I can appreciate that the fisheyes aren’t the best for architecture.

I sold my Rokinon in favor of the Olympus 8mm f/1.8 Pro FE/Rectilinear. If used on an Olympus body that does the in-Camera conversion you get either a 5.5mm. 7mm or 9mm non fisheye image. Works wonderfully for architecture, cathedrals and museums...and it is really small. The only drawback is it is kind of pricey at about $900.

Straight Fisheye

In camera converted to 5.5 Rectilinear

Another at 5.5mm

I wasn't aware you can do in camera conversions with the 8mm Pro FE, missed this somehow.

Do you get a rectilinear RAW file as well?
