AstrHori 6mm F2.8 220° Ultra Wide Circular Fisheye 6mm
The 220° ultra-wide circular fisheye perspective and bright f/2.8 aperture on a full-frame sensor produce dramatic barrel distortion and strong low-light performance for surreal imagery. Its 0.08m minimum focus distance enables a striking crystal-ball macro effect, while the 330g all-metal body and smooth de-clicked aperture ring make it well-suited for video work. This manual lens is best for concert and astrophotography creators seeking exaggerated perspectives that warp city streets into bubbles and the Milky Way into a vortex.
