Samyang 8mm Fisheye F/3.5 IF MC

[Pietá]

Hello!

So, since the lens sample archive seemed to only have the 8mm Peleng and Sigma fisheyes, here goes a topic for the one I have, the Samyang 8mm Fisheye. It´s sold under different names as well, Rokinon, Vivitar, Polar, Bower, Pro-Optic, Opteka and maybe even more, but they´re all the same and Samyang is the manufacturer.

Here goes my first contribute for the samples. Taken with a 40D. Notice that it handles flare pretty good.

I´ll post some better ones as soon as I have time. I haven´t used this lens much yet, have to give it some workout.

how is it for metering with no electric contacts?

There actually is a thread, it's just combined with the other branded makes of the same lens:
search for: Samyang/Rokinon 8 mm f/3.5 Aspherical IF MC Fish-eye (not sure how to link threads here)

I'd love to see some more examples as well, not a whole ton of fisheyes around here I guess. I'm impressed with that sun flare in the second shot, thought it would have come out worse

Ive always wanted to try a fish eye.
