Pros: One of the funniest circolazione.rnperfetta optics for video absolutely out of the ordinary (I started crawling babies, which looked like giants!) Rnper is what it costs to have a body

Cons: the optical quality is questionable (contrary to the construction quality). rnper have good results should be close to F 5.6 at least. but it is so long buia.rnAF manual does not always comodo.rnsopratutto the inability to close half stop. will immediately switch from 3.5 to 5.6 to 8!

Opinion: Optics really fun to create a special atmosphere, especially in particular contexts. bridges, city center, attractions turistiche.rnrnAL Unlike conventional grand'angoli which to fight the linear deformations end up distorting subjects as close as volti.rnrnqui the opposite happens. the faces are proportional, while walls and ceilings sag .... rnrnalcuni corners of my funniest videos are shot with this lente.rnSe it is true that the optical quality is not excellent, it is also true that the photos you do with a fisheye are just creative experiments, fantasy games. where you can see everything but the aberration. rnrnma just look at the gallery below ... rnrnUn greeting

Pros: light, 8 mm, good build quality

Cons: little sharpness, chromatic aberrations and poor outcome with modern canon 18 megapixel sensors.

Opinion: reading the positive reviews on this perspective, I drew and testing it .. I bought it I noticed how construction is pretty accurate and strong .. but the optical quality live elsewhere .. this light shows through and through quality Optical mediocre, only with much improved post produzione.nelle SLR sensors now with very dense (550d, 650D, 7D) consiglio.e I do not come from a tokina 10-17 (pretty good). clearly I launched the sigma 10 f 2.8 fisheye.anche if it has the angle of view of canon 167 °, the difference in sharpness is embarrassing (there is also a big difference in price.) but I just can not say that the Samyang is clear ..

Pros: Build quality, price, good image quality, weight.

Cons: Lack exif data.

Opinion: I have this lens for a year now, and it's hard for me to leave the house when I leave. Allows photos very creative, has an extremely low weight and optimal image quality at f 5.6. I do not think that the mode focusing is accurate, looking at the live view known (at least in my case) the focus to infinity by placing the ring in the middle (0.7m), but I do not think this needed to focus an autofocus. Apart from that I brought this lens everywhere, great for landscapes and night shots. I do not think you can find better in that price range, I found it used at € 200 and it was a good buy.

Pros: Build quality, resistance to flare, sharpness, image quality and performance.

Cons: lack of AF but is not a true against

Opinion: Vote of 10/10. Great value! If I think of the cost of other lenses I find this lens even more exceptional. Great color rendering, excellent resistance to flare, clear and "sharp". RnOvvio that small defects are found but there is no lens is 250 euro perfetta.rnSi new and even below 200 euro used ... what you want? It makes no sense to spend 1000 euro for a fisheye Canon.rnQualità constructive another neo ottima.rnrnUnico, so to speak, the lack of AF and a ring to focus not so intuitive that goes relazionatarncon the dial aperture.rn

Pros: Price, 8mm, optical performance, construction

Cons: Nothing

Opinion: One of my favorite lenses. His 8mm give the possibility to make very creative shots, great landscapes and astronomical photos. And 'perspective born to Aps-c, but I have used it with great satisfaction at Full Frame, obviously cutting out a bit. Great is the construction of the lens that the light output, especially considering the price and considering how much they cost Fisheye others on the market. The focus is manual, but 8mm is not a big problem. In short perspective a must have, especially if you love me as of particular photos.

Pros: Economic, excellent construction (all metal), focus ring smooth, well balanced and no play, excellent optical quality, both in relation to the price both in absolute terms. Distortion more pleasant and less extreme than other fisheye lenses, especially in the corners. Excellent resistance to flare and ghost.

Cons: At full aperture is a bit 'soft, especially at the corners and has some chromatic aberration. Closing a bit 'definition achieves excellent levels and AC are reduced. The version without chip does not allow the operation of the exposure of some reflex nikon. The aperture ring has openings widely spaced (click to 1 stop) and you pass f/3.5 to f/5.6. There is no minimum f/4.rnDistanza focus quite high: 30 cm from the floor sensor and well 15 cm (approximately) from the lens front ... a little 'Tantini counting that other fish focheggiano to 1-3 cm from the front.

