It is a sharp lens less than 300 dollars you can get on the market. I love it.

Bought this lens for my Canon M3. The quality of the images is good in most cases. Focus adjustment ring is tight. Difficult to focus without a tripod for stability. M3 pixel peeking feature not very useful as it shows subject in focus for three quarters of the focus range. Images very small on screen so 10x magnification is required. Minimum focusing distance s 30cm. Fisheye image is pronounced. F/2.8 apature provides noticable background bokeh that isn't that impressive. Not recommended for handheld use.

The Samyang Series II 8mm F2.8 Fisheye Lens for Canon EF-M Mount is a prime fisheye lens specifically designed for APS-C sized image sensors. Providing a 35mm-equivalent focal length of 12.8mm and full 180 degrees angle of view, this lens is well-suited for creative applications as well as interior and architectural subjects. Its fast f/2.8 maximum aperture is further beneficial to working in low-light conditions.
Three extra-low dispersion elements and two aspherical elements have been incorporated into the optical design to minimize chromatic aberrations and distortion in order to produce sharper images. Additionally, the lens' design features a built-in lens hood and a UMC coating has been applied to the lens elements to reduce surface reflections and prevent lens flare and ghosting for improved light transmission and more contrast-rich imagery.
