Samsung has unveiled what it claims is the "lightest and thinnest" fisheye lens on the market, Digital Spy said.

The 10mm F3.5 Fisheye Lens is compatible with the firm's NX camera series, and is said to be around half the size and weight of its competitors.

Samsung describes the accessory as an "innovation in 180-degree lens technology", and claims that it is ideal for capturing both landscape and portrait images.

Weighing in at 72g, the lens comes equipped with a range of iScene options, including Beauty Shot, Portrait, Night, Backlight, Children and Sports, as well as a Circular Aperture Diaphragm for bringing subject images front and centre.

The Samsung 10mm F3.5 Fisheye Lens will be available in black or white to match the colour scheme of the NX series.

A price for the accessory is yet to be announced.
