Fisheye lens for just $66: Pergear unveils 10 mm f/5.6 II
Pergear has unveiled its second-generation 10 mm f/5.6 fisheye lens. While the specifications remain largely unchanged, the new version offers a higher-quality metal housing that also features an integrated lens hood. A revised lens coating is intended to improve image quality, especially in backlit conditions.
The basic concept remains unchanged – Pergear positions the lens as a particularly affordable way to add a fisheye perspective to a camera with an APS-C sensor. Despite a full-frame-equivalent focal length of 15 mm, the lens achieves a field of view of 172 degrees, made possible by its pronounced fisheye distortion. This allows for a dramatic perspective not only in landscape shots but also in close-up photos, with the lens able to focus on objects at a distance of at least 15 centimeters.
The fisheye lens can only be focused manually, but the very large depth of field of this slow ultra-wide-angle lens should make focusing straightforward. With a diameter of 50 millimeters, a length of 32 millimeters and a weight of 120 grams, the lens is exceptionally compact.
Pricing and availability
The Pergear 10 mm f/5.6 II fisheye lens is now available for $66 on Amazon, or for $69 in the manufacturer's online store. The lens is available for Fujifilm X, Sony E, Micro FourThirds, Nikon Z, Canon EOS M and Canon RF cameras, but its image circle only covers an APS-C sensor.
