Overview

The MC ARSAT 30mm f/3.5 is a Ukrainian-made rectangular fisheye lens for medium format cameras, praised for exceptional value. Its optical strengths include good image quality for the price, but barrel distortion is inherent and requires software correction. Build quality is solid, with versions for Mamiya 645, Contax 645, and Pentax 645, including a dedicated auto-aperture model. It suits photographers seeking an affordable ultra-wide solution for reduced-frame digital or medium format, especially those willing to correct distortion in post-processing.
