Samyang 8mm Ultra Wide Angle f/3.5 Fisheye, Manual Focus Lens for Nikon with Focus Confirm Chip

I love this lens. It produces sharper images than I expected for a f/3.5. I normally don't buy anything above f/2.8. I use live view on my Canon 60D to get precise focus and I have taken some nice shots and gotten good feedback from others on the photos. It is quite a bargain and I can't wait to do some shooting with it on my video camera.

I use this lens on a Nikon D90 and a D7100. It is sharp sharp sharp!!! This is not an autofocus lens so just set the lens focus at 3' and leave it there. That ensures you get from very close all the way to infinity. If you're using a Nikon ...get the Samyang with the auto chip. I have mine set at f8 and it works perfectly.

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. Set your camera on A (Aperture setting) and go into the Menu to allow the camera to operate as if there was no lens attached. And take awesome photos. I ignored the instructions that came with the lens; as I was intructed to do in some of the blogs. I use mine with a Sony a55 and a77. And don't forget to re-change your camera settings when you go back to regular lenses.
