AstrHori 6.5mm f/2 Fisheye 7mm
A 192° circular field of view and f/2.0 aperture define this lens, enabling a full spherical projection and strong low-light performance for exaggerated barrel distortion effects. Its 0.2m minimum focus distance creates a distinct crystal ball perspective, while the 268g full-metal body with a de-clicked 9-blade aperture offers durable, precise manual control. This lens is best for Fujifilm X-mount shooters wanting to craft surreal, sci-fi portraits or unique astrophotography with a circular fisheye look.
