I liked the Samyang Fisheye

I liked the Samyang Fisheye, the feel and also the performance of this particular lens is top notch, initially I didn't know how to get the most out of it but now I can make the best of it

Pros
  • The lens is made up of hybrid aspherical lenses
Cons
  • Almost never

Human fish eye

This is a great lens, especially for the money. You could pay a lot more and get a technically superior lens, but who cares about sharp edges with fisheye distortion? Color is good, center sharpness is very acceptable and overall it works pretty well when using fisheye.

Pros
  • The lens has a built in flower shade
Cons
  • Tint

Fantastic lens

This is a fantastically small lens. Yes, there's nothing automatic, but Fisheye allowed me to set it and forget it, and it was very easy. For the price I got more than I expected and it takes amazingly clear pictures. It's also metal, and just by holding it in your hands you can tell it's a solid lens that won't bother you. As soon as I took it out of the box I drove a bit out of town and took this long exposure of the night sky and the only problem with this shot is the light pollution because

Pros
  • The lens has Ultra Multi-Coating to reduce flare
Cons
  • Some cons

Good but not great.

This lens fits both Canon EOS bodies, EF-S mount and EF mount. Photos look good! The main disadvantage of this lens is that you can see the lens hood in your photos, I use an EOS 1 Mark 4 and the lens hood is fixed. The lens is metal, which is nice, but the lens hood is visible in the corners of the photo. I was tempted to sand it down with an air powered sanding disc, but that's a big risk. very neat work. Bottom line, this lens would be better if it didn't come with a lens hood. The lens is…

Pros
  • The lens has a minimum focusing distance of 12 inches.
Cons
  • A lot.
