What Buyers Say
TTArtisan APS-C 7.5mm f/2 Fisheye 8mm
The TTArtisan 7.5mm f/2 Fisheye Lens for Nikon Z mount receives mixed feedback. Users praise its sharpness, solid build quality, and fun fisheye effect, especially for creative photography like 360 virtual tours and skate shots. However, significant issues include a poorly designed lens cap that falls off easily, focus scale inaccuracies on some units, and the discontinued ND filter accessory. The lens is best suited for APS-C cameras, as full-frame users will experience vignetting.

- Fun fisheye effect
- Good value for price
- Easy manual focus
Cons
- Poor lens cap design falls off
- Focus scale inaccuracies on some units
- No ND filter included anymore
