Focus nn need put at 1.5 meters and close the diaphragm. Also used for night photos and it's very good. FLARE you but nn so exaggerated even with the sun on the side nn and exaggerated Cmq I consider it a valuable lens rated 10 |
 | sent on November 02, 2018 Pros: Excellent contrast between f 8-11, light, fun Cons: Ideal for use at F 8-11. Outside of this range the sharpness decreases progressively. Opinion: Very creative and particular. It allows you to see reality from a completely different and fascinating point of view. Ideal for indoor or architectural photos otherwise impossible to achieve in one click. He teaches to dominate the rules of distortion by making the user experience a lot of force. In the long run the effect might tire but for me it still has not come this moment. I always carry it with me and I can almost always find a shot that enhances the effect of this lens. It opened up new photographic horizons for me. |
 | sent on March 30, 2018 Pros: Good value, weight and size content Cons: Imprecise distance scale, building a little rough, mediocre sharpness wide open Opinion: I purchased this light (Pentax-k) for some fun, having found new at a great price. The aim is rather light and compact, bearing in mind that is a fisheye, and you brandeggia well. Manual focus per se is not a problem, given the huge depth of field, but the distance scale is not very precise and the first few times you have to go a bit trial and error before finding the right match between the distance marked on the bezel and the real one. Sharpness wide open isn't bad in the Middle, but the edges leaving a lot to be desired and to get good results you have to close at least at f/8. On my copy there is a strange hint of vignetting in the upper-right corner, it becomes more evident as you close the aperture. Even the graft-disengaging from the camera body is hard. These indices to approximate quality control and rushed. Probably if I'd paid full price I would have already returned, or at least sent in for service. Anyway it is a perspective altogether honest, with which you can have fun making unusual and different from the usual shots, as long as you keep in mind its limitations. Rating 6 |
 | sent on December 06, 2017 Pros: Low cost. Good mechanical construction. Excellent with openings f / 5.6 ef / 8. Very useful for indoor photos. Cons: Made a little disappointing at TA. Opinion: It's a cheap fisheye, but it returns a good image quality, to the point of considering it, without a doubt, an excellent purchase. It's worth what it costs, if you think that to get better, you have to spend a lot, but more, and also, that this type of focal does not take much time, so allocate substantial resources is not always be good and right . It has a good sharp output already at f / 5.6 and behaves well up to f / 11. A TA disappoint a little 'for clarity and CA. In my opinion, the use on Canon APS-C (crop factor 1.6) is the most apt combination with the others, such as Nikon and Pentax, where the distortion is more marked. I do not recommend using it on FF, where you could use it without a hood, even if risky. It is an optic with manual MAF, but this does not have to worry much, because with the ring on infinity, focuses from 0.60 cm to infinity. Great for taking pictures indoors, but not only. rn |
 | sent on September 01, 2017 Pros: F5.6 sharpness, value for money, fun to use. Cons: Very usable at full opening, quality loss to the edges especially with lights at the edge of the frame. Opinion: Taken used as new at 140 €. After two months of use I can only be happy with the purchase, especially considering the price. Fun for both indoor and outdoor use for "extreme" shots. Not suitable for landscapes unless you look for the typical effect of the fisheye. The light sources are on the edge of the frame, but we're talking about an 8mm. The situation improves progressively by closing to f5.6 to f9, which forces you to raise the ISO in low light condition. There is no autofocus, but it does not matter much for such a purpose, and Sony focuses further on this. |
  | sent on January 09, 2017 Pros: value for money, manual lens (which is both valuable and defect), usable without a hood even on FF. Cons: detachable demented hood, unusable to f3.5, generally unclear, poor management of lights (starry resulting in poor), canon total loss of automation and reading exposure, construction not exactly at the top. Opinion: Let's start by saying that is the cheapest fisheye on the market and that is worth all the money it costs, especially finding it used, even if it is impossible to use it at TA, closed the diaphragm becomes acceptable and it is a pleasure to use it, especially indoors, where on canon not reaching 180 ° (167 °) does not distort even too much.rnThe review could end here because for what it costs to rush to