If I mount extension tube (12mm+) to this lens, will I be able to keep the focusing range outside the lens?

[Lilkiwiguy87]

The 16mm has a magnification ratio of 1:10 and minimum focus distance of under 11 inches. Adding a extension tube will allow you photograph at such close distances. 12mm is close enough.

i've heard about fisheye "add-ons", does nikon produce them, or would I have to go to another brand for one?

[Lilkiwiguy87]

Sorry, no, Nikon and any other camera manufacturers do not make "add-on" fisheye lens attachments for SLR camera lenses. Those fisheye add-ons are for video camcorders that accept filters only.

is it okay if i was shooting video with this lens ( or any lens that have an aperture ring ) to change the aperture while recording ?

[Lilkiwiguy87]

According to manuals of digital SLR's that could do videos: "In Tripod Mode, movies may be over- or under-exposed at some aperture settings. Before shooting, check the brightness of the scene in the monitor; if the picture is too bright or too dark, end LiveView and adjust aperture as necessary."

If you attempt to change the aperture while filming, you could break the camera's aperture lever. Make changes to the lens' aperture before and after filming, only. Any lenses will do just fine.

How much is this lens?and will it still have a good effect on a lower end camera like the d40??

[Lilkiwiguy87]

Yeah, so? The image quality from this lens is that bad.
