The Samyang 8mm f/3.5 Asph IF MC Fisheye CSII DH lens features a removable hood (DH), otherwise it is identical (optically and mechanically) to the version with a non-removable hood. This is a high-quality ultra wide-angle fisheye lens designed for digital SLR cameras equipped with an APS-C sensor (CS). It is a "full-frame" diagonal fisheye lens for APS-C DSLRs, meaning the image it produces fills the frame on APS-C cameras. It produces an immense field of view - 180 degrees on sensors with a 1.5x crop factor, or 167 degrees on sensors with a 1.6x crop factor such as Canon EOS APS-C DSLRs. On full-frame cameras, it produces a vignетted, almost circular image when the hood is removed. This effect is sought after by users wishing to obtain the widest possible image/field of view for panoramic software on full-frame cameras, and this is one of the reasons why Samyang produced this version with a removable hood. The Samyang 8mm fisheye lens is ideal for creating panoramas and 360° virtual tours, including complete 360-degree images with appropriate equipment and various third-party panoramic software provided by other manufacturers. The optical construction of the lens comprises 10 elements arranged in 7 optical groups. The Samyang 8mm fisheye incorporates a hybrid aspherical lens and advanced multi-coating anti-reflective treatment (MC) to minimise flare and ghosting. Like all current Samyang lenses, it features manual focus. The body of the 8mm fisheye lens does not change in size thanks to the internal focus (IF) design. Fisheye lenses are also popular for special effects where distortion and field curvature, exaggerated perspective or extreme depth of field are desired. Groups such as skaters have adopted Samyang fisheyes for skateboard videos and photography, due to their very high quality whilst being an extremely affordable option; alternatives are very expensive or are poor-quality lens adapters offering inferior quality. The Samyang 8mm fisheye lens offers one of the best optics in its category and excellent value for money. A specialised lens, accessible to all photographers. Samyang 8mm 1:3.5 Aspherical IF MC Fisheye CSII DH lenses are available in Canon EF, M, Sony A, E, Pentax, Fujifilm X, Samsung NX, Four Thirds, MFT mounts. Specifications
