Paired with Fuji X-E5. Link to video review in the bottom, support your small time creator 😻

After using the Brightin Star 10mm f/5.6 II for architecture, a local running race and finally Copenhell Festival, I realised this lens makes the most sense in absolute chaos. Circle pits, smoke, flames, beer flying through the air and people everywhere. The exaggerated perspective suddenly becomes part of the experience instead of just a visual gimmick.

For just $66, it’s surprisingly well built, easy to zone focus and honestly a lot of fun. No, it’s not clinically sharp, and it won’t replace my everyday lenses. But for festivals? It’s one of the first lenses I’ll pack from now on.

If you’ve been curious about fisheye photography but never wanted to spend hundreds of dollars, this is a fun little lens to experiment with.

Copenhell festival with Leica M EV1 / Mandler 35mm f/2.0

I went to Copenhell Festival in Copenhagen, worked with some bands, and photographed others.

It was my first time using the Mandler 35mm f/2.0, and I came away impressed. It’s tiny, lightweight, and incredibly quick to focus manually. It may not be as clinically sharp as the Voigtländer Nokton 35mm f/1.2, but it has plenty of character, and the files are a joy to work with.

Here are just a few of the many photos I took over two days at the festival.

1. Rival Sons
2. Faetooth
3. Black Label Society
4. Happy people
5. Happy people
6. SPLIT
7. Slay Squad
8. Scimitar
9. Gatecreeper
10. Happy people
11. Faetooth
12. End It
13. Six Feet Under
14. IOTUNN
15. Happy people
16. Scimitar
17. Suicidal Tendencies

I finally found a purpose for the Brightin Star 10mm f/5.6 II ultra-wide/fisheye lens: the circle pit.
Here are some of my favorite shots from two days at Copenhell. They were all shot with the Fuji X-E5. Turns out it handles dust, sand, beer, Coke Zero, and the occasional drunk Dane surprisingly well. 🤘

Taken this morning in Matosinhos- Portugal!

Woke up to a foggy Matosinhos, Portugal. Perfect beach weather, obviously. Time to hit the sand.

Wow, a $66 lens shouldn’t be producing images like these. I am impressed!

Of course, this isn’t a lens for pixel peeping.

Review comes in two weeks, just gotta torture it in Portugal, hellfire of Copenhell and a wedding first.
