Freshly announced: 7artisans 6mm f/2.0 APS-C Fisheye

Share

 

One more new lens from 7artisans: They als introduced a new fully manual 6mm f/2.0 APS-C fisheye, available now for $199 on Amazon (Click here).

About this item

  • 【220° Ultra-Wide Fisheye View · Pushes Past Convention】With a massive 220° angle of view—wider than most fisheyes—the 7artisans 6mm F2.0 delivers immersive scale and bold perspective warp. Ideal for astrophotography, sweeping landscapes, street shooting, action sports, and punchy creative video.
  • 【F2 Bright Aperture · Confident in Low Light】The fast F2.0 aperture keeps exposures bright in dim conditions—think night scenes, astro, and interiors. The combination of ultra‑wide coverage and a large aperture helps produce crisp results and rich atmosphere for after‑dark work.
  • 【0.1m Close Focus · Dramatic, Exaggerated Perspective】A 0.1m minimum focus distance unlocks high‑impact close‑ups with classic fisheye distortion. Great for pets, expressive portraits, and stylized still life, adding creative punch to your compositions.
  • 【Go Wide in Tight Spaces】That 220° field lets you capture full scenes in cramped spots—interiors, cars, corridors, or narrow streets—stretching lines and amplifying depth. Perfect for vlogging, travel content, architecture, interiors, and experimental video when you want a “big space” feel.
  • 【All‑Metal Build · Premium Look & Smooth Control】A full‑metal barrel with a silver accent ring delivers durability and a refined aesthetic. The matte finish improves grip, while the smooth manual‑focus action provides stable, precise control—ideal for creators seeking a distinctive, high‑quality fisheye.
