AstrHori has introduced a new manual focus 8mm F2.4 circular fisheye lens tailored for Fujifilm GFX medium format systems, expanding creative options for photographers and videographers seeking immersive, distortion-rich perspectives. The lens delivers a full 220° circular fisheye view, ensuring complete coverage across the larger GFX sensor without vignetting or cropping limitations.

Built with an optical formula of 10 elements in 8 groups, the lens incorporates two ED (extra-low dispersion) elements and two high-refractive-index elements to help manage chromatic aberration and maintain image clarity despite the extreme wide-angle design. This thoughtful construction supports the high resolution demands of medium format sensors while preserving the characteristic circular fisheye look.

With a bright maximum aperture of F2.4, the lens performs well in low-light environments, offering greater flexibility for indoor shoots, nightscapes, or controlled studio lighting where depth and mood are key. The minimum focus distance of just 0.1 meters allows creators to get extremely close to subjects, enhancing the dramatic exaggeration of perspective that fisheye lenses are known for.

Designed exclusively for the GFX mount, the lens also supports Hasselblad XCD cameras via adapter compatibility, broadening its appeal across medium format platforms. Its manual focus design encourages deliberate, thoughtful shooting—ideal for landscape, architectural, and experimental visual storytelling where precision and creativity intersect.

This release underscores AstrHori’s growing role in providing accessible, high-performance optics for medium format users. By pairing innovative optics with the renowned color science and retro-inspired ergonomics of Fujifilm’s X-T and GFX lines, creators gain a powerful tool to push visual boundaries while staying true to the tactile, intentional shooting experience that defines the Fujifilm ecosystem.
