful the lens really is. 

"It's a specialised lens, as are all extreme focal length Micro Four Thirds lenses, whether 6mm or 300mm but could you find a use for it?" Asks David.
