Q: 7. Will this work with the sony FS5 with an adapter?

A: Yes, there are MFT to E mount adapters out there (I have one; VERY slim). You'll need to use Clear Zoom to crop into the usable portion of the image, as the lens barely covers an MFT sensor.

Q: 8. Is lens hood removable?

A: No but it can be machined off then it's called a shaved lens.

Q: 9. Does this lens has the usual fisheye heavy barrel distortion or is it rectilineal like the Voigtlnder 12mm?

A: Well, it's an extremely wide angle lens, so yes, it does distort the image and no, it's not rectilinear. That said, the projection is not a pure fisheye ... it's more of a stereographic graphic projection meaning that it has less of a pronounced central bulge to the image and things look a bit more natural. For a pretty good discussion of the lens and the projection, check out the review from a site called admiring light . I'm not the author of the review and have no relationship with the site, but found it while researching the lens for myself. There's are reviews of the both the old and new version of the lens. I found it very useful when I was considering my own purchase ... and BTW ... I love the lens. :) Definitely a special use item, but a lot of fun to shoot with. And very well built.

Q: 10. I assume this is a 180-degree on-the-diagonal fisheye that covers the entire APS-C rectangle? I guess it must be with the built-in petal-type lens hood.

A: Yes, the Samyang 8mm f/2.8 covers the entire sensor and provides a 12mm focal length and full 180 degree angle of view.
