Hong Kong-based lens manufacturer, Brightin Star, has just launched an extremely cheap, APS-C fisheye prime for nearly all major mounts. I say fisheye, but calculate the crop factor and the 15mm focal length (give or take) could also be regarded as ultra-wide, depending on who you ask. Still, that super-wide 175-degree field of view should prove ideal for landscapes, architecture, and a super-wide range (no pun intended) of creative applications.
Imagery on the Brightin Star website shows plenty of night shots, but with a maximum aperture of f/5.6, you’ll probably need a tripod when shooting in low light. On the subject of aperture, the lens has a vintage-style clicked aperture ring (f/5.6 to f/22), which will please owners of retro APS-C cameras such as the Fujifilm X-T5 and Nikon Z fc.
