Bower SLY8VDSE Ultra-Wide 8mm T3.8 Digital Fisheye Cine Lens for Sony E (NEX) Camera

This is a fantastic buy for the price. The lens covers nearly 180 degrees while being very sharp. It also does a great job in terms of aperture. While the build is plastic, it has a very solid feel and has a good weight to give you the sense that it won't break down on you easily. With that being said, if you do abuse it, it will be damaged.

very good lens, fully manual but am using manual lenses so it was not a problem for me but to be honest there is not a problem to catch the focus in this kind of lenses

great lense works and looks amazing( i use mine on a nikon d3100) just make sure you have plenty of light!!

This was a gift, and my grandson loves it! It is amazing the pictures that he is getting with it!

Had great expectations but the optical quality is terrible. I called the manufacturer and they said its a defect. Yeah right!

Ok I'm sure a lot of you are wondering is this the same as the Rokinon 8mm Cine Fisheye. My answer is yes. They are both under the brand "Samyang". My friend has the Rokinon 8mm cine Fisheye for his Canon t4i. It seemed like a great lens and I been wanting a Fisheye, I had a hard time finding a used one for my Sony A65(Since I buy my lenses used) until I found the bower brand. I got it a couple weeks ago and I love it. The Images are sharp, great color and it has pretty nice build quality even though its plastic. Pretty much every thing in the lens is in focus all the time( I leave mine on infinity)and it has great distortion and the Focus and De-cliked Aperture ring are very smooth and quiet.When I did compare it to my friends I noticed there were a couple LITTLE differences between my Bower and his Rokinon,First mine has a removable lens hood, his doesn't, secondly my glass is a bit larger. Now I think the reason for these differences are his is the cs1 and mine is the cs2 which is a bit newer. In the end of the day the Samyang,Bower,Rokinon are all the same ,just get what ever one you find cheapest. They are one of the best lenses you can buy for the money, and are highly recommended!
