Ultra-wide lenses tend to require big and bulky optics, but Brightin Star’s refreshed 10mm lens fits in a pocket. The Brightin Star 10mm f/5.6 II Fisheye builds on a popular budget fisheye for APS-C bodies in multiple mounts with sharper images, closer focusing, and a refreshed design. And at $75 / £56, I’m highly tempted to buy one myself.
Brighton Star says the old 10mm lens received “tens of thousands” of reviews every year, but that fans of the lens have long been asking for improved sharpness along with closer focusing. The third-party lens brand has put those requests into a refresh of the lens.
