Samyang New 8mm Cine lens

[Mike Garrick]

Not sure if this thread should be here or somewhere else....moderators please feel free to move.

Anyway Samyang have announced they are releasing a 8mm Fisheye "Cine Lens" . I'm not sure what that means ie. PL mount or various still mounts. No mention of price, not the fasted of lenses but does come with focus gears . Could be of interest & compliment the Tokina 11- 16. I have few of there lenses they're sharp & well made.

Stocks available March 18 apparently.

basically it's the "old" 8mm declicked and geared. will be available as canon, nikon, sony mount and others. at foto walser 349€ for any mount version. PL hasn't been mentioned yet as far as I know.
Foto-Walser Germany Walimex 8mm cine version

matt duclos compared the 35mm samyang to a zeiss and got real positive results.

I have the 8mm fisheye (non cine) and it's outrageously wide.

Fun lens.

Can I ask you how it performs? How much does it vignette at 5k?

Thanks!

Creeps in at 5K, covers 4K with no issue.

I wouldn't bother at 5K, to be honest...unless you're shooting like a skate video or something. But I was really surprised at the FOV of it. Well worth the 280 bucks.

Hello,
Yesterday I received the Samyang/Walimex 8 mm Lens video-version. I 've made a little "first look" video. If it interests one or the other.

Thanks Oliver for the upload. This lens for the bucks looks pretty good, hard to beat for value & with lens gears, even better.
