Re: Yes on the Samyang 7.5mm FE

I have become a great fan of using fisheye lenses for ultrawide, especially the small Samyang/Rokinon 7.5mm manual that can be had for really a small price. I traveled with my Rokinon 7.5mm for a couple of years before opting for the Oly 8mm Pro.

Some from the Rokinon.....

Thanks.

Very nice photos. I could not tell they were shot with a fisheye.

I use an iPad with Photo or Snapseed to edit photos if needed.   JPEG shooter.  Strictly an enthusiast family/vacation snapper.

When using the Samyang/Rikinon is it entirely manual? Set exposure using aperture, and shutter speed?

Leave on infinity focus, use exact focus, or use hyperfocal distance scale method?

Is there easy software to make the images rectilinear? if I may ask, what software did you use or recommend  to make the horizon straight?

Thanks.
