I have a Samyang. Bought for £180 or so from Poland on E-bay. Not a bad lens at all. Full manual, will only meter on D200, D300, D700 and above. Fun lens and full 180 degrees fisheye on DX.

Big puzzled by that as im not sure what you mean by meter?

But will this work on my 350D?

Thanks

Will they function on a D80 body or Fuji s5pro? I thought they were near enough the same fitments etc.

Thanks again guys

It will meter on an S5 Pro, not on the D80. You will have to use an external light meter to set exposure.

Or guess and use trial and error
