AstrHori 6.5mm F2.0 6mm
The 192° circular diagonal field of view and f/2.0 aperture on this manual-focus 6.5mm fisheye deliver extreme, full-frame distortion for APS-C Sony E and Fuji X cameras. Its 268g full-metal body and 0.2m minimum focus distance enable a crystal-ball effect, while the de-clicked 9-blade aperture ensures seamless exposure transitions. This lens is for experimental photographers crafting surreal, bubble-like cityscapes or vortex-style astrophotography.
