Opinion:I had the opportunity to try this lens for a few days and I must say that I find it succeeded at least on a par with some other lenses in its category, let's not compare it with optics that cost twice as much please because it is a third-party lens that should fall into the economy category but in my opinion it defends itself very well and I don't think that an average grade with 6 is an "honest" thing Then everyone has their own needs but I find it inadequate to expect more in terms of value for money. I didn't notice any particular AC and in any case they are easily corrected, little vignetting that at f8 improves a lot and I find the sharpness good already closing an aperture but I reiterate that it is not an F 2 ..... I placed the order on the official website where among other things the price is the best and for the use I will make of it it is excellent. The alternatives would be 7Artisan 9mm with a slightly higher cost and without the possibility of applying internal filters but in the end I think it is the same lens and alternatively the Laowa 9mm ..... the choice is yours. UPDATE 10/02/2025 canceled the order on the official website as it did not guarantee me delivery without ancillary taxes so I placed the order on Amazon following the Juza link. After a few shots with my sample I can confirm that I find it satisfactory, small ACs appear depending on the direction of the light and a slight distortion that I noticed more difficult to correct with Lightroom than with other programs, perhaps due to the fact that there is no profile for this lens but with a "4 pennies" program it corrects perfectly. In conclusion, I would say that it is worth having if you are a lover of extreme focal lengths and have the patience to set focus and exposure manually, it is not an optic for fast use.
Pros:Price, possibility of using rear screw filters, at f5.6 it doesn't make stars
Cons:suffers from flare, focus, and manual iris
Opinion:A unique lens of its kind, which for only about 470 euros allows you to have a full-frame ultra-wide angle in your bag at a very low price, given that its competitor with mirrorless attachment would be the Voigtlander 10mm which costs over a thousand euros. Important to know that these lenses on reflex cameras cannot be used, they are only for sony/canon/nikon/ mirrorless. This lens is completely manual both in focus and in aperture and does not have the electronic data communication chip, so the camera shoots as if it were without a lens and does not know in the exif data which lens you are using. Like all lenses in the world it suffers a bit from flare in backlight, and you have to be careful because sometimes these flares are very invasive and difficult to remove. For the price it costs it is very sharp and suffers little from coma. You can mount 34mm rear screw filters, the parent company provides you with an nd1000, an nd64 and a natural night filter (obviously being rear no polarizer). For lovers of the star around the lights of the street lamps it is a lens that stars exactly like the Voigtlanders, but for those who do not like them, this lens can please everyone, because it starts to star at the f6.3 / 7.1 shot, in fact if used at f5.6, the lights are soft and without any star, ditto the sun during the day against the light. In conclusion, if you have to spend over a thousand euros and want absolute quality, get the Voigtlander, especially if you have a 60mpx machine and you are demanding. If, on the other hand, you want a quality/price compromise and want to spend less than half, being able to use the rear filters as well, then the Brightin Star will be an excellent choice.
