Key Features of the 7Artisans Fisheye 10mm F2.8 II
The Fisheye 10mm F2.8 II lens caters to photographers seeking wide angle shots with distinct fisheye effects. Notable features include:
- 10-Blade Aperture: The 10-blade aperture creates starburst effects around light sources, adding a unique touch to wide lens shots.
- Enhanced Optics: This version includes an additional ED (low-dispersion) element and a new aspherical element, improving clarity and reducing distortion.
- Reduced Minimum Focusing Distance: With a minimum focusing distance of 0.15 meters, the lens captures closer, more detailed wide angle shots.
- Manual Focus and Depth-of-Field Markings: The fully manual lens provides control over focus and aperture, with depth-of-field markings for precise focus, ideal for wide lens photography.
Updated Design for Wide Angle Photography
The Fisheye 10mm F2.8 II features a refreshed exterior design with glow-in-the-dark markings for ease of use in low-light settings. Maintaining 11 elements in 8 groups, the lens incorporates two ED elements and an aspherical lens for sharper wide angle shots. Weighing 602 grams, it’s slightly heavier than the original model but offers improved image quality.
7Artisans has developed a profile for Adobe Camera Raw in Photoshop and Lightroom. This feature allows photographers to reduce fisheye effects while preserving the wide field of view, enhancing impactful wide-angle shots.
