Key Features

8mm Focal Length with Fisheye Effect

• 180° Field of View: The 8mm focal length provides a full 180° angle of view, producing a circular fisheye effect that dramatically distorts the image, creating a unique and immersive perspective.
• Creative Composition: The fisheye effect emphasizes curves and depth, allowing you to experiment with composition and capture scenes in ways that standard lenses cannot.

f/3.5 Maximum Aperture

• Bright Aperture: The f/3.5 maximum aperture allows for effective performance in various lighting conditions. It provides a good balance between depth of field and light gathering, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor shooting.
• Versatile Use: The aperture range from f/3.5 to f/22 gives you flexibility in controlling exposure and depth of field, enabling you to adapt to different shooting scenarios.

High-Quality Optical Construction

• 6 Elements in 5 Groups: The lens is constructed with 6 optical elements in 5 groups, designed to minimize chromatic aberration and distortion while maintaining sharpness and clarity throughout the frame.
• Multilayer Coating: The lens elements are coated with a multilayer anti-reflective coating that reduces flare and ghosting, ensuring higher contrast and color accuracy, especially in bright or backlit conditions.

Manual Focus Control

• Precision Focusing: The lens features a smooth manual focus ring, allowing for precise control over focus, which is essential when working with ultra-wide angles. This manual focus system encourages careful composition and thoughtful photography.
• Close Focusing Distance: The lens offers a minimum focusing distance of 30cm, enabling you to get up close to your subject while still capturing a wide view, adding more drama and interest to your shots.
