Funleader Caplens 18mm f/8.0

Funleader announces the new Caplens 18mm f/8 Pro slim bodycap lens for Sony E and Fuji X mount

I’m loving these weird and wonderful lenses that have been coming out over the last few years. It’s great to see the kinds of things companies are trying out, just to see how they’re received. Laowa’s Probe lens and the just announced AstrHori probe are two such examples of new weird lenses that have popped up. Funleader’s Caplens is another. And now they’ve updated their 18mm f/8 with a new “Pro” version.

The new Funleader Caplens 18mm f/8 Pro is a refresh of the original Caplens 18mm f/8 launched in 2019 via Kickstarter. It offers a minimum focus distance of only 30cm, shaving half a metre off the original lens, all the way out to infinity in several steps.

The Funleader 18mm f/8.0 Cap Lens is now available to buy for E, L, Z, RF and X mounts

It’s been a while since we heard about the Funleader 18mm f/8.0 cap lens. Launched last October through a well-backed Kickstarter campaign, this wide angle lens essentially just looks like a body cap for your camera. But it’s actually, as you might have guessed, an 18mm wide-angle lens.

Well, now the lenses have gone out to all of the Kickstarter backers and now it’s on general sale. Not only that, but as well as the original Sony E and Leica L mount flavours, it’s now also available for Nikon Z, Canon RF and Fuji X mounts, too.
