vuyisich Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 <p>If anyone is interested in an ultra-wide lens for crop sensor dSLRs, I posted a mini review of the Rokinon (or Samyang) 8mm fisheye lens. <p>http://wildwestluxurytours.com/Blog/2012_pages/ABQ_and_Rokinon_8_mm.html</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peter_j2 Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 <p>How are the corners at f/3.5 on your T2i? How tight a fit is the lens cap? </p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vuyisich Posted April 29, 2012 Author Share Posted April 29, 2012 <p>Sorry, I have not shot wide open yet (I will try to do it today and post an update, if it stops raining). Since I found out that the hyperfocal distance at f8 is only 0.4 m, I thought I could just use the lens with that combo.<br> The lens cap design is not great. It stays on based on the friction of its two "teeth" with the hood, so it's pretty easy to knock off. Also, the cap can only stay on the hood in one position. If you rotate it a bit, it will not latch on.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vuyisich Posted April 29, 2012 Author Share Posted April 29, 2012 <p>OK, I shot a bunch of photos at different apertures. Comparisons are here:<br> http://wildwestluxurytours.com/Blog/2012_pages/Rokinon_8_mm.html</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peter_j2 Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 <p>Impressive for an inexpensive manual focus full-frame fisheye. Thanks for the uploads.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
