I plan on getting a Tokina 12-24mm f/4 AT-X 124 AF Pro DX Lens at some point, probably before I even move into the fisheye lens realm. Do you guys think I should just go for the 8mm version since the Tokina 12-24mm would already cover the 14mm focal length?

If it's in a few months I'd go for the fish-eye. Personally I hate fisheye's, but it seems you don't. If I were you I'd get either the Samyang 14mm or Tokina before getting the fisheye. As far as the FoV goes: Do you need the zoom? Or do you need the f/2.8 the Samyang offers? I don't know anything of the IQ produced by the tokina... //Tijmen

Well on my list of lenses to get, the Tokina is probably at the top, just because of the zoom and I like the focal range it offers. I suppose the Tokina would be my way to determine where I would go from there - whether I want to go wider with the 8mm or go tighter with the Rokinon 35mm.

I would mostly be looking to shoot portraits and cars. What camera are you shooting on? Personally I find 24mm as the longest end way too short for either cars or portraits - on crop or FF. I think you would be better off with the Rokinon... //Tijmen

I'm currently shooting on a Rebel XT but I'm trying to sell it or trade up to a T3i.
