Pergear announces $89 10mm F5.6 fisheye lens for APS-C camera systems

Budget lens manufacturer Pergear has announced its new 10mm F5.6 Pancake Fisheye Lens for APS-C camera systems.

The full-manual lens is constructed of six elements in four groups. Pergear doesn’t specify whether any specific optical elements are used, but does says the front element has a multi-layer coating ‘to suppress flare and ghosting.’ Other features include a 15cm (5.9″) minimum focusing distance, a built-in petal-shaped lens hood.

The lens is constructed entirely of metal and measures in at 5cm (2″) in diameter, 3.2cm (1.26″) tall and weighs only 120g (4.2oz).

Below is a trio of low-resolution sample images, provided by Pergear:

The Pergear 10mm F5.6 Pancake Fisheye Lens is available for only $89 for Fujifilm X mount, Micro Four Thirds (MFT) mount and Sony E mount APS-C camera systems. It’s available to purchase on Pergear’s website, as well as Amazon (Fujifilm X mount, MFT mount and Sony E mount).
