Samyang 8mm f/3.5 Aspherical IF MC Fish-Eye

The Samyang 8mm f/3.5 CS Fisheye is a more than welcome addition to this market segment. The near-stereographic projection doesn't look quite as extreme as in conventional fisheye lenses despite the similar field-of-view so its applications are in fact...

Good build quality ; The use of difficult in making but good for photos stereographic projection ; Excellent image quality in the center of the frame ; Very good side-of-the-frame image quality ; Relatively well-controlled coma ; Insignificant...

Significant chromatic aberration around maximum aperture ; It is impossible to use filters

dobra jakość wykonania ; zastosowanie trudnego w wykonaniu lecz dobrego dla zdjęć odwzorowaniastereograficznego ; świetna jakość obrazu w centrum kadru ; bardzo dobra jakość obrazu na brzegu kadru ; stosunkowo dobrze korygowana koma ; niewielki...

spora aberracja chromatyczna w okolicach maksymalnego otworu ; brak możliwości stosowania filtrów

Ridiculously good value. Solid build. Manual aperture and focus saves money, but doesn't compromise usability due to the vast depth of field. Pin sharp from corner to corner at f/5.6 and contrast is amazing. The distortion is more natural than other...

Lateral CA is high, but can be corrected. APS-C only, but that reduces costs

Colour rendition, flare resistance, fisheye distortion is always fun, AE version gets correct exposure and you can forget the aperture ring entirely

Not so sharp on 16mpx D7000. Very sharp on 12mpx D300S

Excellent build quality!!! Very good opticsSharpness (even in the corners)180 FOV Fun to useVery cheap

None...ok, maybe an AF version it would be nice, but that means higher price. Anyway, i like the retro feeling of the manual operation, and for this kind of lens, AF is not so important after all
