Hello dpreviewers,

the STM focus won't matter, but it's an UWA rather than a fisheye, which means you need the big dome port for it.  Backscatter suggests nothing smaller than a 180.

Also not sure how I feel abut a fixed length WA.   But the price is certainly right, and if you already have a 180-230 dome, you just need to spend the $300 for the lens.  No extension ports or focus nobs or zoom gears needed.
