The 7Artisans 10mm f/2.8 Fisheye lens is a unique offering that covers a full frame, providing a wide angle of almost 180 degrees. The lack of autofocus is hardly a big issue for a fisheye lens, and it is compatible with various camera models. The build quality is solid, but the lens is a bit heavy at 570 grams. The lens construction is mainly metal, and the focus ring and aperture ring turn smoothly but heavily. Although the lens lacks image stabilization and any electronic communication with the camera, it feels durable and tough. However, the image quality is a bit rough, especially at the widest aperture. Landscape photographers may need to stop down to f/11 for better depth of field. The close-up image quality remains sharp from f/2.8, and shooting at night may require sacrificing corner sharpness. Despite some flaws, the 7Artisans 10mm f/2.8 Fisheye lens offers a unique and fun way to capture wide-angle images, making it worth considering for creative photographers.
