7Artisans AF 10mm F2.5 MAX Fisheye

Early reviews are very positive for the price. Testers report that the centre is sharp from f/2.5 and that edges hold up better than expected for a 185° design, though field curvature softens the far corners. Flare and ghosting are well controlled even with the sun in frame, and the 9-blade diaphragm gives clean 18-point sunstars. Autofocus is described as quick, quiet and dependable for moving subjects.

The main caveats are about the system rather than the optics. Some older or less common Sony bodies are only partly supported or not supported at all, so buyers should check 7Artisans' compatibility list. The exposed front element needs care, filters are only possible behind the lens, and bokeh is busy when you do get separation.

Early owners like having a fisheye that focuses itself, especially for video where nobody can stand beside the lens to pull focus. The size and weight on compact bodies, the close-focus perspective and the price compared with Sigma's 15mm fisheye are the most common points of praise.

The complaints so far concern body compatibility on certain Sony models, the clicked-only aperture ring for video, and worry about scratching the protruding front glass. Owner feedback is still limited because the lens only shipped in late summer 2026.
