[FUJIFILM X] The peculiar nature of fisheye offers the photographer outstanding opportunity to show nature, landscapes and the ordinary into the far reaches of creative potential. Guys this lens is riotous fun!

[180°] I got this to round out the lenses I needed to go with my new Fuji X-T1 system. I already had the Canon 15mm fisheye, but like many others, have decided to move from my Canon 5D MK3 system and my Nikon D800 system, in favor of the smaller Fuji X series. I made this decision after testing the X100S and seeing how wonderful the digital files were .... as good or better than my MK3 and almost as good as my D800 files. Anyways, this new 8mm fisheye is very sharp. Again, maybe a bit soft at the edges wide open, but I have mine basically set to about 1 meter and F8, for my architectural photography, and never have to really focus! It is very compact ... actually smaller than the Fujinon 18-55. A great lens at an even better price. Doesn't really need to be AF.

[APS-C] First in Spanish then I try to translate. Por su precio es un lente excelente para la linea NEX o Alpha. Lo compr para una Sony NEX-5T y lo us recientemente en mis vacaciones. Es muy compacto y muy luminoso, podra quedar permanentemente en la cmara si no fuese por el clsico efecto barril del ojo de pez. Tuve la oportunidad de compararlo con un Rokinon 14mm T3.1 la versin de cine. y las diferencias en tamao son abismales, y en luz con el diafragma abierto a tope tambin, es muy superior en cantidad de luz el 8mm 2.8 Muchos se quejan que el anillo de foco es duro, y lo es, pero el foco no es algo tan quirrigico en un lente tan angular como este, por lo que no hay necesidad de manipularlo constantemente. Me impresion lo simple que es tomar fotos de larga exposicin en total oscuridad y lo detalladas que salen, incluso con el diafragma completamente abierto. I buy this lens to go on a vacation trip with my Sony NEX-5T recently, for this price it's an excellent lens. It's very compact and fast, could stay forever on the camera if the barrel effect of a Fisheye don't bother you. I could compare it with the Rokinon Cine 14mm T3.1, besides the photo quality differences, the physic size difference it's huge, and a full open it was very good the Samyang 8mm 2.8 over the Rokinon. Some reviewers complain on the Focus Ring, and it's true, it's hard to move it. But in wide shoots there's no need to move the focus control every time. I was amazed by long exposure photos with this lens, it's easy to take and get Sharp results, even wide open.

[FUJIFILM X] I used the lens for ultra wide artistic shots. Perfect with my a6300. Very cheap, but the built quality is very high. However, it is heavier than I expected. Images are really sharp if you don't forget to focus manually. I love the small size and the lens hood is perfect. Even though I already own a 10-18 f4, I will not let go of this beautiful lens.

[180°] First: delivery was super fast and free, duties was not expensive (no extra cost, all calculated by B&H no supprises) thumbs up to B&H. The Lens is simply fantastic, very very clear, remember that this lens is all manual.

[f/22] Love this lens. Possibilities r endless.

[180°] Very interesting lens, easy to use. It allows to get a unique perspective on subjects. When used horizontally on landscapes, it is like a ultra-wide angle lens. Different styles are possible to get with it. Very sharp lens. Very good feeling in hand.

[0.95 lb] best fisheye lens for sony e-mount on the market.

[APS-C] Upon receiving, I immediately attached it to my Canon EOS M3 and started firing away. The build quality is fantastic and doesn't seem cheap at all. Focusing ring is firm and smooth and no freeplay. Not only aperture ring has detents in the main apertures from f2.8 to f16, there are half-stops in between these ranges. From f16 to f22 it is only a single stop. The lens is sharp even when wide open, and gets sharper when stopped down. As it is a manual focus lens, by default the shutter will not release so navigate to custom functions in the camera menu to enable shutter release without lens. An excellent fisheye lens from Samyang!

[f/2.8] This is a great lens! It is sharp and has a good feel, small size, not too heavy.
