Brightin Star Fit for Nikon Z Mount
Its 11mm focal length and f/2.8 aperture deliver a full-frame 180-degree field of view, and the 8-blade diaphragm creates pronounced eight-point sunstars during night shooting. The 0.17m minimum focus distance enables extreme close-up shots with exaggerated perspective, supported by an optical design of 8 elements in 11 groups with one ED lens for edge-to-edge sharpness. This lens suits astrophotographers and architectural photographers who need a manual-focus, ultra-wide fisheye for dramatic low-light compositions.
