AstrHori 6mm f/2.8 Full-Frame Circular Fisheye Lens Sony E-mount
The AstrHori 6mm f/2.8 Full-Frame Circular Fisheye Lens (Sony E-mount) is a circular fisheye lens with manual focus, ideal for content creators who want to push the boundaries of perspective and style. Compatible with full-frame mirrorless cameras, it offers a diagonal circular angle of view of 220°, letting you transform everyday scenes into immersive imagery.
The AstrHori 6mm F2.8 Fisheye features 10 optical elements in 8 groups, including 2 low-dispersion elements and 4 high-refractive-index elements. This delivers sharp, exaggerated barrel distortion — perfect for dramatic cityscapes, creative portraits, and experimental video. The fast maximum aperture of f/2.8 ensures excellent low-light performance, making it a smart choice for night photography and astrophotography.
With a minimum focusing distance of 8 cm, the lens can capture stunning close-ups and crystal ball effects that magnify detail and enhance visual impact. The compact, all-metal construction keeps the weight to approximately 340 grams, and the 9-blade aperture delivers smooth, rounded bokeh.
Capture cityscapes with a wider field of view, allowing the urban landscape to truly come into its own. The AstrHori 6mm F2.8 offers an exceptional diagonal field of view of 220° — far beyond that of ordinary fisheye lenses — covering almost an entire hemisphere in a single frame. Shooting tip: Extend linear elements (such as geometric architecture, skyscrapers, or trees) towards the edges of the frame to make creative use of distortion and create an immersive, spatial effect.
Combine a circular fisheye lens with a wide aperture to capture breathtaking images of the Milky Way and star trails. With its wide 220° angle of view, the 6mm F2.8 lens captures the night sky and the Milky Way in a single shot, with no post-processing required. Shooting tip: Place Polaris at the centre of the frame to create perfectly concentric star trails.
Exaggerated fisheye distortion accentuates architecture and transforms narrow streets into sweeping scenes.
Take on new challenges outdoors — the circular fisheye lens offers broader, more unconventional perspectives and captures vast environments and unique terrain. The image appears as a complete circle with strong edge distortion, as though the entire world has been enclosed in a sphere, delivering a powerful visual impact. Shooting tip: When shooting, position the horizon at approximately one-third or two-thirds of the frame to avoid the frozen effect that occurs when the image is divided down the middle.
Create exaggerated perspectives and playful compositions for striking portraits. Discover playful and exaggerated portrait compositions with the unique circular fisheye perspective. Tip: Place your subject at the centre of the frame to minimise distortion, and use exaggerated poses to stretch the body towards the edges for a playful and dynamic effect.
Capture striking, one-of-a-kind, visually arresting images — ideal for first- or third-person vlogs, extreme sports videos, and experimental 360° stitching in post-production.
