Rokinon 8mm f/3.5 Aspherical Fisheye - Pros & Cons

very large and extremely well designed focusing ring
the lens also feels very good in the hand and is very balanced with the camera
Build and Ergonomics Build quality is
ring turns smoothly and is well damped
Rokinon is sharper
and produces better images
image quality is spectacular
Rokinon is better than the Tokina fisheye
sturdily constructed
make it easy to shoot compelling lifestyle images
solid and well-built

did not give a depth of field scale to the user
inaccurate Nikon rangefinder
the lens distorts throughout the entire plane of the image
over-exaggerated face would be in focus
distorts on an APS-C sized sensor
Fisheye lenses are not unusual per
fisheye lenses are usually not cheap
lack of AF may be a little tricky
lack electronic contacts
their inherent high levels of barrel distortion
Straight lines are also less curved
much barrel distortion is a feature of the lens
totally unnecessary for a fisheye lens
non-cpu lens
The downside is a loss in sharpness
