AstrHori 9mm F2.8 APS-C Ultra Wide Angle 9mm
The 9mm focal length with a 111.4° angle of view captures vast scenes, while the f/2.8 aperture aids low-light star photography and the 7-blade diaphragm creates 14-point starbursts. Its 200mm minimum focus distance enables creative close-up portraits, and the 306g retro body is easy to carry. Best for landscape and astrophotography enthusiasts using Canon RF APS-C cameras who value manual control and compact design.
