There is a 7.5mm but that is for the 4/3 sensor, not APS-C, good for olympus, bad for Samsung and Sony.  I am talking about the 8mm f/2.8, looks almost the same as the 7.5mm.  I am guessing you thought there were only 2 lenses but there are 3.

Yes, the sunset photo was half a second shutter hand held, and it was cold out.

Wrong.

There exists 7.5mm/3.5, very small for MFT.

The "big" 8mm/3.5 fits ALL cameras (one lens + cheap adapters), small 8mm/2.8 version ONLY Samsung OR Sony.

With 8mm/2.8 you get problems with Sony, with 8mm/3.5 you get NO problems with Sony.

Samyang 8mm/3.5 and Samyang 7.5mm/3.5
