Got this for my sigma FP L and is a perfect match! Lens is sharp enough, super lightweight and super wide! This is a APS-C lens but a cool little feature with the FP-L you can do a image zoom crop (zero digital enhancement, image quality does not suffer) and you can go to about to a 1.17x crop and you get rid of any dark edges. So this makes it a 12mm lens with that 1.17x crop with 26 megapixels (on FP-L). Lens is all metal and the focus ring has the perfect amount of resistance (love using this manual focus ring). If you’re a FP-L user and want a wide angel (fish eye) that is super light . Just buy it!

Nice pancake lens for the price if you need to move from shot to shot quickly. Packaged nicely and its a heavy lens, so it seems to be made pretty solid and durable. Liked that it came with a UV filter. Image quality was just Ok as you would expect by the price. It just wasn't for me, didn't like the fisheye look as much as I thought I would.

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 image quality, very functional and fun to use

If you want a disposable camera feel throw this bad boy on your camera and shoot away I keep this on my camera more than my more expensive lenses.

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.

Overall, this 10mm is a great value. It doesn't take a lot of skill to appreciate either since (with the small aperture and wide angle) your photos will almost always be in focus no matter what you do... just make sure you have a lot of light. If you do have more skill you can push it even further with long exposures and lower ISO settings. It's also a rectangular and not a circular fisheye, so the fish effect can be managed in post production with distortion and vignette fixes (see first outside photos). Overall, this isn't a professional lens, but it is a tiny, take everywhere sorta lens that help you push your creativity and barely put a dent in your pocketbook.PROS:+ Adds a fun new perspective to your photography+ Allows for sweeping panoramas, large group shots, 3 walls of a room (much wider than even the 18mm kit)+ Fisheye distortion is manageable in post production (see first 2 outside photos one with and one without distortion correction)+ Wide angle is almost all in focus at f8 from 1 foot to infinity without needing to focus much.+ Wide angle is more forgiving in camera shake than telephoto.+ Good optical performance with little to no light flare.+ Sony cameras offer focus peaking so you can easily optimize focus manually if you'd like+ Tiny body cap size makes it easy to keep a functional lens on the camera at all times without taking up any significant space.CONS:- Stuck at f8 means you need a lot of light, long exposures or very grainy ISOs.- Focus ring doesn't have detailed markings, so you're sorta just guessing until you hit the hard stops on either end.- You will need to go into your camera settings before you use it to allow the camera to fire without a lens (since this has no electronic communication with the camera)- Vignetting is fairly strong.- Can't close/macro focus, limited to about a foot on the close end.

You got to make it work, it wont work for you. Pretty cool lens, great price.
