An ultrawide fisheye with an included ND filter for mirrorless APS-C cameras, the Brightin Star 7.5mm f/2.8 Fisheye Lens is ideal for landscapes, astrophotography, and experimental portrait photographers. A built-in rear filter thread for the included ND filter allows you to turn standard scenes into stunning long exposures by smoothing water, blurring crowds, and more. The 190° field of view and bright f/2.8 maximum aperture allow you to capture exaggerated wide scenes and interesting close-ups in a wide range of lighting conditions. Thanks to the five-blade iris, light sources can create 10-point starbursts, adding additional character to your images.

Due to the manual design of this lens, ensure you have enabled “release without lens” in your camera’s settings.

Optical Performance

• Ultra-wide fisheye lens provides an 11.3mm full-frame equivalent focal length to APS-C mirrorless cameras.
• Fisheye design renders a 190° angle of view to produce a distinct visual appeal characterized by dramatic distortion and a creative depiction of space.
• Bright f/2.8 maximum aperture suits working in a variety of lighting conditions and contributes to the sleek form factor.
• 5-blade diaphragm contributes to a smooth and pleasing bokeh quality.

Design

• Built-in rear filter thread for included ND filter allows long exposures.
• Manual focus design permits working with subjects as close as 5.9″ away.