buy it, but unfortunately being an economic lens also has some compromises that may bother, but that at the end for what it costs as maybe the first Fish if you can rub: rn-The diaphragm 3.5 is only decorative, the lens at full aperture is very bad and I would say unusable because not only is not clear, but generates halos around edges that are aberrant.rn-Even when the aperture is closed when the quality improves (from f5.6 onwards) the management of direct lights (in terms of stellar or point-like yield) is bad, it gives a starry really ugly to see is. rn-Su canon you lose all the automation and especially the exposure meter because the machine does not know what diaphragm is working, so the use point and shot in street photo is partially compromised.rn-The detachable Paraluce is demented, agree that allows use also on FF, but makes it very fragile being the convex lens directly exposed and just a minimal inattention that the lens splinter compromising its use in critical conditions with direct incident light, but making it still perfectly efficient in many uses (unfortunately my copy has done this end in the hands of a friend ...) rn-the construction of discrete first use with normal use after a while 'shows the economy of the lens, mine took on the barrel-level games, nothing that makes it unusable, but that surely with the years it is destined to worsen.rnrnFinally the ring of the MAF is useless since so much goes in hyperfocal already after 30cm, it would have been more sensible to make it in focus fi yes on infinity, but f2.8 and more; simple optically in such a way as to make it better for TA. |
 | sent on August 15, 2016 Pros: good value for money, crystal clear Cons: The manual focus if we want but it is a optical characteristic that is known at the time of purchase Opinion: As for the exposure only add that being the optical frighteningly wide the reading area of ??the exposure difficult to distinguish the main subject in the foreground and if the edges are dark also enter in the calculation of exposure by making a sort of overexposure. Occorerebbe in these cases use the narrow spot metering to measure the light only where needed. In the landscapes and evenly lit photos you do not have problems. I have a fuji and use it only with great satisfaction that for me is sometimes too broad and account to change it with something less spectacular but more human. |
 | sent on August 15, 2016 Pros: money, fun and creative Cons: Metering my Canon 50d incorrect, but it is completely manual to take into account even before you buy it Opinion: I recently took the Samyang 8mm f / 3.5 UMC Fish-eye CS II and is my first fisheye, I use it for a couple of days and some nice snap I took it out, the only problem was that never azzeccavo l 'exposure and despite by machine exposure resulted correct sometimes burned me the photo and I could not figure it out until discussing it on the forum a user told me that the machine does not read the aperture always calculates that shots at f3.5 ....... doing the test I saw that opening the exposure was correct and more closed and the photo was overexposed. |
 | sent on April 30, 2016 Pros: Sharp from f5,6 and beyond (I haven't checked over f11), easy to focus manually (with the dial of focus on infinity objects are sharp already at 1 m), makes the colors bright, allows you to shoot freehand with little light (suggestive night photos) , wide field of view, offers an original point of view (if you accept the inevitable distortions), excellent HDR photos, ideal for taking photos of interiors such as churches and houses, but also to take large panoramic photos, photos of very close perspectives capture Three-dimensionality. Cons: at f3.5 is virtually unusable: little sharpness and a lot of color smearing. The inevitable perspective distortion of the fisheye may not please everyone. While it is very sharp on photos of very close objects (within 50 cm) you often notice a kind of "nebbioline" on panoramic photos that needs to be corrected in postproduction (perhaps this is a flaw of the Canon EOS7D that has an anti-aliasing filter too strong). Opinion: It's fun and allows you to take home great photos. However, the wide field of view makes it difficult to mediate very bright areas with dark ones. HDR shooting solves the problem, but it's good for static photos, not for moving subjects. Since it doesn't cost much, I recommend it. For proper exposure with the Canon EOS 7DMkII machine it is better to go to the exposure control and in the "Adjustment" function put "ISO". This allows the machine to automatically look for the correct ISO value for standard exposure once the exposure time is empirically chosen. Often it overexposes anyway. The real horizontal visual field angle that I measured with the Canon EOS7D is about 140 degrees. For example, if I approach a wall of a house, when I am 1.8 m away I can take about 5.1 m to the right and 5.1 m to the left, which is still a lot. It is possible that on the diagonal the field angle reaches 180 degrees. |
