Are the samyang lenses any good? I would like a fisheye at some point and they are pretty inexpensive especially compared to the canon one. But I don't want to buy one if they are naff. Does anyone have a comparison? I know they are manual but the focusing is not really an issue.

Hi Andy

I see you have a 5D.The Samyang is designed for a cropper.It is a cracking lens though.

Yep! .... Well worth the money :cool:
 
Here's l a link to the Samyang website if you haven't been there already. I've used their 85mm f1:1.4 lens for 18 months now with very good results. Mine is a Nikon mount (D300) and I also use it on the Canon t2i (550D) with an adapter ring that has the focus confirmation chip on it.l I've about talked myself (99%) into buying the 8mm. They both have had very favorable reviews.
UPDATE; I finally caved in and ordered the lens 8 Feb. from Cameta Camera.

I have noticed they have released a 14mm ff lens. That sounds promising. It's like 299 without shopping around. I would like a rectilinear and a diagonal fishes if I could but I don't really wanna pay 500 plus for the canon fishy
