Description and Reviews

From Brightin Star:

A 132° ultra-wide-angle lens developed for full-frame mirrorless cameras — truly ultra-wide, and not a fisheye. With an almost zero-distortion design, the pictures taken have no exaggerated distortion and the real scenery in front of you is presented. Excellent optical structure, using 16 elements in 11 groups, equipped with two aspherical lenses, 2 ED (low dispersion) lenses and 3 refractive glass elements. With a closest focusing distance of 20cm, this lens has a very strong close-up capability which, combined with a very wide angle of view, enables it to take very unique images. The lens adopts 5 aperture blades, so light will be diffracted to produce 10 pins of asterism when shooting night scenes.

No front filter thread — the raised front element sits inside a fixed all-metal petal hood. A 34mm built-in ND1000 filter (10 stops) is fitted instead, allowing long exposures in bright sun; ND64 and Natural Night filters are sold as bundle options.
