TTArtisan APS-C A31B-FX 8mm
Its 7.5mm f/2 design delivers a 180° fisheye view filling an APS-C frame or rendering a circular image on full frame, with 2 LD and 3 high-index elements reducing aberrations. Fully manual focus and aperture rings provide tactile precision, complemented by a 4.9-inch close-focus distance and integrated lens hood for creative close-ups. This lens fits Fujifilm X-mount shooters seeking a straightforward manual fisheye for distorted landscapes, interiors, and exaggerated close-up photography.
