Manufacturer description

Amazing 180° wide angle view expands your creativity and captures incredible scenes, opening a new horizon for your APS-C sensor. Can catch everything you can see in your lens, 180° angle of view can bring you a strong visual impact.

Aperture range of F3-F22, 9 groups 11 elements with multi-coated tech reduce flares and ghosting while providing optimal color balance. 12 inches / 0.3 meters minimum focusing distance is ideal for close-up shots.

Typical characteristics of fisheye lenses

• Extreme angle of view (at least 180° diagonally);
• Circular types (the image circle of the lens is inscribed in the image frame) or diagonal types (cover the entire image frame);
• Usually of equidistant projection type, with the distance from the picture center to any given point always proportional to the angle from the optical axis to that point;
• Huge barrel distortion;
• Short closest focusing distance (0.20 - 0.30m with 35mm full-frame prime lenses);
• Very large depth of field, eliminating the need for autofocus or precise manual focusing;
• Due to the extreme angle of view and convex front element, front filters cannot be used;
• Often equipped with a filter turret with swivel-mounted filters;
• Often come with a small, built-in petal-shaped lens hood (*).

(*) Some APS-C models have a detachable lens hood, which allows such lenses to be used on 35mm full-frame cameras as circular fisheyes.
