Is this a fish eye lens? One of the photos above says so, but the sample images don't look like those taken with a fish eye lens.

No it is not a fish eye, but a rectilinear ultra wide angle. There is well-documented distortion from this lens, but software correctable.

I believe the fish-eye filter merely gives you a fisheye-like distortion. The wideness of the view will depend entirely on the lens you use.

Yes. It also can be used as a macro lens when you unscrew the fisheye portion.

It has a 35mm equivalent of 24mm. So way less than fisheye. Check the specs for the exact angle in degrees, but fisheye is usually 180 degrees or very close and they usually range in 8-15mm equivalent range from my experience.

I have never tried to mount my fish eye direct to my lens. The 2 pieces together give you the fisheye effect. The macro can be used alone....

This is an adaptor that screws on the end of a standard lens. I have this adaptor mounted on a Canon 18-55 "kit lens". I used the step up rings included to screw it into the 58mm filter threads. At 18mm it produces the traditional "fish eye" effect with a round circle. As the lens is zoomed the effect lessens. After about 28mm there is little effect.

Did you ever get an answer to this? I'm similarly confused. What's the fish-looking thing?

The 0.35X should be considered a fisheye lens. The 0.43, although a wide angle, is not quite as wide.

This is not a fisheye lens. Look for a full frame fisheye (not circular image fisheye) to get the results you want. Any wide angle lens (including this one) will mean you have to be very, very close to the action - like within a foot or two.

It's a phenomenal lens ... One of my favs ! It does however have a very specific place in my lenses , meaning : it's not for everything . It's an ultra wide lens and in as much there is image distortion around the outer rim (like a bubble /fisheye but not as pronounced) ...when used correctly it's breathtaking though -- I also shoot a lot of weddings and this lens may only come out once or twice at a wedding ...maybe you're looking for something a little more rounded (productivity wise) ? You can see some sample images on my Facebook page Dreamshift Photography ...my cover photo (among others ) are with the 14mm ...if you have any further questions I'll be glad to answer them :) Jeremiah.gribble@gmail.com or dreamshift photography on Facebook :)

Hi Rameez, Fisheye and wide angle lenses can cause a bit of bluriness on the edges of photos as the lens "bends" the image. This is a natural effect of a wide angle/fisheye lens. While we do receive mostly positive reviews for these lenses, I understand it may not be for everyone. The important thing to note is that a very high quality lens can cost several times more than the value of this lens. We try to offer products at a low cost for photographers who want to get more out of their camera or try something new but aren't yet ready to pay the high costs associated with professional items. Also, we really hope that customers give our products a shot and that is why we offer a 90 Day Satisfaction Guarantee on all our products, so that they may try out the products for themselves and judge if it is up to their standards. Have a great day. Walter DIGITAL GOJA

Its not a D...but is not a "red hued" B lens either... I looked at some of the Vimeo vid comparisons of the lenses and mine seems to be as wide angle as the B, but with the quality at an A lens. There is no curvature to the video, as with the D lens...

It looks like they used the wrong image when they did the ad. They seem to have 2 or 3 ads for that lens. I do love mine it OS a great walk around lens.

No it is not. Here's some images on these pages that will show what they look like on a FF camera. I got these on Google|Images searching for "rokinon 8mm fisheye full frame": http://photography-on-the.net/forum/showthread.php?p=13659655 http://www.staff.uni-mainz.de/dellani/fotos/20090828-_DSC0851.jpghttp://www.dpreview.com/forums/thread/3611895

On a Full Frame Camera it is a true 180 degree fisheye, at the 15mm end it is an ultra-wide angle lens but with some fisheye distortion, which you would need to correct in Photoshop with a plugin like Fisheye Hemi. Sample pics are at my blog, http://carfisheye.blogspot.com/

Hi, I didn't really like this lens. It doesn't have the effect that I was hoping for. The lens cause an effect on the photo that I did not like, on both sides and its not a very good wide angle, if you are looking for an effect more like a fish eye as I did.

Actually this is a Wide Angle Fisheye Converter Lens, so it's nothing to do with camera type, it fixed on the orginal lens.
