Review: Overall fantastic! But chromatic aberration... - I really love the texture, feeling, material of this solidly built lens. Really love the feeling of manually adjusting the parameters. The huge aperture, nice, great, I love the depth of field. However, the chromatic aberration of this lens does make me annoyed. Considering its price, I am still giving it a 5-star, but for now I will only use it for B&W mode. I will leave some sample images for your reference.
Review: Definitely a specialty lens - Something this ridiculously wide angle is a very unusual specialty lens. I wouldn't recommend it as a second or even seventh lens for most photographers. There are very few situations to use something like this. For the price you could purchase so many other more frequently used lenses. For the size and weight you could similarly carry one or two more useful lenses in your bag. But if you want this extreme ultra wide rectilinear look then this is the lens you are looking for! With that out of the way, this is a very well executed lens design. For such an extreme wide angle lens the edge and corner performance is very decent. I'm typically using it for landscape stopped down to F/8 which of course helps the corners and edges. I strongly recommend reading some of the thorough online reviews of this lens and the nearly identical 7Artisans version to set proper expectations (look especially for bastiank's review on Phillip Reeve's site). There will be significant vignetting. Often color shifts near the edges are an issue with these kinds of lenses depending on the camera used. Also be aware that assembly tolerances on these ultra-wide lenses tend to be extremely tight and hard to maintain. I'd definitely order from someplace with an excellent return policy like desertcart for that reason. I had to return two copies of the 7Artisan's version. I don't necessarily think Brightin Star has better manufacturing control than 7Artisans, probably I just got unlucky with 7Artisans and lucky with Brightin Star this time. Rather, just assume some of these very ambitious designs from off brands are likely to need to be checked upon receipt and potentially exchanged or returned. With that in mind, I can mention there is a somewhat smaller 9mm F/5.6 lens of a different design from Laowa. I was never able to get a copy of that lens that didn't have a fairly bad optical defect. I know they must exist because there are a few good reviews of that Laowa lens, but I tried two copies with no luck. By comparison, the two 7Artisans lenses of the same design as the Brighin Star that I returned only had minor defects compared to what I experienced with the Laowa. So again, don't purchase any of these kinds of lenses without a generous return/exchange policy! Compared with the 7Artisans version the Brightin Star version is unique having the rear mounted filter. I'm surprised how well the rear mounted filter works optically. Usually introducing glass behind the lens can result in severely degraded corners in ultra-wide-angle designs, but it seems to work fine here! One nice surprise with this lens (and the 7Artisans) is that they perform quite well on IR converted cameras. The other alternatives out there are fisheye lenses. The TTArtisan 11mm F/2.8 Fisheye is quite a bit less expensive and in my experience fisheye designs are for some reason far more tolerant to manufacturing tolerances. The 11mm is razor sharp. You can "defish" the TTArtisan to give a rectilinear projection and because it is such a sharp lens this actually works surprisingly well. The biggest problem with this is composition however. It is extremely difficult to visualize the final "defished" composition when shooting. With the Brighin Star 9mm you see what you are going to get. Also, the TTArtisans 11mm Fisheye is actually a 15mm Fisheye. They call it "11mm" because when defished it has the same field of view as an 11mm rectilinear lens. This goes to show just how extreme the Brighin Star 9mm design is, it is actually a wider field of view top to bottom than a full frame fisheye! I was torn as to whether this really deserves five stars. Compared with typical photographic lenses it is most definitely not five stars. It is not the most useful focal length, the design is very sensitive to manufacturing tolerances, many cameras will see color shifts on the edges, vignetting, manual focus only, and so on. But it wouldn't be fair to compare to a "normal" lens. There is very little else like this out there to compare to. Just the 7Artisans of the identical optical design and the Laowa 9mm of a very different optical design. I've tried all three and this was the only one I ever got that actually delivered on the promised optical performance. It is still a bag of compromises, but any lens of this design would be. So maybe this is "five stars for effort" understanding all the compromises that one should just expect with such a lens.