 | sent on April 25, 2016 Pros: Sharpness, weight, size, light, fish-eye, ratio Q / Prn Cons: for APSC. Opinion: Found used as new, just prior to this model (basically the same except that the lens hood can not be opened) .Favoloso: it is a lens that can not miss in corredo.Nitido scary (especially from 5.6 to 9) light, and after some that use it will open another world in the world ... manual focus? Just as well ... Do you think that using manually all my goals ... for scelta.Voto 10 highly recommended. |
 | sent on February 11, 2016 Pros: good overall sharpness, excellent value for money in used species. Cons: purple fringing fairly marked on some occasions, cap which is not exactly the best Opinion: It 's my first fish eye and I have many comparisons with other lenses of this type, the use of 6 months. I find it a fun and useful lens on many occasions, if you put the horizon the center of frame becomes in practice a fisheye with a high angle. With some devices you can get photos equirectangular 360x180 freehand. Good overall sharpness, manual focus is not a problem, the use of Nikon almost always endlessly to F8 and has everything in focus and sharp, a bit of purple fringing in high contrast and with a lens of this kind is inevitable have high contrast because the angle of field. For those who want a fisheye without fainting I recommend it strongly. |
 | sent on February 06, 2016 Pros: Light, creative, price, price, price, PREEEEEEZZZZZZZZZOOOOOOOOOO !!! Cons: Mah ... we also want to talk about? Opinion: There I for 3 days .... Funny (it's a fish) !!! Personally I would not see a well that least reason for not having given the cost, say, ridiculous! A must to have in ever purse, but to pull out only when it "wants" to have fun or something more daring. I've also used for portraits. Closed 5.6 is an atomic bomb! A 3.5 mah .... Doubtful .... ALL MANUAL! A blast !!! MF 1m and also gets inside the bell tower of Giotto with many details! Personally, since I rate an optical "fun", my vote is 9 out of 10 ... Having a 8-15 AF Canon I find it useless (1000 + € for fun). |
| sent on December 19, 2015 Pros: clarity, usability full-frame Cons: slight haze at room temperature (given by focus shift) Opinion: It works well on SLR and mirrorless FX and DX, AC variable on each sensor, excellent projection fish and sharpness, even at 36+ Mp and 5400 dpi scanning film. Details are small and any use above 200 ISO causes a big erosion of textures with loss of sharpness of the picture. For the same reason are to be avoided pixels large, such as 12 Mp FX.rnOttimo from f / 4.5 or so onward, attention to the MAF, has field curvature toward the infinite within a few degrees from the center. I had to readjust the focus to infinity. |
 | sent on August 26, 2015 Pros: sharpness, quality / price ratio, design possibilities Cons: none, except for a slight drop in performance at full aperture Opinion: I extensively discussed on the forum, the quality of this lens from the cost / performance ratio unmatched! It 'a fisheye, you should be aware of choice and once you add in the kit, you have to tune into it. The risk of using it in a cloying is high, the lens must be tamed in case of specific uses, such as photographs of interiors or architecture. Outdoors it is simpler and can be used without worries as breathtaking ultra wide, if carefully leveled and with well-defined horizons. But it is in other uses, the less responsive, the Samyang gives the greatest satisfaction! once you understand the essence, the creative possibilities are virtually endless and that corner of the field and distortion that never cease to surprise even for a moment, offering insights simply unthinkable until just before you look through the viewfinder. is a manual focus, but this is the least of the problems because the focus, setting fire to 1.5 metrYou and closing the diaphragm of at least a pair of stop, you always have everything in focus. Sharpness literally spectacular, it has a decay sensitive only at full aperture, the decay that, in my example, disappeared since F / 4.5.rnNulla to say, except that the price which it is proposed to date, is a "must have", was if only to remove his whim to see the world as it had never seen before, including their standing in the frame !!! Excellent, no ifs, ands or buts. until recently, his only problem was to cover only the smaller size: now I know that, if I wanted to make the jump, I would find the equivalent for full frame, which promises to be even better than this. and, in any case, if it does not take the spark, it sells easily, wasting very little |
