Pros: Angle of view, decent sharpness at f8, construction, little distortion, including filters

Cons: Soft at TA, color rendering in line with the price, suffering from flare, coma (but it's okay), flare, chromatic aberrations

Opinion: If you know how to handle such a wide range, it's fun. Taken on a trip to Madeira to photograph the Levadas waterfalls, impossible with longer focal lengths, he fulfilled his task well. It seemed well made to me (it's metal, it weighs) and it's decently optically correct. Smooth, smooth dials, well-notified clicks for aperture change. Photographing through trees, fringing is persistent and difficult to remove, it is both in purple and green, depending on the area of the frame and the angle of incidence of light. Decent star, but flares that get everywhere, even if the sun is out of frame: while you shoot you struggle to see them, but then in editing they come out. Also used for some "ambient macros", mushrooms in the forest, with multiple exposures and manual focus stacking. Somewhat flat color rendering, it makes you work slightly in post, but better this way than having a hyper-contrasted lens that burns the highlights and blackens the shadows. Made some night shots, but thanks to the not really suitable aperture and the focal length so extreme the coma at the edges was really unwatchable, but it's okay, it's not a lens designed for this (on this I'm a "picky" then). From the other reviews it would seem that there is a wide variability in the specimens. Given the focal length there are no problems in focusing correctly, the ring is quite precise in scale (more than some pro Nikon lenses), but infinity that moves as the aperture changes. Used on the Z7II and Z8 it solved the 45mpx of the sensor well, with the limitations I highlighted: probably less dense sensors would be more tolerant on fringing and softness at TA. Never used filters, to smooth the water I just had to go down to 32 iso and close to f16, so I can say nothing more than that they are there and that they stick to the rear. For the price at which it is sold it is a lens that is worthwhile, if you accept its limitations.

Pros: Angle of view, possibility of inserting the filter behind the lens, star effect, price, excellent construction, very little distortion, free gift when buying two filters.

Cons: The color rendering, the brightness, the focus loses its mind when you insert a filter, the sharpness, the angle of view is not 9mm but a little more.

Opinion: I was enticed by the focal length but I was a little disappointed after reading only praise. However, given the price, it wasn't a bad buy. Even the bulk is small and a place in the backpack is always found. I haven't tested it yet in some night photos but I believe, and hope, that it can give me some more satisfaction.

Pros: Immense angle of view, sharpness, excellent center-edge rendering, small, good resistance to flare, star

Cons: I can't find any for the price, maybe the vignetting

Opinion: It's an amazing lens! at least my copy has performance that I didn't expect. On a 61mpx sensor already at f5.6 it has an excellent edge center resolution, at f8 things get even better. The extreme angles are always a little below but honestly on a 9mm that always requires a minimum of correction of falling lines it is totally irrelevant. In full backlight it maintains a good contrast, very little flare and a very nice and clean star. He cartoons quite a bit but corrects himself. Emblazoned lenses do worse. It is equipped with rear circular screw ND filters (ND 64 and ND1000) and a Natural light filter. ND filters once mounted change the plane of fire, so tests must be carried out. In my case with the ND1000 it has infinity when 0.3m is indicated on the ring. I will update the review over time.

Pros: Creative: Construction, Angle, Definition, Price, Minimal Distortion

Cons: Little appreciated by detractors

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.
