great review, thanks
Examples of the lens in action starts at 5:06 You're welcome
what is the field of view of this lens on crop sensor? based on the specifications it should be 167 degree, but on your pictures its just like 100
You don't need auto focus on a fisheye and you can always stop down to the mid point and use auto ISO to give you a few stops of exposure range for video. If the footage gets grainy, just de-noise it using Neat Image (it works really well)
Good review, but. if you’re about photography/videography on YouTube, you have to step up and have a good video. Your video is so overexposed, it bothers me. Please, for the love of god, set up your exposure properly before shooting.
Once this lens is stopped down to f8-f22, everything within about 10” to infinity will be in focus. At f5.6, it sharpens up a good deal, but there’s still a depth of field concern, but it is nowhere near what happens at f8 and beyond. One basically never has to touch a thing to focus. It’s kind of useless at 3.5, but you can get some cool shots. The sweet spots are f8-f16, and with all that glass, you’ll be in that range most of the time anyway.
thank you for the review! i like it! and since I learn to meter and do the fstops+shuter speed, an all manual lense is ok by me!
If you make a ten minute video about a lens, please shot up and shoot the entire freaking video with that. Instead of talking ten minutes and show three photos.
GREAT review ! Well done !
Hi Darren. I want this lens for 360 Panorama photography. I use a Nikon D7100 body. I shoot everything on manual with all my lenses. I usually mount my camera on a tripod and set my camera on f11, ISO 100, Manual WB and adjust the exposure with the shutter speed. Will I be able to get an exposure reading in the camera without a handheld light meter with this lens?
Good review. i like it and i am going to buy this lens.
Rokinon! I started out, 37 years ago with a Rokinon 80-200 and 28mm prime. Thanks for the review. I just started investigation today into a less than 10mm lens for D750.
Great video! What are your thoughts on the Altura 8mm f/3 vs Rokinon 8mm f/3.5? Very similar price point and a touch faster Altura but wanted your opinion about quality, construct, clarity, etc. Thanks in advance if you can help me! (My goal is fun photography but also attempting Milky Way astrophotography on a tight budget. )
Thank you for sharing this was really helpful
Thanks.
I just ordered this for camera tossing. What am I doing with my life.
Recognize Brickell anywhere
Great review
Hello! Very good video I have an 8mm rokinon. Supposedly it has an autofocus chip . do you have to configure something in the camera? I have a nikon D7100 with focus motor, but I can not make it work. Thanks for any comment from now.
Thank you so much for the review. It seems like an excellent deal to capture those moments when you wished you had a wide lens. I always control my DSLR in manual mode, so this lens would be no issue at all for landscapes.
I wish you had mentioned what were the best settings for taking pictures with this lens. Some say set the aperture to F5 to F11 and set the focus ring to infinity and ISO to Auto. Did you find that the focus on this lens is very minimal or non-existent? Thanks for your response.
Do you know if it's compatible with the ftz adapter?
Question does this work with a Canon EOS 40D?
Your photos are phantasmic
Great review and great philosophy around NEEDED (unneeded) equipment.
sick video, thanks for the tips
Good review Thanks for info as I'm considering a wide angle for my D750.
I tend to get overexposed pictures in situation where its really well light up. Usually need to tune down via EV compensation drastically. Do you encounter that and what's your workaround solution? No doubt it shine superbly in low light environment, simply awesome. Thank you.
If shooting Sony, Clear View Zoom bypasses the need for the full frame lens.
I only use Nikon I bought a fisheye lens. Nikkor
Thanks. I have a friend who is a wedding photographer for Disney in Orlando. Rick Ferro. Do you know him?
Thanks. This was very helpful. I want a wide DOF with this lens. I tested it at F/11 at Infinity and everything was out of focus. I may have gone beyond infinity with my focus ring. The L marking on the focus ring at Infinity confused me. I'm going to try it again at 3 feet and report back to you.
Would this work on a canon t5i ?
Watched your video and very close to getting this lens would u say this is a good choice for the canon 200D if I wanted to use it for filming and shooting skating. I’m guessing I can get nice and close. Good thing is I’m off to Disney land pairs in a week and would be nice to get a fish eye lens for both holiday shoots and filming skating in the future, there are so many lens types and prices and most reviews always seem to stick to saying just positive views about the lens, problem being they were probably sent the lens for free to give a positive review, but good to get a review on someone who has picked it and paid for it and is still happy with it? I’ve looked at so many budget lenses and I’m hoping iv come to the end of my search,
How does it work for a bit of video footage? I am looking to get something for a different view for both video and photo and want to invest in some sort of fish eye for a bit of playfulness in both aspects.
Would you mind sharing your opinion of the Rokinon 8mm f/3.5 vs the Altura 8mm f/3 lens? Price point is about equal but tech specs might pint one way or the other. Thanks in advance!
