Samyang 8mm F/3.5 Fisheye CS (AE) Lens – 48
This Samyang lens and I didn't get off to a good start for the simple fact it was fiddly to mount. There is no magic dot on the lens barrel to match with the camera body for easy mounting and once it was correctly aligned it was stiff to attach and because of its positioning, hard not to...
Pros:
- Good images
- Good aperture range
- Likeable weight and size
Cons:
- Not smooth to mount
- obstructive aperture ring
- Aperture ring obscured by built-in camera flash

Had some concerns about Manual Focus. Read some blogs on the lens. VERY impressed with how easy it is to use. 4 steps --- Set the lens on f=8.; and set the focus on infinity. And everything beyond one foot from the lens is in perfect focus.

Samyang 8mm f/3.5 UMC Fish-eye CS II
Samyang's 8mm f/3.5 UMC Fish-eye CS II is a manual focus wide-angle fisheye lens. The CS version is designed primarily for DSLR cameras with APS-C sensors. This review looks at the second-generation lens, which has a removable lens hood.

Samyang 8mm f/3.5 UMC Fish-eye CS II Lens Review
This 8mm fisheye lens provides a diagonal field of view of 180 degrees on a 1.5x crop APS-C DSLR, sports f/3.5 maximum aperture and the AE version we are reviewing here is available for around ￡250 for Nikon cameras with an APS-C size sensor.
Pros:
- Outstanding sharpness in the centre when stopped down
- Good build quality
- Removable hood
- Inexpensive
- Stereographic projection
Cons:
- Slightly better performance at maximum aperture would've made this a great lens
- rather than a very good one

It's for a 4/3 not an M4/3 camera!
Had to return it as I hadn't realized there is no version for a M4/3 camera.
