  • Works well, great quality lens for the money
Style: Canon
Just had to set shutter to release if no lens detected. Takes great wide angle photos!

  • Very good non-circular fisheye
Style: Canon
Totally met my high expectations! I have a 12mm regular wide-angle lens as well but, I’m having more fun with this fisheye. On smaller / tiny displays, fisheye photos are great! A regular wide (non-fisheye) lens needs a super large display to show fully off its amazingness.

  • Amazing lens
Style: Nikon
I am impressed with the quality build, the amazing photo quality (plus they are fun pics), and the practical price. The electronics work well on my Nikon D810. Remember to set the aperture to f22. I bought it new. Very glad I got this lens. I also have 14mm weather sealed,wide-angle by Rokinon. All of the above applies. ... show more

  • Nice lens, pretty reasonable price
Style: Canon
A 12mm Fisheye produces a very specific look. If you like the look, you will like this lens. I'll leave it to others to discuss its technical merits, but for me it has produced very nice images. I tried the Canon 8-15 f4L lens for $1350 but found I was usually shooting in the 12-15mm range because the look is very gimmicky at super-wide 8mm. So I returned the Canon and got this for around 1/3 the price. I'm very happy with it. I've not engaged in comparison testing, but I'm as pleased with the images I get from the Samyang as the ones I got using the Canon lens around 12mm. It's a manual focus lens, but focus is not really a problem. I mostly leave it focused at about 3 feet on the range scale and shoot away. At f5.6 most everything in the frame is in focus and at f8 and above you will have sharp focus from your feet to at least 60 feet out. I've had success shooting street with it by hanging the camera around my neck and firing the shutter with my thumb from my waist while walking around. Nobody knows I'm shooting them as they do when I haul that big DSLR up to my eye. If you do this, everything in front of you will be in the shot and in focus, so you can pretty well compose the shot without looking through the camera. (Well, you'll likely need to crop the edges.) I like the look of the images I get with this lens on my full frame Canon 5DII, but I did not care for the look I get with the crop-sensor Canon 7D, where the lens behaves like a 19mm. There is nothing wrong with the image quality, its just a matter of taste. This lens is not cheap by any means. At least it seems well made. If you like the fisheye look, this is a good way to get it at a not too exorbitant price. ... show more

  • THE BEST Fisheye available for Nikon FX cameras!
Style: Nikon
Amazing quality for a reasonable price! ultra sharp and amazing color rendition, it's THE BEST Fisheye available for FX cameras!, you DO NOT need autofocus for a fisheye, put the focus a little before the infinity mark and stop at f/5.6 and it'll be ultra sharp with everything in focus from 1 feet to infinity, the Nikon version has the focus confirmation chip so even with manual focus the camera will indicate when the area you need IS in focus, close the aperture ring and you can also control aperture with your camera controls, and all the exif data from the lens is saved on your raw files so you can do more precise editing later or defish it with sowftware ... show more

  • This lens will push your creativity.
Style: Nikon
FF Nikon owner with a number of Nikon FX prime and zoom lenses. Now with one very nice, new Samyang Ultra wide angle lens. The build quality, fitment, metering and picture quality are excellent. Manual focus is no issue for this 12mm lens. This lens produces pictures that are equal to my prime lenses, you can be a pixel peeper. Check the digital images presented on Flickr for this lens. I use a highly rated Nikon 18-35 G lens for wide stuff and the 12mm for super wide. This lens pushes your creativity, you'll want to shoot with it for the effects it can produce. Very satisfied owner. ... show more

  • Not as expected - but gets the job done.
Style: Canon
Based on the reviews I purchased it. Looks cheaper (obviously it is). Feels okay. Takes photos that would look like it is attached on an APSF not a full frame camera. In regards to aperture ring, I played around to get as better pictures as possible but none of them made me feel happy. Just a fisheye lens. It would not live on the term Ultra Wide. Did not enjoy this lens and probably returning it if the Amazon return time permits. May be you will get better results in a bright daylight. Not for the environment that doesn't have enough light. ... show more

  • Great for the price.
Style: Nikon
I take mostly landscape photos with a Nikon D810, so the lack of autofocus really doesn't bother me, I just set it to infinity and forget about it. I used this lens a lot for astro photography with great results. For what I need it to do I would definitely recommend this lens. Its also built really well is not totally plastic. ... show more
