Fisheye that actually autofocuses

The 7Artisans 10mm f/2.5 Fisheye is the only autofocus fisheye for Nikon Z and costs just $449, less than a quarter of the Sigma alternative.

185 degree ultra-wide view

This diagonal fisheye captures a reality-warping 185 degree angle of view that fills the entire frame corner to corner.

Fast f/2.5 aperture

The f/2.5 maximum aperture is far more useful for low light shooting than background blur at this extreme focal length.

Close focus and weather sealed

It focuses as close as 0.15 meters and features full weather sealing with a gasket-sealed metal mount, plus a USB-C port for firmware updates.

Premium build, light weight

All-metal construction with satin finish feels expensive, yet it weighs just 504 grams and measures 94mm long, ideal for compact full-frame bodies.

Fixed hood protects bulbous element

The integrated hood shields the bulbous front element from light and impact, but the glass remains vulnerable so always use the felt-lined lens cap.

No traditional filters possible

The fixed hood means you cannot attach traditional screw-on filters, so you must use sensor-mounted options like ND filters instead.

Manual focus override available

A fly-by-wire manual focus ring lets you override autofocus, plus an AF/MF switch and two custom function buttons for mapped controls.

Compatibility varies by brand

All current Nikon and Panasonic cameras work fine, but some Sony and Sigma bodies show limited compatibility, so check the manufacturer's chart.

Autofocus keeps up with action

The lens tracked fast-moving skateboarders reliably and never dropped focus once acquired, even during 30 frames per second bursts.

Exceptional flare control

Even when shooting directly into the sun or with backlighting, the lens produced almost no flare across 30 frames per second bursts.

“Glare and flare is incredibly well controlled on the 7Artisans 10mm f/2.5 Fisheye, even when you really antagonize it with backlighting”

Sharp center, soft edges

Center sharpness is pin-sharp and edges remain crisp, but field curvature causes sharpness to drop toward the frame corners.

Bokeh is busy and soft

Background blur is not a strength due to field curvature, descending into smear rather than creamy bokeh, but few buy fisheyes for backgrounds.

Resolves 60 megapixels

The lens can resolve 60 megapixels, making it suitable for high-resolution sensors like the Sony A7R VI.

Defishing profile available

7Artisans provides a calibration profile to convert fisheye images to a rectilinear look, though native rectilinear lenses offer better optical performance.

Firmware updates already rolling

The lens received a stabilization improvement update since launch, showing 7Artisans' commitment to ongoing support via USB-C updates.

Unbeatable value proposition

At $449, it undercuts the Sigma 15mm f/1.4 ($1,999) and Sony 8-14mm f/3.5 ($1,599) by thousands while offering autofocus and weather sealing.

Niche tool, creative weapon

Fisheyes are specialized tools not for every shoot, but having one in your arsenal gives you a unique creative perspective that inspires new ways of seeing.

A no-brainer for fisheye fans

If you have even remote interest in extreme wide angles, this lens is an incredible entry point at a fraction of competitor prices with no compromises.

“For everything this lens offers at its ridiculously low $449 price point, it's simply a no-brainer if you have even the remotest interest in shooting unique perspectives”
