AstrHori 6.5mm F2.0 APS-C 192° Ultra Wide Circular Fisheye
The 192° circular diagonal viewing angle and bright f/2.0 aperture in a 268g all-metal body define this manual-focus lens for extreme, distorted perspectives. Its 0.2m minimum focus combines with the circular frame to create a crystal-ball effect, while the de-clicked aperture ring enables silent, smooth light control for video. This lens suits APS-C Nikon Z shooters crafting surreal portraits, macro-style close-ups, and night-sky images with exaggerated barrel distortion.
