By on

7Artisans announces the new 4mm f/2.8 circular fisheye lens for APS-C mirrorless cameras and compatible drones.. The 7Artisans 4mm f/2.8 lens costs $150 and available in Sony E, Fuji X, MFT, and Canon EOS-M mount. It is now listed for sale on Amazon.

This 7Artisans 4mm f/2.8 lens makes taking 360° panoramas easy, and could even be a 180° VR video solution. The fully manual lens offers a roughly 6mm full-frame equivalent focal length with a 225º field of view. It’s constructed of 10 elements in eight groups, uses a seven-blade aperture diaphragm, has a minimum focusing distance of 8.5mm (.3”) and uses a de-clicked aperture ring.

The lens is made of metal and weighs just 201g (7oz). It’s available for Canon EOS-M, Fujifilm X, Micro Four Thirds and Sony E-mount camera systems. 7Artisans also notes it can be paired with DJI drones for fisheye images captured from the sky.
