TTArtisan APS-C 7.5mm f/2 Fisheye 8mm
Shooting at 7.5mm f/2, this manual-focus lens produces a full-frame circular fisheye or a complete APS-C fisheye, backed by 2 LD and 3 high-index elements for contrast. A 4.9-inch minimum focus distance and an included front cap that crops vignetting into a clean circle add further creative flexibility. It best serves budget-conscious photographers needing dramatic perspective distortion for architecture, interior, and macro work, where it scores 63.1.
