Afternoon all.
I have asked this question on another forum as well so apologies if some of you are reading it again.
Anyway I am itching to buy a fisheye lens and thought the Samyang 8mm is quite reasonably priced. Have you any experience or thoughts about it? I would appreciate your input.
Thanks.

I bought one recently and it is a very nice lens. Feels very solid and well made, nice and sharp, good colours. The only thing it lacks is AF and who needs that on a fisheye? All the reviews I have seen are good - go for it!
Regards, Philip

I have one it's a fine lens, has the "A" setting on the aperture ring so works really well on Pentax, solid build, bargain price.

Thanks Philip and John. Looks like it's a 'go', only problem now being the wife!
