Brightin Star 11mm F2.8 Fisheye: All-Metal, Budget, Weird

Fisheye lenses have a short list of real use cases: skate photography, architecture with attitude, creative editorial, behind-the-scenes work. If you're on that list and balking at the price of the Laowa or Samyang equivalents, Brightin Star is a name worth knowing. All-metal construction on a manual-only lens at this price point is the actual story here, not the 180-degree field of view. It won't replace anything in a working kit, but as a specialty lens you grab once a month, the value proposition is harder to dismiss than the brand name suggests.
