Worth Knowing
−Manual focus only with no autofocus capability
−Fixed f/5.6 maximum aperture limits low-light performance, requires tripod for night photography
−No front filter threads due to protruding fisheye element design
−Notable barrel distortion and potential chromatic aberration typical of fisheye lenses
−Focus ring can develop play; ring may loosen over time requiring manual adjustment

Read our notes on general
The Brightin Star 10mm f/5.6 PRO is an ultra-compact APS-C fisheye lens delivering a striking 175° field of view in a remarkably lightweight 100g package with retro-inspired design. Despite its manual focus and f/5.6 fixed aperture limiting low-light capability, the hyperfocal distance design and stepped aperture ring make it an excellent budget-friendly option for travel and landscape photography on mirrorless cameras across Sony E, Fujifilm X, Canon RF-S, Nikon Z, and MFT mounts.
