AstrHori 10mm f/8 II 10mm
Featuring a 10mm f/8 fixed aperture and three extra-low dispersion elements, this 130g APS-C fisheye delivers a 180° field of view in a compact all-metal build. An included UV filter protects the 55mm front element while enhancing clarity, and the 300mm minimum focus distance enables dramatic close-up perspectives. Best for Fujifilm X-mount macro and street photographers who want a lightweight, manual lens to capture expansive, distorted scenes on a budget.
