Great lens, great price
Not an everyday lens for sure, but great for special effects or virtual tours. Lens is very sharp, easy to use, great fun and the price is very reasonable.

You must own this lens. It's that simple.
I bought this a few months ago and it has proven to be stellar. The reasons I'd give are both numerous and varied so here goes... 1) It is small. I've owned other fisheyes including a Samyang made for Sony APSC and this is less than half that size.

Samyang 7.5mm f/3.5 Fisheye (MFT) - Review / Lens Test
Samyang lenses typically don't feature any electronics so while you will be able to mount this fisheye lens without an adapter you'll have to live without AF, a camera-controlled aperture and EXIF data.

I love this lens. It's hardly come off the camera since I bought it. A lot of the shots that I've taken were only possible with this lens, or with another extortionately priced offering of the same spec.
Pros:
- Size
- weight
- optical quality
- grin factor when you see the results
Cons:
- For the money
- none

Samyang Fisheye Lens
I've used this lens with the Lumix GH4 and GX1 - mostly in movie mode. It suits my purpose very well indeed. Some nice bokeh effects are possible when used at close range. I also find it useful to have the EX TELE CONV option set in one of the custom slots which has the effect of switching from wide...
Pros:
- Great Features
- Great Picture Quality
- Simple Controls
Cons:
- Scale Markings

Fun, capable, manual control
I'm very happy with this lens. (My first fisheye - micro four thirds mount.) Solid, inexpensive, and tiny. I find it complements my Olympus M.Zuiko 9-18mm quite well. De-fished, it can approximate a field of view well under 7mm, maybe even 5mm.

A niche lens that can be a lot of fun...
The Samyang 7.5 Fisheye is of course a niche product, with (intended) barrel distortion and exaggerated perspective that can be weird, but used tactfully and with awareness of what the lens can and can't do, you can get some interesting perspectives....

Good product - but not for me.
This is a good lens and fits well to my Panasonic GH5, but I just didn't get on with the field of view, so returned it. The build was good quality, as was the operation of the aperture and focus rings, so I'd recommend it to someone that wanted a 15mm 35 full frame equivalent lens.
