7artisans 7.5mm F2.8 APS-C Wide Angle Fisheye Fixed Lens for Canon Compact Mirrorless Cameras Canon EF-M Mount M1 M2 M3 M5 M6 M10-Black

Got the lens because I needed a wide angleIt does what it claims to. Already love the lens and its been a day

Good lens to use in small space. One thing i miss was autofocus.

I purchased it and before buying this lens I asked the seller if it would fit on Canon Mark ii which has an M mount, he replied that it was compatible with the camera, but upon receiving it, to my surprise it was an E mount lens.

I had been looking at this 7artisans lens for a while but thought I could save a little money by buying from a different manufacturer; I was wrong. I returned that other lens the very next day because both the build quality and optical quality were not good at all.I immediately ordered the 7artisans 7.5mm fisheye and when it came in I was IMPRESSED!The build quality is awesome and it's a day and night difference compared to the cheaper lens I just returned. It feels much more solid and optically it looks much better too.Why did I buy a 7.5mm fisheye lens?This year I decided to go mirrorless with my timelapse cameras and picked up a used Canon EOS M.My main timelapse cameras are the Canon 50D (see pictures for comparison) with a Rokinon 8mm fisheye lens, which on a crop-sensor body becomes roughly a 13mm fisheye. I picked up an adapter to use the EF mount Rokinon 8mm fisheye on the EOS M and it works fine but the combination is still a bit large (see pictures). I searched for fisheye lenses for the Canon EOS M and there aren't a whole lot of great options (as I found out from my first purchase). This lens is perfect for me, very compact and very well worth the price. I can mount the EOS M with this lens in tight places or even use a suction cup mount and not worry about how large it is. In one of the attached pictures you can see the Rokinon lens with the EOS M adapter, next to the Rokinon lens with no adapter, next to the 7artisans lens, and that will give you an idea of how much more compact my new setup will be.Unlike most lenses that only stop down to f/16, this lens stops all the way down to f/22 which I occasionally need in order to use slower shutter speeds. This lens also opens up to f/2.8 and the Rokinon only opens to f/3.5, so this will be a little better in low-light situations. I haven't done video with this lens, but if I did I would totally appreciate the 'clickless' aperture control ring which allows you to smoothly adjust the aperture without the clicks that most other lenses have.As I mentioned above, I'm very happy with this lens and as soon as I complete this review I'm going to order my THIRD copy of this lens for my other EOS M. This is a really great little lens and I would be interested in trying out other lenses from 7artisans as well.

Not a bad lens for pics doesn't seem to work ver well with video but for wide pics seems to do a pretty good job

lets say the only lens I own are Canon L type lens...ok I will admit I am a "L" lens snob...so when my son asked for a mirror less camera I got him a Canon M50 and a lens adapter because I have all Canon lens...so when he asked for a fisheye lens I said what for? I never needed it and didn't think he needed it too...he explained because of the crop sensor even my 17mm to 40mm wasn't wide enough...i told him to take a few steps back...lol anyway since I didn't think he needed it and I didn't really like how Fisheye pictures looked I wasn't about to spend $$$$ on one...so just for laughs I found this lens on Amazon...I looked at the reviews and everyone seemed happy with it...so I got it for him...the first picture is at the Tokyo Convention Center, the next two picture are near our hotel at Tokyo Bay...I have to admit those are some nice pictures and in two of them you can't really tell its a fisheye lens...he's very happy with the lens and my wallet is very happy too...over all we are very satisfied with the lens

Hard to attach to camera and whe you did finally attach it-it pevented operation of the camera.

Super all-metal construction, best packaging this side of Apple. The image quality very nice if you take a bit of care. All manual operation is close to effortless since it’s almost always in focus when set at infinity. The fisheye effect is moderate and enjoyable and easily corrected for in Lightroom and other editors if you must.
