Pros: Amazing angle of view, Ultra ultra wide, sharp, compact, build, 2.8.

Cons: Fully manual lens, no AF confirm, no exif.

Opinion: This is an excellent fish-eye lens! This is one of the widest lenses for full frame in the world, regardless of cost. It produces punchy, contrasty sharp images. Although other fish-eye lenses offer a 180 degree diagonal view, this offers a wider view on the horizontal and vertical axis. Distortion not as pronounced as with canon fish-eye lenses as it uses a different more subtle image projection. The manual focus is really not an issue. When focusing at close distance, you can easily detect the sharp focus by eye. When focusing at medium and far distances, just use the focus scale. Because this lens is so wide, the depth of field is huge, aiding a mis-focused shot quite a lot. An example of this; if shooting at f5.6 at 12mm on FF, the image will be sharp from 0.4433m to infinity. The lens focuses to 0.2m. So basically everything will be in focus. The mechanical construction is quite good and resembles the Samyang 8mm lens. All in all a great product, which is significantly cheaper than alternatives.

Pros: Well made, light and compact, appears solid, price

Cons: the lack of AF

Opinion: I was looking for a Wide Angle/Fisheye without breaking the bank and having a good quality in the final image. I bought this lens very compact in size and light, however it appears solid and well made with a front lens that protrudes a lot. Manual use is not very intuitive, although the distance scale on the barrel helps a lot, in short, you have to get used to it a little, nothing impossible although some out-of-focus shots happen. The angle shot is very wide and in the frame you have to pay attention to your feet which are easy to include in the margin without realizing it. Used wide open it is not very sharp, an aspect that improves enormously as you close the aperture, from f8 it is excellent. It allows very creative shooting by exploiting the distortion typical of this type of lens by putting it off-axis with respect to the horizontal plane. Acceptable flare and slightly dull color rendering. I would say that I am fully satisfied with the amount spent.

Pros: Not extreme fisheye, angle of view, bright, fluid rings, cost

Cons: It is not stabilized, not filterable

Opinion: This lens is two-faced: since it is a diagonal fisheye it does not have the characteristic porthole image but covers the entire frame. The distortion is very low, although the angle is always 180°. So if you keep it in bubble it behaves almost like a straight super wide angle, if you tilt it the magic of the fisheye is born. It is quite sharp, perhaps a little less than the 8-15 L Canon that resists even better to backlight (hooray, it costs 3-4 times more). It has no autofocus but the dials are very fluid. It has no stabilizer. You must be careful not to take back the feet, fingers or paws of the tripod. Being 12mm f/2.8 it is very valid for shooting stars in very wide field. Dimensions and weight are minimal, the hood is a bit uncomfortable but must protect the non-filterable bulb lens. It can be the extreme completion of those who already have a super wide angle like a 16mm or those who have an all-rounder zoom like a 24-xxx. At the price it has today, especially in used, it is extremely recommended.

Pros: Sharpness, no vignetting, low weight and minimum size

Cons: for that amount ... no cons

Opinion: I have this lens for a few weeks, taken with native Sony attack, I am using it on an A7Riii, the automatisms are missing, but in manual focus Sony helps a lot with red tracking. From his best in architectural shots, I was surprised by his really precise angle of view to the outer limit. It is a very bright lens and this helps. I reserve the right to add something about how she works outdoors, but to date I am fully satisfied. The price ... last but not least it is relatively low and allows you to take off the whim of having a 12mm that perhaps is not an "indispensable" lens.

Pros: Many qualities:price quality of used materials, excellent night sharpness.

Cons: Very but very cumbersome, it is not so easy to manage it

Opinion: I would like to say that my opinion is the result of the use of a couple of hours and at night. The quality of the files at night is very good. The materials used give that feeling of a lens of excellent workmanship. I find it very but very cumbersome, used with Canon 6D the results are amazing, but it is not easy to manage it. As far as I am concerned, I am very satisfied. Vote8.
