I’ve lost count on how many Chinese lenses are sold under all possible names.

One we never mentioned so far is Cheecar, who back launched the Cheecar 10mm f/5.6 also for Fujifilm X mount.

This looks almost identical to the existing Pergear 10mm f/5.6 and the Brightin Star 10mm f/.5.6 Fisheye lens.

Now Christopher Frost shared his review about this lens (mounted on a Sony full frame camera).

Here is the summary of his video:

• smooth focus and aperture ring
• focus ring turns a little heavily and very precise for manual focusing
• almost no focus breathing
• 67mm filter size is nice and unusual for such a wide angle lens. Use a slim filter with this lens to avoid to occur in vignetting
• metal lens hood
• lovely build quality
• image quality
• at f/2.8: excellent sharpness and contrast in the center and still quite some good detail in the corners. The very edges are soft
• at f/4 corners quickly improve to become very impressive
• at f/16 comes a bit of softness due to diffraction
• at f/2.8 distortion isn’t too high with just moderate barrel distortion
• at f/2.8 huge vignetting in the corners and they begin to brighten up at f/4
• 20 cm minimum focus distance and remains sharp at close distance
• average amount of flaring although it is fairly transparent hence it should rarely cause any problems
• coma smearing is absolutely minimal even at f/2.8 and what eventually is there is gone at f/4
• some sunstar effect is visible even at f/2.8 and they become quickly nice and strong at f/4 and they get even better at f/8 and f/11
• bokeh perhaps just a little nervous, but nothing too distracting
• overall he is pretty impressed by how well this little lens performs
