The Canon EF-M mount Samyang 8mm f/2.8 UMC Fisheye II Lens is a prime fisheye lens specifically designed for APS-C sized image sensors. Providing a 35mm-equivalent focal length of 12.8mm and full 180° angle of view, this lens is well-suited for creative applications as well as interior and architectural subjects. Its fast f/2.8 maximum aperture is further beneficial to working in low-light conditions.

Three extra-low dispersion elements and two aspherical elements have been incorporated into the optical design to minimize chromatic aberrations and distortion in order to produce sharper images. Additionally, the lens' design features a built-in lens hood and a UMC coating has been applied to the lens elements to reduce surface reflections and prevent lens flare and ghosting for improved light transmission and more contrast-rich imagery.

Three extra-low dispersion elements and two aspherical elements reduce chromatic aberrations and distortions in order to produce sharper images.

UMC coating improves light transmission and suppresses lens flare and ghosting for more contrast-rich, color-neutral images.

Built-in lens hood also helps to reduce lens flare and surface reflections.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Hi there, will this lens work for Sony Alpha 7 ? Thanks

A: This lens is designed for APS-C sensor cameras. The A7 is full frame. This lens would produce a cropped image on a full frame Sony camera.

Q: 2. Will this work on a Canon 7D (APS-C sensor, DSLR)? Thanks.

A: This lens will not work on a 7D. It is an M mount.

Q: 3. Work with Canon 60D?

A: The Samyang 8mm f/2.8 Fisheye II Lens for Canon EF-M Mount is not compatible with the 60D. You would need a lens with a Canon EF mount.

Q: 4. Does this produce a full circular image on Sony FF cameras or does the circle crop at top and bottom?

A: This lens only covers a Super 35mm or APS-C sized sensor. It will not cover the sensor on a Full Frame Sony camera, the camera will need to be set to a Cropped Mode.

Q: 5. does this support auto focus?

A: No. But being an extreme wide angle lens, if you set the focus on infinity you will create a huge depth of field covering infinity to very close indeed, so focusing really isn't a big issue.

Q: 6. I assume this is a 180-degree on-the-diagonal fisheye that covers the entire APS-C rectangle? I guess it must be with the built-in petal-type lens hood.

A: Yes, the Samyang 8mm f/2.8 covers the entire sensor and provides a 12mm focal length and full 180 degree angle of view.

Q: 7. I want to use this lens on my A6500 in my water housing and am not sure if it is going to fit in the port. Do you know if the dimensions given in the specifications for the length measure to the end of the lens hood? Thank you

A: The length of the lens to the top of the hood is 3 1/8".

Q: 8. Does it have these known black corners, or can you see the whole image?

A: This lens will have a rectangular field of view. There will not be obvious vignetting in the corners of the image.

Q: 9. Is this lens exactly the same as the Rokinon equivalent ?

A: Yes they are exactly the same just rebadged from the same assembly line.

Q: 10. Does this lens have autofocus?

A: No, it is a manual lens
