7Artisans 122.8ZBII 12mm
73 out of 100 high confidence 12 reviews
This manual 12mm f/2.8 lens receives mostly positive reviews for its solid metal build and good image quality at a low price point. While many users love it for product videos and astrophotography, some report sharpness issues, severe flare when pointed near light sources, and the lack of camera recognition on certain bodies. It's best considered a budget specialty lens rather than an everyday general-purpose optic.

- Great value for money

Cons
