AstrHori Body-Cap Fisheye 10mm F8 · APS-C MF · Leica M

AstrHori MF 10mm F8 APS-C Body-Cap Fisheye Lens for Leica M — Body-Cap Fisheye for Leica M Rangefinder Cameras

The AstrHori MF 10mm F8 for Leica M mount is an APS-C body-cap fisheye designed specifically for Leica M-Mount rangefinder cameras. Only 15mm thick and 130g, it brings a full 180° fisheye view that Leica rangefinder shooters have never had access to before. The optical design uses 5 elements in 4 groups, including 3 ED elements, for excellent control of chromatic aberration.

Key Features

• Ultra-compact body-cap style: very thin and small (approx. 15 mm) and weighing only about 130 g, keeping your Leica M-Mount camera as portable as with just a body cap. Ideal for photographers who value agility (stealth shooting).
• Full 180° fisheye view: a field of view up to 180 degrees that creates unique rounded, distorted images, adding creativity and visual impact to street, landscape or portrait work.
• Fixed F8 aperture: a simple design with a fixed F8 aperture makes shooting fast and easy (especially at the hyperfocal distance). Best in good light, with sharp images from edge to edge.
• Optical quality above its price: 5 elements in 4 groups with as many as 3 ED (Extra-Low Dispersion) elements to control chromatic aberration and deliver high sharpness.
• Leica M-Mount compatibility: designed specifically for Leica M-Mount cameras (and other M-mount bodies), letting rangefinder users enjoy a completely different fisheye perspective.

Best For

• Leica M-Series users (M9, M10, M11, M-E, Q-M...) who want a fisheye lens
• Stealth / street photography with a very light setup
• Creative / art photography in the M-Mount system
• Pairing with the Leica M-typ 240 / 246 monochrome
• A backup lens to keep in the bag
• Travel photography needing an extra lens that adds no burden

FAQ

• Q: Does it work with every Leica M model?
  A: Yes, including M8/M9/M-E/M240/M246/M10/M11 — it uses the standard Leica M bayonet. However, images are APS-C crop (on bodies that support a crop mode) because the image circle covers APS-C only.
• Q: Can the Leica M rangefinder be used to focus this lens?
  A: This lens is a fixed F8 at 10mm, so the hyperfocal distance is very short. Set the distance once and everything is sharp, so there is no need to focus with the rangefinder.
• Q: Can it be mounted on a Leica M-to-mirrorless adapter?
  A: Yes, via an M-Mount adapter (M to E / M to Z / M to RF / M to L), so you can use it on other mirrorless cameras as you like.
