Disappointed. I read the product description and saw the sample photos. I saw the fisheye images, the fisheye title, and figured my shots would be fisheye. But that's only for full frame cameras. It's just wide angle and crops the fisheye fish bowl edges off. I wish it was more clear in the listing.

Great little practice fish eye lens for my Sony a6400. I’m new to photography so I didn’t want to buy a really expensive lens before practicing a bit or making a larger investment. This lens still feels like it’s quality and I don’t know if a more expensive lens would make my pictures look better but I’m liking the artsy effects I can create with this relatively inexpensive lens.

Definitely a cheap lense. Decent quality for the price but almost more of a toy than a lens for real usefulness.

Item: AstrHori 10mm F8 II Ultra Wide Angle FisheyePrice: $ 79.00 at time of review on 02 12 23I was pleasantly surprised, given what I felt were reasonable expectations, when I received the AstrHori ultra-wide lens. I say that because this lens, while not equipped with the high quality optics I have in my studio lens inventory, is most certainly very usable and with a very attractive price point. I was able to easily ‘line up the dots’ and mount the lens on my A6400, which is my prime video-recording camera in my studio area. The close-focus distance is (0.3-meters), about (11.8-inches). I tested the lens on my camera and recorded a test segment. The 150-degree view contrasted quite noticeably with my 18-mm to 135-mm Sony lens, which is usually set at 35-mm for a somewhat ‘flat-field’ recording.If I were to describe the sharpness and clarity of the lens, based on the results from my studio test video, I’d say it was ‘adequate’ but far from a quality lens. I’m definitely going to use the lens. But it will probably be for ‘short video segments’ and if for still work, in a very bright and well illuminated setup. This f8 lens definitely benefits from ‘competent lighting.’ I noticed that in my studio video test, I was well illuminated with two panel lights and my image was decent. But as the lights dropped off on each side, the image quality suffered.The AstrHori lens, in my opinion, is an excellent value. While not a high-end prosumer lens, it will allow you to create still or video imaging with that ‘intentional distortion’ that only a fisheye can provide. And it provides that at an extremely reasonable price. The downside to a lens like this is most certainly its f8 fixed aperture. If I were recording outdoor segments, I wouldn’t expect great results with marginal light levels. However, when I saw the results from mounting this lens on my A6400, I could see a future of creating video segments and still shots that could certainly augment my projects. Again, proper lighting can help make up for the f8 lens, and augment and improve the results.Overall, I was impressed and satisfied with the AstrHori’s performance. The utility of the lens certainly meets and exceeds my expectations for what I would call a typical budget fisheye.

I wanted to love this. When my boyfriend passed away, I was left with his Sony camera and two lenses-neither of which are practical for everyday photos-so when I saw this, I jumped on it. It fits onto the camera, but to say it is compatible is a stretch. I say this because, yes, you can take pictures with it, but there is a ring around the edges of the photos taken with this. And by ring, I mean the edges are gray-black. In the corners and along the sides. This leaves you with only 2/3-3/4 of actual photo using this lens, and you'd have to crop the photos to account for this. What you do get of the photo seems to be nice, but it's not a lens I am going to use much due to this ring of grayness.
