Re: Samyang 8mm Fisheye Version 1

I have two of them. I bid on a used one on Ebay and at the same time found a brand new one for €80. Won the auction on the used one for €43. Will be putting the used one back on Ebay when I travel back to Germany.

Never used the Samsung 10mm, I like the fact that it has autofocus and is super small but the extra width of the Samyang appealed to me. It's still a very small lens and since I pretty much only use it for landscapes, I keep manual focus on infinity. The lens is tack sharp, I can't imagine the 10mm or the Samyang 8mm version II to be that much better, but I haven't tried those two.