 | sent on August 20, 2015 Pros: Funny, very sharp from 5.6 up, distortion very special, lightweight Cons: Crolla f / 3.5, construction Opinion: Objective fun to use, characterized by a very unusual perspective. I did not think at all that I would have used so tanto.rnDa f / 5.6 up, used with a minimum of precautions, has a sharpness eccezionale.rnCito "construction" as at least in the case of the copy in my possession, on which the ring They are stamped apertures and the notch which indicates the focus bale freely. Exemplary defective, but amen.rnrnCome mentioned by others, the autofocus is used here not really a bat and did not feel the mancanza.rnrnIn final lens performance at or above the more famous fisheye to a minimum price. Must try ... there falls in love as soon as you realize how many allows you to take creative photos. |
 | sent on July 05, 2015 Pros: Build quality, sharpness, color reproduction and quality / price class leading. Cons: Nobody Opinion: Purchased in 2014 to complete my outfit I think that today there is a lens with this price-performance lenses with higher cost, I use it on a Canon 70D and I must say it has a high clarity despite the angle of view (classical clarity from fixed focal) .rnNaturalmente this point should be used carefully and sparingly as being a fish eye puts you in front of the eyes unusual perspectives and the advantage over other fish eye and that is not circular but diagonal, in fact correcting the type of shot you can get views to the horizon very straight but with an angle of view crazy. It 's very fun to use in architecture which will give you very specific shots and uniche.rnParlando of optical performance, the sharpness is at the top and works well from f / 3.5 to f / 11, the pictures in strong outdoor light should underexpose the frame 1 STOP to get the correct exposure, color reproduction is good but well balanced, suffers slightly flare in cotroluce but never so grave that it can not be corrected in PP.rnInsomma if you want a quality lens at prices from basic objective is not to hesitate to buy it with your eyes closed !!! |
 | sent on June 30, 2015 Pros: Excellent construction, sharpness closing at f8 / f11, made colors Cons: Flare (protrudes a lot), the rules of the third and so on. are almost impossible to enforce, you have to be creative Opinion: I've had it a month or so poor and there I took about 200 photos, fun:) !!! What before he was not in the frame now there is going to force !! Really beautiful, well built and I think very faithfully reproduces the colors. Obviously suffers a little 'flare, sticking a lot and is subject to stray light, the lens hood does what it can, of course, is small. Attracts a lot of dust so beware. The stabilizer useless, shooting 1/8 1/6 hand stops smoothly, perhaps beyond but have not tried. Focusing only on Canon manual and without confirmation, who cares no use, it is set to infinity f8 aperture and shooting at anything, to f11 infinity I made a landscape with ears of corn to 40 cm and have come into focus well as those :)! Good for photos with the stars !! rnLo advice, it's really fun, to be used sparingly. rn |
 | sent on May 27, 2015 Pros: excellent value for money Cons: not easy grafting (Nikon D7000) Opinion: After much hesitation and reading reviews, I purchased the goal. I'm excited, it's fun and creative. I use it more than expected. Set the aperture ring to f22, you can adjust the aperture by reflex. The best results you have to f8. As regards the focus, you can be adjusted to infinity or slightly less and is more in focus. Nearly one can forget the focus. I find it a bit cumbersome grafting, when the change in lens should be fast, but maybe up to me. Ultimately definitely recommend this lens to those who want to take pictures very original; barrel distortion is fantastic! |
 | sent on May 26, 2015 Pros: Excellent construction, very crisp Cons: None Opinion: I got this lens a few years ago. At first it was a real surprise, because with this corner of the field, when you look in the viewfinder to enter another world. Someone complains of focus or lack of confirmation ... But 8mm I explained what good !!! ??? rnComunque using it both for landscapes but also for creative photos at weddings. Believe me instead buy Canon 1000 euro, spending only about 300 euro you will have in hand an object really fantastic. |
 | sent on May 25, 2015 Pros: excellent construction good sharpness Cons: nothing Opinion: I bought this lens and I was a bit skeptical, but I had to change my mind because there were many reviews that complained about the lack of 'AF. Now I can tell you that AF does not need anything at all of this in mind, setting the endless drone made you have really good shots and crisp, I'm happy because I managed to purchase even realize truly unique shots in wedding and I must say that when the photo on the album are seen customers remain speechless. |
