By Louis Ferreira | Published: July 17, 2021

This lens first showed up at B&H Photo the other day, but with no details. Now that it is listed on Amazon we have some more details and photos to share.

  • Optical Design: Its optical system consists of 11 elements in 8 groups. A 7-blade diaphragm contributes to a smooth and pleasing bokeh quality.
  • Ideal Aperture: Bright f/2.0 maximum aperture suits working in a variety of lighting conditions and also contributes to the sleek form factor.
  • Wide-angle of View: Improve contrast and color rendering in a variety of lighting conditions. Fisheye’s design renders a 180° angle of view(150° on M4/3 Mount) to produce a distinct visual appeal characterized by dramatic distortion and a creative depiction of space.

Save 40% on Skylum AI and Free Tutorials

By Louis Ferreira | Published: July 15, 2021


I really like Skylum for finishing my photos, but I am still stuck in Lightroom for a variety of reasons. That being said Luminar AI is pretty great in my experience and I am often surprised by the ways it can improve my photos. The layout can be a little confusing if you want to take a deep dive, but quick automated edits are very easy to achieve.

If you want to get the most out of Luminar AI I highly recommend you watch all of Skylum’s original Deep Dive playlist on youtube

Followed by Skylum’s follow up Deep Dive 2 playlist on youtube

https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLQlozenYb0jBNFxHS-cArdqq00TOwBl2Q

For a while, I was test driving a lot of applications looking for a complete Lightroom replacement, but as of recently, I have mainly been using on Skylum and Capture One’s products with Skylum taking a slight lead because I like how easy it is to get great results from all of their current applications. Luminar AI, Luminar 4, and Aurora HDR are all great products and you can save on them by using FUJIADDICT at checkout, but I do not believe it works for the deal above so only Luminar 4, and Aurora HDR during the current promotion.
