The 8mm f/3.5 Fisheye Lens with Removable Hood from Samyang gives you a 167º view with dramatic, exaggerated perspective when used with an APS-C camera, or a powerful circular image floating in the frame when used with a full frame digital camera or 35mm film camera. With hybrid aspherical elements and multi-layer coating, you will produce sharply defined images with a minimum of flare and ghosting. The 8mm lens focuses as close as 12" (30.48 cm) from the lens. This version of the 8mm f/3.8 Fisheye lens comes with a removable lens hood that will offer glare reduction and lens protection, but can be removed to offer an increased and unobstructed angle of view when shooting with full frame digital or 35mm cameras.
Note: Produces a circular, vignette image on full-frame sensors or 35mm film

Good product. You have to know how to use it in manual mode - creative photos

So far, very impressed with the lens. I'm using it on an APS-C format camera - Canon 80D, so the 'fisheye' aspect is less pronounced than you'll get with a full frame. It's still a great addition to my lens collection, and with a bit of cropping is superb for wide panoramic shots. It also works very nicely for long exposure shots at night. I can see me making a lot of use of this when I can get to travel a bit further afield.

Great product for a great price and quick delivery but the manual focusing is very hard and not sharp.
A
The lens is a manual lens, so exposure metering is VERY hard because the lens is so wide, but if you can get your head around that it is a very good lens
M
Good for the price. But compromises a bit on the sharpness of the lens.Also keep in mind that it's a manual lens.
