That’s a good deal: you can get the Rokinon/Samyang 8mmF3.5 Fisheye lens for a good price at AmazonUS here, BHphoto here and Adorama here.
There is a dedicated “Fisheye Thread” at our Forum. See how amazing distortion can be.

Looks like the original model with the red vignetting.
I really look for similar deal in eu…
Aperture does not matter for me nor anyone else who use it for full 360 hdr panoramas. Simply f8 (thats how I used the one I had for nikon for 4 years)
But which is superior between this and the f/2.8 version? The Bower-branded one is only $50 more at $250.
This is what I would also like to know. On bhphoto, there are numerous reviews for the various 2.8 fisheyes, but not a single review for the 3.5. It seems that people tend to disregard the 3.5.
Is it really better than an adopted Opteka 6.5mm/3.5 fish-eye?

2.8 vs 3.5???? The 2.8 is smaller and gives a stop. best i can tell that is the only difference. and about $60 more for the 2.8 I’m think ing of spending the extra so i can just pocket it and pull it out for those special shots.
