Ultra-wide-angle lens for Sony, Fujifilm and others launches for $66
Brightin Star is revamping one of its most affordable ultra-wide-angle lenses on the market. The Brightin Star 10 mm f/5.6 II is primarily intended to achieve better image quality than its predecessor. With seven lenses in five groups, the lens is said to provide sharp images across the entire field of view even at open aperture, although the lens is not particularly fast with a maximum aperture of f/5.6.
The lens has a field of view of 173 degrees and is marketed as a fisheye lens due to the clearly visible distortion. If necessary, images can be corrected in Photoshop, for example, although this has a negative effect on image quality and reduces the field of view somewhat. With a length of 3.2 centimetres, a diameter of 5.7 centimetres and a weight of 132 grams, the Brightin Star 10 mm f/5.6 II is extremely compact and should therefore also be a good match for small cameras such as the Sony A6700 ($1,498 on Amazon).
The lens does not support autofocus. However, the focus ring has a mark that ensures everything from a distance of one meter is in focus, so manual focusing is only necessary when photographing objects at shorter distances from 0.12 meters. The ultra-wide-angle lens does not support filters and does not have an aperture ring or aperture blades, so the lens cannot be stopped down.
Pricing and availability
The Brightin Star 10 mm f/5.6 II fisheye lens is now available at the manufacturer's online store. The lens costs $65.99. Shipping to most regions is free, but the price does not include import sales tax and customs duty. The lens is available for Sony E, Canon RF, Canon EOS M, Nikon Z, Fujifilm X or micro-FourThirds, but the image circle only covers sensors in APS-C format.
