Samyang 8mm T3.8 Asph IF MC Fisheye Review

 

Gary Wolstenholm reviews the Samyang 8mm T3.8 Asph IF MC fisheye, a lens tailored for video recording.

Excellent sharpness in the centre when stopped down; Good build quality; Stepless aperture is an excellent feature for those recording video; Inexpensive; Stereographic projection

Geared focusing and aperture rings can be a little uncomfortable

I would def recommend this product

 

Great dof with the fisheye. Lovely colour and easy to use. The F stop is controlled on the lens and is manual focus but I set mine to infinity and have had great results.

Fantastic little lens for a great price!

 

This is a great little lens, the low price is a bonus! It's manual focus but so much fun to use. The aperture is manual only and a little soft at f/3.5, and not the best at f/22 either, but from f/5.6 to f/16, f/8 being the best, it produces very sharp...
