Dustin Abbott likes it.

He also thinks their FF 11mm fisheye is optically excellent. I bought the latter for my EOS R, though I already had the Samyang 8mm f/2.8 EF-M mount fisheye. I think the FF and APS-C lenses are about equally good for landscapes, even though I'd hoped the (cheaper) 11mm would be better due to the larger format. Not answering your question directly, this is speculation, but on that basis I'd expect the 8mm Samyang should be better than the 8mm TTartisan lens; however the Samyang is nearly double the price and can't be used with filters.

The projections used by both the 8mm lenses look more natural than the equisolid projection used by most rectangular fisheyes - I use mine a lot more than I thought I would, but I do have to pick my subjects carefully.
