Hi,

The Samyang 8mm is in fact a stereographic projection lens which gives slightly less distortion than true fish-eye (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!

Dave's clichés

Yes I have the Rokinon version and it is a very fine lens. The f2.8 version for the 4/3rd's and Nex series are supposed to be even better.
