My other ultra WA is Nikon's 14mm AF-D F 2.8. I wanted to go 180 degrees and decided to get this Samyang. No disappointment optically and mechanically, especially considering the price.
this is the third Samyang/Rokinon lens i have purchased. i have the 8mm f/3.5 Fisheye for my Nikon D90 (converted to IR), the 14mm f/2.8 for the Nikon D750 - though it works for the D90 too (no infrared hot-spot). this lens is for the D750 and what a joy it is to use.
Got mainly for capturing the night sky in wide field.. Worked great capturing meteors during the Perseid meteor shower this week. Great price during Amazon Prime Day, although it took a few weeks to ship. But worth the wait.
good value for the money
sharpness in center spectacular angle of view price build quality
corner sharpness rather pronounced vignetting no lens data in exif manual focus is not really a con for this Ultrawide use of filter is not possible
For the price this is an amazing fish eye lens - optically good wide open, superb stopped down. The depth of field at f12 is incredible.
Consistent Output; Durable; Strong Construction
Difficult to Clean; Heavy
This lens is very compact and fit perfectly on my Nikon. I appreciate the included depth-of-field scale. The construction is very good and matches any third party lens I've used. I like the images that can be converted into ultra wide angle look-a-likes with appropriate software.
This 12mm fisheye lens provides a diagonal field of view of 180 degrees on a full-frame DSLR, sports a f/2.8 maximum aperture and the AE version we are reviewing here is available for around £390 for Nikon cameras.
Outstanding sharpness in the centre when stopped down; Good build quality; Inexpensive; Stereographic projection; Useful hyperfocal scale
Removable hood could be attached more securely
The Samyang 12mm F2.8 ED AS NC Fish-eye ($599) is one of the widest lenses you'll find that works with a full-frame camera , but despite this fact - as well as its f/2.8 aperture - it's quite light and compact.
Full-frame coverage; Wide aperture; Compact; Ultra-wide field of view; Close focus capability; Available for multiple camera systems
Fish-eye look isn't for everyone; Manual focus only