 | sent on February 12, 2015 Pros: Solid construction, good resistance to flare, very sharp closing diaphragms, low price, good for ultrapanorami and photos different from usual, excellent value for money Cons: Manual focus (but with 8 mm by increasing the aperture is irrelevant), not very bright. Opinion: Using the aim was pleasantly impressed by his sharpness. I personally always use diaphragms with high enough, from 9 up and gives great satisfaction. It also has excellent resistance to flare allowing you to take pictures against the sun with excellent results. I am using it for photo "creative" and views, it is true that distorts a lot but if used in the right context you can get great scatti.rnL'ho used with external flash at a party and photos were very apprezzate.rnInoltre the Build quality is to lens end superiore.rnSecondo me a must have for the price at which you can comprare.rnrn |

Opinion: A great goal, affordable to tutti.rnLa quality is excellent. rnUn lens that requires you to be creative (as almost all the fish eye) .rnL'unica sins are chromatic aberrations in TA but are easily resolved on Camera RAW.rnE 'from completely manual focus setting of diaframmi.rnE 'done for Aps-C but it UO use on FF (of course you will have a picture round) .rnConsigliato for those who want to have fun and experiment with a fish-eye, at a price accessibile.rn |

Cons: Inability to mount filters even if you do not use too soft wide open, "only" f3.5 for night Opinion: goal bought on Amazon at a super price in comparison to its performance! I mount on Canon 600d and I am fully satisfied, never gave problems, is very solid and the ring of maf is perhaps the best I've ever provato.rnGli 8 mm are very few but this is subjective, but I think this will push to find different shots! rnSono very happy with our purchase and highly recommend it to anyone! rnFrancesco |
 | sent on July 26, 2014 Pros: price in relation to the construction and quality, excellent performance already closing down one stop, strength, sharpness valid Cons: lack chip exif data (Canon), noticeable distortion, front lens very "sporcabile" Opinion: Bought purely out of curiosity, given the low price. I thought it was a whim instead use it very much and with enormous satisfaction. With some forethought you can use it in many ambits. There is no autofocus but the AF ring becomes almost useless; Use the aperture between 5.6 and 8 where it best. The sharpness is more than adequate and quite resistant to flare. The hood is removable, according to the manufacturer, for use on FF but I think the effect of "vision-the-hole-of-lock" is really bad .... rn |
 | sent on May 19, 2014 Pros: Sharpness, Price, Construction, Paints, Aberrations Cons: Inability to mount filters Opinion: I bought this lens about a year ago and still I'm still not satisfied. The colors and sharpness are pregievoli and construction is very sturdy. Excellent quality / price. It should be emphasized that no autofocus but at 8 mm is pretty much useless as stabilization. Makes maximum of f / 8. Also add that PP is possible to correct the severe distortion thus making the picture a "super" view. |
 | sent on May 13, 2014 Pros: excellent construction, focus ring smooth, light weight, sharpness, little flare, price Cons: none for now Opinion: I bought this lens a few days. I am extremely happy. Construction excellent.

 | sent on April 29, 2014 Pros: Sharpness, construction, price, colors, effect, mf, aberrations almost inexistent, ap. Bright (though not needed), size Cons: Still not found Opinion: I've been getting this target for a couple of weeks and I just did the usual test to try a new objective on a stand, mounted on a Nikon d3200 and a Nikon d800, on the latter giving beautiful circular pictures that are not vignetted by the hood , In this latest removable version. Very good construction, with hood and lens cover of a quality that is not even found in the professional Nikon line. Color and sharpness superb to all openings in both formats, only flaw in large format slightly increases purple fringing, however resolved in post. Lowest size. Very advisable, also seen the price (paid new 230 euros). ALSO, THAT IN THIS LATEST VERSION IS PRESENT AN ELECTRIC CIRCUIT BREAKING EXPOSITION REQUIREMENTS AND ACQUISITION OF DIFFERENT DATA, Reviews that indicate the lack of the latter are related to previous versions or the Canon model.

Great pictures at f8, a bit soft underneath. The only flaw is the lack of AF even if you own an SLR with internal motor. It manages to keep everything in focus holding the ring around 1.3 or infinite. I recommend to everyone. Excellent lens |

The focus is virtually automatic f 5.6 after being a 8mm. For the price it costs is a real bargain considering that rivals Canon and Sigma are not accessible to all budgets.
