About the Entaniya Fisheye HAL 220 Cinema Lens
Entaniya HAL 220 is an ultra-wide fisheye cinema lens designed to capture an extreme 220-degree field of view, enabling immersive perspectives beyond the capability of conventional optics. It produces a highly distorted, spherical image with strong edge curvature, while maintaining sharpness and clarity in the center of the frame.
Built for specialized applications, the HAL 220 is used in VR, dome projection, and experimental cinematography where maximum spatial coverage is required. Its interchangeable rear optics allow adaptation across multiple sensor formats, including full-frame and beyond. The lens is engineered for scenarios involving close proximity action and expansive environments, where traditional wide-angle lenses cannot achieve the same field of view.

Image Fidelity & Focus
Straight lines outside the center distort heavily into a fisheye projection, an intentional part of the visual signature. At the image center, the HAL 220 resolves with surprising sharpness and clarity, maintaining high resolution for full-frame and VR capture applications. Toward the edges, however, fidelity gradually softens, with increased stretching and falloff that accentuate the immersive, enveloping effect. Chromatic aberrations and vignetting are well controlled for such a specialized optic, though not entirely absent. Clean rendering that integrates well into postproduction pipelines for VR stitching and 360ยฐ capture. Focus adjustment is minimal because the extreme depth of field at such wide focal lengths renders most of the scene in focus, simplifying operation but limiting creative shallow-focus effects. But the design allows for precise adjustment where needed, particularly in close-focus applications.
Handling & Adaptability
The HAL 220 is surprisingly small and compact, despite the complex optical design required to achieve such an expansive field of view. This makes the lens highly suitable for a wide variety of unique set ups. The HAL 220 is offered in PL or LPL mounts.
Flare & Bokeh
Flare behavior is bold and dramatic โ bright sources create sweeping arcs and reflections across the extreme field, which can be embraced for stylized imagery or carefully managed for cleaner results. Because of their optical design, bokeh is not a primary feature โ depth of field is enormous across the frame โ but the HAL 220 delivers striking spatial distortion and perspective that create a highly immersive viewing experience.
Image Circle
Built with interchangeable rear optics, the HAL 220 can be adapted to cover a wide range of sensor formats, from Micro Four Thirds up to full-frame and beyond. The oversized image circle ensures compatibility with a variety of camera systems and projection methods, making them versatile for VR rigs, dome projection, and 360ยฐ capture.
Cinematic Heritage
The Japanese company Entaniya built a history of pushing optical boundaries for virtual reality and experimental cinema. The HAL 220 is one result. Since their introduction, they have become a benchmark for ultra-wide specialty lenses, enabling filmmakers and artists to explore perspectives far beyond the reach of traditional optics.
