7Artisans has introduced a new, budget circular fisheye lens with a unique 225° field of view for APS-C cameras. This 7Artisans 4mm f/2.8 lens makes taking 360° panoramas easy, and could even be a 180° VR video solution. Let’s have a look at the specs! Founded in 2015, 7Artisans has made a name for themselves with a range of cost-effective, manual lenses for mirrorless mounts. Though their lenses come with some compromises, their fresh take on design is a welcomed retreat from the norm and is, in some cases, unmatched. This lens joins a tiny list of lenses that can create a circular fisheye perspective on a Micro Four Thirds or APS-C camera. Circular lenses are a very niche product, not a standard carry fisheye lens.

Whatsmore, this lens can also be used to shoot striking, ultra-wide video. The video can then be processed in post for use in 180° VR applications, or paired with a second camera to create 360° VR or 180° stereoscopic VR on a budget.

The manufacturer refers to this as “God’s Perspective,” a visual experience that is certainly unique. 7Artisans 4mm f/2.8 Lens on drone. Image Credit: 7Artisans 7Artisans...
