Samyang 8 mm f/3.5 Aspherical IF MC Fish-eye is the highest quality wide angle lens. The lens is produced for cameras with the APS-C sensor. The construction of the lens is based on 10 elements placed in 7 optical groups. Thanks to using the aspherical hybrid lens and the newest generation multilayer anti–reflection coating,  the optical parameters are maintained on the highest possible level. The aperture consists of six diaphragms and can be close to f/22.  A built-in lens hood was also used here. The lens offers a 180 degrees field of view for APS-C cameras.

The 8mm Samyang is a diagonal lens of the „fish-eye" type. Thanks to this, the perceived world changes totally. All one has to do is to connect it to the body of the camera to discover a different reality. The traces of the perspective become another centem of the artistic expression. Now only your imagination can limit you.
