Description and Reviews
From Brightin Star:
Wide-angle revolution, new chapter of vision — 105.3° ultra-wide viewing angle coverage for galaxy, architecture and indoor scenes. A space sculptor with nearly zero distortion, and a great tool for photographing buildings, city scenery, starry sky and night scenes. The f/2.8 large aperture captures the stars, putting the Milky Way within reach, while an 8-pin starburst makes every beam of light a work of art.
Optics are 12 elements in 11 groups, with 2 low-dispersion and 3 high-refraction elements. This is the upgraded version with a removable lens hood and a de-clicked aperture ring, so the 67mm front thread stays usable for filters.
