Pergear has announced a new 10mm f/5.6 II pancake fisheye lens designed for Nikon Z-mount APS-C cameras, priced at $69. The lens is positioned as an affordable ultra-wide option for creators seeking distinctive fisheye perspectives in a compact form factor.

According to the announcement, the lens is part of Pergear’s expanded lineup supporting multiple mounts, including Nikon Z, Sony E, Canon RF, Fujifilm X, and Micro Four Thirds. This specific version is optimized for Nikon’s Z-mount system, which Nikon continues to develop as part of its mirrorless camera ecosystem known for high image quality and robust build.

The pancake design emphasizes portability, making it suitable for travel, street, and experimental photography where minimal size and weight are priorities. At f/5.6, the lens offers a fixed aperture, simplifying exposure control in consistent lighting conditions while maintaining a low price point.

Pergear’s strategy appears focused on delivering budget-friendly specialty lenses that expand creative possibilities without requiring significant investment. By targeting the Nikon Z-mount — increasingly adopted by both enthusiasts and professionals — the company taps into a growing user base seeking versatile, cost-effective glass.
