Quality glass and performance, but poorly sealed at the front, letting in humidity all too easily! Also not recommendable to be used on a full format camera since the camera will produce smaller images than usual that are somewhat distorded as well, filling only part of the frame (at least this is the case with my Canon Eos 6d mk2). Therefore i only use this lens on my cropped sensor cam, every now and then enjoying the fisheye experience.
jolande kistersCould not get along with this lens. It is manual focus and if you put on f22 you can't see what you are taking as it is too dark. You have to snap away and then check photos on the computer. Saved up and bought the sigma fisheye.
Mrs Helen J DaviesThe Samyang 8mm f/3.5 Aspherical IF MC Fisheye is a stunningly high quality, ultra-wide angle lens. It is produced for cameras with the APS-C or smaller sensors and its optical construction is based on 10 elements in 7 groups. Thanks to the use of an Aspherical hybrid lens and the newest generation multilayer anti–reflection coating, the optical performance is maintained to the highest possible level. The aperture consists of six diaphragm blades and can be closed down to f/22 for incredible depth-of field. A built-in lens hood is also fitted to prevent flare. The lens offers a huge 180 degrees field of view. Thanks to the fisheye nature of this lens you can discover a whole new reality. The artistic expression offered by such perspective means your imagination is the only limit. Image Sensor size: APS-C, Focal length: 8mm, Maximum aperture: f/3.5, Filter Diameter: N/A, Angle of view: 180 degrees diagonal, Minimum focus distance: 0.3m, Focus type: Manual, Number of diaphragm blades: 6, Lens construction: 10 elements in 7 groups (1 Aspherical), Dimensions (max): 75x74.8mm
