A bulbous front element decides whether filters are possible at all · review
A manual-focus 10 mm f/2 ultra-wide for APS-C, sold with a 72 mm filter holder, for about $169. It is a budget lens for night skies and architecture.
At 10 mm on APS-C, the TTArtisan covers 105°. It costs about $169, well below autofocus ultra-wides.
f/2 gathers more light than common f/2.8 wides, which helps keep ISO down on star shots. Manual focus is normal for astrophotography.
Ultra-wide lenses often have bulging front elements that cannot take filters. TTArtisan includes a 72 mm filter holder.
The listing says its full-frame equivalent is 1 mm, which is a misprint. On APS-C, a 10 mm lens frames like about 15 mm on full frame. An equivalent focal length is a calculation: it describes the field of view on a full-frame camera. The focal length engraved on the lens never changes.
