Brightin Star 7.5mm f/2.8 IV Fisheye Lands for APS-C Shooters
If you shoot skate, architecture details, or creative editorial on APS-C and want fisheye without the Samyang/Rokinon price tag, Brightin Star's 7.5mm f/2.8 IV is worth a look. Manual focus only, so this isn't a run-and-gun tool. But for a controlled creative shoot where you're setting focus once and leaving it, that's not a dealbreaker. The broader pattern here is real: third-party Chinese glass keeps filling the specialty niches the big brands ignore.
