rokinanan 8mm fisheye

[minitrucker]

I could be a little off on that spelling but I can't provide a link cuz I found it on my amozon app on my phone. I found said lens for ~265USD with free shipping! My questions are

*too good to be true?

*worth it? I've personally never heard of this lens maker

*it doesn't "for digital" it jus says for canon, so is it good to go on my film rebel?

Id love to have a fisheye and this is the cheapest I've ever seen one. Thanks for any opinions and recommendations

If you google it, you'll find you can get one for cheaper than that...

Here's some samples:

I jus realized I posted this in the lens sample thread by accident. My fingers are too big for my phone screen sometimes :P if a mod comes across this thread could you move it for me please!

Thanks for the advice and the link with the pics. Look good enough to me :)

I would love one for <$265. Where do you see such prices at?

[Bheims]

I bought mine off of amazon. $270 + free shipping, its a really fun lens

Buy this lens, for $265 you will not be disappointed.

Yeah, for the price this lens seems to be a great specialty/novelty lens. I couldn't justify paying for a more expensive fisheye, like a Tokina or Sigma, for that reason. Just waiting for the right price to snatch one of these 8mm fisheyes up. Prices seem pretty consistent at $289 everywhere online currently :(
