Description — NiSi 9mm f/2.8
The NiSi 9mm f/2.8 Sunstar is a prime, ultra wide-angle lens built for APS-C mirrorless cameras in the Fujifilm X mount. Its 9mm focal length makes it well suited for wide-scene photography including landscapes, interiors, and architectural subjects where capturing a broad view is the priority. The f/2.8 maximum aperture provides solid light intake for a lens in this focal range, giving photographers flexibility when light levels drop.
Focus is manual, offering precise control for deliberate, composed shooting. There is no image stabilization on board, so steady technique or a tripod is recommended for slower shutter speeds. The 67mm filter thread is a practical feature for landscape photographers who frequently use screw-on filters.
Weighing in at 364g, the lens balances capability with portability for day-to-day carry in a mirrorless kit. Designed exclusively for the APS-C format, it pairs directly and optimally with Fujifilm X mount APS-C bodies.
