The Samsung NX 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 12mm 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.

180° fisheye lens provides a 35mm-equivalent focal length of 12mm, making it ideally suited for interior and architectural subjects.

Fast f/2.8 maximum aperture benefits working in low-light conditions.

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.

Q: 1. is this compatible with Sony Alpha a6000 (B&H # SOA6000B) ?

A: What kind lens correct siny A6300?

Q: 2. the lens is made from plastic or metal ?

A: These lenses are of a high quality plastic.

Q: 3. Will this lens fit on a Sony A7r or do I also need an adapter?

A: This lens has an E-Mount, so it will attach to the A7R. The A7R has a full frame sensor and this lens is for APS-C sized sensors, it will still work though if you use the A7R in its APS-C mode.

Q: 4. Does this lens fit on a Canon 5d mark III?

A: Sorry, no, it does not for two reasons. 1. This lens is for a mirrorless camera and is designed to be closer to the sensor. This has the advantage of reducing the lens and camera size. However, if you were able to mount the lens on a 5D Mark III, this lens would be forced to be too far away from the sensor and consequently it could not focus. 2. Even if you could mount it and focus it still would not work because it cannot make an image that would cover the entire sensor. Thus you would get too small a circle image with a great deal of black surrounding it.For your application you can use the Rokinon 12mm f/2.8 ED AS IF NCS UMC Fisheye Lens for Canon EF Mount. See attached link.

Q: 5. 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: 6. 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: 7. Will this lens work with a Sony alpha 200 body?

A: Yes, this lens will work with the Sony Alpha 200 and any other Sony camera that uses the A mount and has an APS-C sensor.

Q: 8. does this lens work for Canon 5d markIII?

A: No, it does not for the reasons it will not mount, focus or cover the sensor with an image.A manual fish-eye lens that will work on the 5D Mark III is seen below in the attached link.

Q: 9. Is lens hood removable?

A: No but it can be machined off then it's called a shaved lens.

Q: 10. 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.
