Fish Eye - E mount
My EA 50 is in the post :) - anyone used one of the various e-mount fish eye lenses available out there? I'm looking at Rokinon 8mm and Walimex Pro 8 mm f/2.8, but any recommendations are welcome.
Thanks |

Congrats, welcome to the party! lol
I don't have personal experience with the Rokinon or Walimex fisheyes. A Cheaper option would be to buy a F2.8 16mm E mount and then buy the Fisheye Adapter. Or the Ultra Wide adapter (which is actually what I use). |

haha I know!
Okay are they any good those 2 options? They are a bit expensive here in Spain too - I'd save very little tbh. |

Re: Fish Eye - E mount
Considering how expensive they are, I would guess you get what you pay for.
So go for it! I know Noa an active user of this forum has a range of Walimex and Rokinon lenses which he uses often. So they are definitely good quality glass no doubt! |

Re: Fish Eye - E mount
The 8mm I don't have and there is also a 10mm f2.8 available but have not seen it in the stores yet. There is also a cheap 6.5mm f3.5 Opteka available but not sure if it fits emount camera's. I do have the 14, 24, 35 and 85mm for rokinon (called samyang here) and only from the 14mm I have read it's supposed to be less sharp, my favorite lens now is the 24mm :)

Re: Fish Eye - E mount
Thanks guys - good info.
I'll check the blog too. The Samyang looks like a good option - unfortunately got a job in a week so no time for Amazon. So off to my local Spanish Lens shop to get fleeced ;) Camera arrives wednesday!!!! |

I use a 16mm nikkor fisheye. It rocks.

Dave,
Did you try digitaltoyshop for lenses? - they are somewhere down your way, and I found them to be OK on prices and delivery to Madrid. |