Opinion: Good fisheye lens for a very low price, on second is 200 € without any problem and you sell at the same price. Great if you want to try shooting with this kind of lens without svenarsi.rnLa peculiar projection (only as far as I know) makes the distortion very pleasant and not so extreme, while maintaining the angle of view of 180 °. RNLA version chip (especially useful to nikonisti like me) it costs a lot more than the "smooth", but with a minimum amount of manual hand you can add the chip (23 € cost) and use it like any other lens with electronic contacts, complete with exif completametne meter running, adjustable diaphragm third parties to stop all modes, etc. ecc.rnLa minimum focusing can lead to 3-4 cm from the front lens by simply removing a screw blocco.rnrnSe you are looking for a fisheye for aps, you can not consider this little gem.

Pros: In relation to its price, very low, very good mechanical construction and very good optical quality: superb color rendition, sharpness and micro-though not stellar, definitely excellent, but above all, really unexpected. rn

Cons: Lack of transfer of the data to the reflex opening diaphragm.

Opinion: I was amazed by its yield, color, sharpness and contrast, even with the sun at the edge of the frame. Definitely, a good price, a lens impossible to overcome. All this, coming from an amateur photographer who has used and still uses (possibly) aims C. Zeiss T * glass of comparison for all other brands. Definitely a Samyang 8mm f3.5 great surprise, that I consider still an outstanding goal. Highly recommended for anyone who loves capturing, interpreting, the great outdoors. RNIN more, with the necessary special attentions, is able to "imitate" excellently an ultra-wide angle, overcoming, for amplitude of the angle of field.

Pros: Price, build quality, color rendition.

Cons: Diaphragm adjustable only by 'objective. (Perhaps the real downside and do not know after a long time in which the aperture is the photo was taken)

Opinion: Those who enter for the first time in world fish-eye and wants to satisfy the hunger of this particular photo is the 'right target. Relationship quality price unapproachable. Color rendering and very good details. Excellent backlit, with precautions' s manual. There 'is the' autofocus but if you miss it. On my Canon 60d c 'is communication with the' exposure although two to three stops of difference, just get the 'habit ... L 'only real annoyance is the' night use with live view, you must set high iso to view the scene and frame (at least I use this trick) and then set the right parameters and make the photo ... A good exercise to find the right exposure without the 'help Dell' electronics, as an objective 'past. So in the final great for photo details and to great effect, but by controlling the distortion has proved a very good lens, making diminish the desire of the Sigma 8-16. Highly recommended.

Pros: very low price, build quality, original effect, good image quality

Cons: although I'm not really a problem, lack of autofocus, aperture control by the lens hood and fixed

Opinion: Goal from the low cost but good quality of the image and the effect very funny and original, the viewing angle EDI nearly 180 °. High quality construction, the body is metal, the autofocus does not work but it is not a problem as the greatest depth of field, bringing the lens of infinity / hyperfocal you always get everything in focus from about 50-60 cm, also aperture is set manually by the lens but this is not a big problem. I think the resolution is good, you just have to be careful with reflections especially in the light. This tipipologia lenses even if you do not use every day in my opinion are very fun to use and develop the imagination, are satisfied with the purchase. If it cost 3 times as much as the original Canon I would never have bought a fisheye.

Pros: build quality, light output and above unbeatable

Cons: Hardly anyone especially if related to the price ... if you want to be picky ... but lacks the autofocus optics gods of this focal length he hears little lack and it is a bit "soft" full aperture

Opinion: This objective, which I bought after reading praises on various forums, has satisfied my craving for a fish-eye wide angle for "creative" photo and a bit 'crazy that I had some time ... unfortunately until now the Fish- eye cost a bang ... with this Korean company is fortunately no longer the case. The aim, born to the APS-C, presents well with a solid, all-metal apart from the integrated petal hood construction is plastic. The sliding of the rings is fluid, especially that of the focus that is completely manual. I use it only with manual exposure, working in hyperfocal ... with F8 aperture and fire set from 2 to 3 meters I focus almost everything ... The coverage is superb, especially considering the cost of the lens ... it should be realistically used sparingly because you risk falling into banality and become boring, but for some artistic shots and first special plans is phenomenal.