I just ordered a Olympus M Zuiko 8mm f1.8 fisheye lens for my next Disney trip I’m even more excited after watching this video again.
Awesome video. Would this work on a canon dslr camera?
thank you sir for sharing :) Great information and on subject
Been wanting to get a fisheye for a while now. Maybe I’ll do the Roki 12mm f/2.8. It’s pretty affordable.
I like your video, it's cool! Really appreciate the video footage with the lens, the goats are funny. Thanks so much! I'm going to try out the one with the removable hood. What did you use to shoot the video footage to keep the camera stable? Love the music you use for your video.
What was used to film this? Video is actually insane !
I was really amazed at the quality of this video. Hard to imagine that it was made by someone new to photography. Thanks
Ha! I subscribed just because your pitch at the end was hilariously awkward and left a smile on my face. I like the authenticity and it doesn't hurt that it looks like you're in my neck of the woods. Cheers!
Amazing photos
good overview
Nice thanks for sharing man
Great video! I appreciate all the information!
Your review suck. The lens was sold as an inexpensive fish lens. Bottom line. Instead of spending mode of your time criticizing it, more time could have been used talking about its features.
Really cool review, I saw tons of footage of it in urban scenes but not many in the countryside, it's pretty interesting seeing how it performs. Thanks for the content!
A good review and demo of your fisheye lens. I have never used one. It certainly gives some interesting effects as shown in your demo clips. Thank you for sharing my friend.
Thanks for sharing friends . please take care yourself my friend .
NICE TUTORIAL.i LIKE IT.
I tried the Rokinon version and the image quality was soft and not sharp. The focus didn't seem to work no matter how close I was or far away from the subject. When I took the images into Lightroom, and zoomed into the images, they looked grainy. I guess you get what you pay for. Played with the ISO and aperture settings and didn't seem to help. Tried it in Aperture Priority and Manual and that didn't help on a Canon 90D. The images you took with the Samyang seem sharp but I guess it's hit or miss with the manufacturer of these lens.
in lightroom you can fix the distortion and you have an ultra wide picture without the fish eye effect its ideal if you cant afford the tokina 11 16 or other ultra wide angle you can do some very creative photography with it i remember i took some seminars in photography and the teacher he used to give us these assigmnets and we had one week to bring him the kind of images he wanted one time he gave us an assigment to do some architecture photography.i used my fish eye lens to do some shots, and in the end he rejected my fish eye lens photos and he said why i am using this lens? fish eye is a toy everyone sells it the guy was one of those arrogant snobs in photography unfo my fish eye broke few months later but i am waiting till the easter comes to get another one and rock the boat with this lens lol
Great video! I just bought this and I’m very satisfied. Only thing what I don’t understand is how to focus it. It seems to be almost same result besides what is position of the focus ring
Hi Christopher, great video. Would you say this lens is better than the Sigma 8-16mm f/4.5-5.6 DC HSM? Or not quite as good. I can't decide between the two, I'll be using them on a Canon EOS 760D. If you know of any other super wide lenses that are better than both please let me know
Hello Chris I bought The Samyang 8mm T3.8 UMC Fish Eye CS II (for Cinema). I bought it for still photography not realising I bought the cinema version. The only difference I can see is there are no click stops on the aperture ring. Could you see any problems using this lens for stills? As always a great review.
Enjoy your vids enormously chum. Thanks.
How it works on a mirrorless full frame?
Its same quality with the 8mm cine lens?
Fantastic review as usual - I am stuck between choosing a Samyang 8mm or the Sigma 10mm for a Canon APS-C camera. Predominantly I would like to use it for some Astrophotography (low light) architecture and some landscape - question is is it good enough for low light photography compared to say a Sigma and any difference would it be worth the extra costs - I do have a Tokina 11-20 f2.8 already - any help would be appreciated Thanks Ahmet again love your reviews
I had also bought one Samyang 8 mm f2.8 M for mirroless but it was simply not working on Canon M50. What could be the reason ? I had to return it.
Hi Chris. I bought one and tried to use it on Canon M50 with adapter put but it simply doesn't work . However , it works on DSLRs. Can you please tell me why its on working on mirroless with adapter?
is there a big difference between CS and CS II?
Has anyone info if this lens would be a good choice for 360º photos using a full frame camera?
How do you detach the hood
Will this work with a EF mount to micro four thirds adapter ( I have a viltrox speed booster and would want this for vlogging on my GH4 ) I want to use it on my speed booster for more aperture
good video
can it support to canon d200
Hey! Awesome Review! I switched from my 1300D to a Canon 6D MKII, I noticed as well the spherical image on my FF. If I use the Hood, can I still get a rectangular image as before? or should I sell it and buy more mm for the new ff sensor?
Great video, thank you. Love your book selection!
