This fisheye is a must buy if you film skatebarding/bmxing, very good and strong. It is very solid and I have taken some very nice photos.
R A CartyThis is a great productl and is very well built considering the low price tag. My lens has been hit countless times by loose skateboards and BMX wheels when trying to get the right angle but it still works perfectly. As long as you are ok with manual mocus and aperture go for this lens otherwise you will be spending a whole lot more.
Mr. P. J. MccUrryThanks to its smooth, de-clicked aperture and ideal focal length, the Samyang 8mm T/3.8 Fisheye Lens is a great lens for shooting video with your DSLR camera. It is designed to shoot with APS-C image sensors, for which it provides full frame coverage, creating an expanded perspective that covers the entire frame. For DSLR's with a full frame sensor, this lens will produce pictures with a semi-circular image and close-ups will appear proportionately large for a dramatic effect. Its de-clicked aperture range runs from T/3.8 to T/22, providing a smooth, silent, jump-free transition when shooting video and its multi-layered, anti-reflective UMC coated lenses allow for clean light transmission and razor sharp images. Toothed focusing, aperture rings and bright white numbering make controlling your image all the easier.
