Product Review
This is Samyang's newest fisheye lens for Canon. It features some great new features that are not available on Samyang's first highly rated 8mm f/3.5 fisheye lens. Optics and glass are high definition (HD) with very clear & sharp images. This lens also features a removable hood which can make it easier for use on full frame cameras. While this lens is designed for APS-C sensors, full frame users can now use it without the hood. On APS-C cameras like the Canon 60D, 7D and T3i, the pictures will fill the entire frame or screen. On full frame cameras like the Canon 5D, the lens will produce pictures with a semi-circular image and close images will appear proportionately large for a dramatic effect.
- ULTRA-WIDE 180° VIEW: Capture sweeping, dramatic scenes with the 8mm fisheye perspective, perfect for creative photography, landscapes, interiors, and immersive video footage.
- HIGH-DEFINITION OPTICS: Features improved HD glass and Ultra Multi-Coating for crisp detail, vibrant colors, and reduced flare, even in challenging lighting conditions.
- ASPHERICAL LENS ELEMENT: 10 optical elements in 7 groups, including one hybrid aspherical element, minimize distortion and enhance edge-to-edge sharpness for professional results.
- REMOVABLE LENS HOOD: Petal-shaped hood reduces glare and protects the lens, and can be easily removed for full 180° coverage on full-frame or 35mm film cameras.
- PRECISE MANUAL FOCUS CONTROL: Smooth, accurate focusing with a close minimum distance of 1 ft (0.3m), ideal for unique close-ups, architecture, and dynamic wide-angle shots.
