So if you're currently shooting with a Sony camera stick around Altura
Photo has just introduced a brand new circular fisheye the 6.5 milliliter f/2
is going to be a fun and exciting lens for your Sony mirrorless camera
This lens is designed and optimized for the aps-c mirrorless camera so cameras like
the a6000 all the way to today's 6500 it will even work great on the upcoming
a6400 now this lens provides a super wide field of view and it's the perfect lens
to have in your kit for capturing those creative and expansive shots of the
world around you as implied by the name this captures a unique circular image
giving you an impressive 190 degree field of view horizontally vertically
and diagonally now this is great for shooting travel landscape
astrophotography extreme sports and it's even fun photographing your pets or your
kids composing your image using a circular fisheye could be tricky at
first but keep at it it's a really exciting lens to use and it's super wide
field-of-view provides you with so much in the scene that watch out either you
or your tripod may enter the photograph as well even though this lens is
designed for the crop sensor mirrorless cameras you can still mount this onto a
full-frame sony camera like the a7 r3 now if you're gonna shoot in the full
frame format the lens will produce a smaller image circle so I recommend
going into the menu and switching to the super 35 millimeter crop mode for
shooting stills or 4k video
as I mentioned previously the circular
fisheye is going to capture a circular image in the middle of the
frame and it's gonna be black on the left and a right hand side now if you're
looking to have the image cover the entire frame you can simply crop the
image the aspect ratio that you desire and voila you have an ultra wide photo
now the Altura Photo six point five millimeter lens is fully manual which
means that you're in control of the amount of light that passes through the
lens as well as the focus now when shooting outdoors in good light focus is
not something to fuss about because you have
great depth of field and shooting in manual is what makes this lens extremely
fun to work with now the lens features a focus ring that
moves smoothly and has markings for when the subject matter is near or far from
the lens now this lens allows you to focus as close as 8.4 inches from your
subject matter that allows you to get those dynamic shots that you've always
been looking for now when you're focusing this close to your subject
matter focus is going to be more critical and I recommend using this
helpful focus assist feature on your camera which is the focus magnification
now you can use this either through your viewfinder or through the LCD on the
back of the camera and this is going to allow you to pinpoint the actual point
of focus that you're looking for the outer photos six point five millimeter
lens features an aperture range of a fast f2 to f-22 now the ring moves
smoothly it's d clicked which will allow you to quickly and easily increase or
decrease the amount of light that passes through the lens
now the lens features six elements in five groups for excellent sharpness and
clarity each individual element has multi-layer coating to help improve
color and contrast and to help reduce flare and ghosting in backlit bright
situations now it's fast maximum aperture of F to makes this well suited
for shooting indoors or in low-light situations just like the Altura Photo
8mm fisheye this has a durable all-metal build it has a metal
rear lens mount for a secure fit to your Sony camera and one of the great
features is its physical size now it's just about two inches in length weighs
under a pound at 10.58 ounces which makes this the perfect match for your
Sony mirrorless camera compact and lightweight this lens is small enough to
keep in your bag at all times for when you want to capture that unique
perspective of your subject matter Altura Photo also provides you with a
custom fitted case to protect and store your new lens so if you've been looking

point five millimeter circular fisheye from Altura Photo the images it
