Samyang 8mm vs Samsung 10mm Fisheyes
5

The new Samyang 8mm f/2.8 Fisheye Version II (only get version II unless you only use it on old 14.6 MP sensor or really like Corner Fix, because older version 1 is terrible for purple cast in the corners). Easy way to identify is size of rear element. If it has pea sized rear element it is version 1, or quarter sized (22 mm) rear element it is version 2.

This is a quick comparison, just showing a few differences in image quality side by side.

Samsung is great for small size, close focus, and flare, and Samyang for outright image quality.
