Re: Walk around lens

Hi,

The Samyang 8mm is in fact a stereographic projection lens which gives slightly less distortion than true fisheye (see lenstip.com review) it also couples to give aperture control from the body (there is one contact on the bayonet on the pentax models) and is sharp in the center from F3.5 but needs to be stopped down to F8-11 to get sharp edges and corners. Good metal construction,in short a bargain!
--P.S. Sensational flare resistance even against the sun.
