Pergear 7.5mm f2.8 Fisheye Overview

  • October 6, 2020
  • AGriffin

Pergear has released a new 7.5mm f2.8 fisheye lens for the APS-C mount.

This lens will produce a 130-degree angle of view with an f2.8 aperture. Like Pergear’s other APS-C lenses, it also has a full metal construction with a copper core.

 

Lens Specifications

Focal Length: 7.5mm Fisheye f2.8
Angle of View: 180-degrees (APS-C)
Aperture: 10R
Elements: 9 elements 8 groups
Minimum Focus: 12cm / 0.4ft
Weight: 320g

 

Check Price – Amazon / Pergear

 

 

List Of Fisheye Lenses For APS-C Cameras

There are a few other fisheye APS-C lenses out there, some more expensive, some with different builds.

Lens 35mm Equiv Elements Aperture Check Price
Loawa 4mm MFT lens 7/6 7 Amazon
Opteka 6.5mm f2 9.8mm 6/5 9 Amazon
Pergear 7.5mm f2.8 11.25mm 9/8 10R Amazon
Brightin Star 7.5mm f2.8 11.25mm 11/9 10R Amazon
7Artisans 7.5mm f2.8 11.25mm 11/10 12 Amazon
Rokinon 8mm f2.8 12mm 11/8   Amazon

 

In comparison, you can see the Pergear sits in the middle of element count at 9 elements vs 6 and 7 elements with the Opteka and Loawa and 11 with everyone else. The Loawa is actually a MFT fisheye lens that you can use on APS-C camera where you will see the full image circle.

 

What to do with a fisheye lens?

The big appeal to these fisheye lenses is most of them can capture a 130-degree field of view. It will give you a fisheye look, however, you can use software like Fisheye-Hemi to remove the fisheye effect for just an ultra-wide look or a rectilinear look. Essentially it does what a GoPro does. Superview – to wide – to linear.

    Is this article complete? I keep checking back to see if there are some sample images or something. It just seems to end abruptly. I don’t mean to sound snarky, please delete this if I am incorrect. I’m just a fan and want to read more.

      No but they should send me a lens soon. This was just an announcement to let people know the lens exists.

    Can the Laowa MFT be used on a Fujifilm? I see it is MFT but I do not know what that means in terms of the mount. Thanks!

      They sell the Laowa for the MFT, but it has the round image circle. Some people like that with a fisheye which is probably why they sell it like that.

    Received mine the other day. Watch out for heavy metal lens cover. Mine is not very secure, fell off and landed dead on my big toe. That hurt. As for the images – they are being loaded into C1 now, so I will see shortly. But, I will wait for your review first before commenting.

      Oh that will be fun. I’ve actually never reviewed a fisheye before so I have no idea what to expect. I won’t be able to get one for another month though.

        I decided to try these lens caps: https://www.amazon.com/KUVRD-Universal-Lens-Cap-2-0/dp/B07MVK33ZT/ as a way to hold on the actual metal lens cover. Adds a bit to the overall cost. However, since these come as a two pack minimum, and I do have some lens that have difficult to remove lens caps the price is “ok”. Most particularly the Laowa 65mm Macro. The design of the lens and cap are perfectly fine. But the lens is fairly skinny, and the lens shade is deep, making it hard to get a hold of the cap. We’ll see. Since the shade is metal (or very strong plastic), the fact that the “cap” is rubber will not matter.

        I do enjoy playing with the fish-eye. I don’t have a way to remove the distortion with Capture One (or at least I don’t know how to), but then if I really don’t want that effect, I can use the Laowa 9mm ZeroD lens. This was fun to take: https://www.flickr.com/photos/mikeporterinmd/50556468652/ I think it violates most composition rules 🙂
