Today’s B&H DealZone (one-day deal) is the Rokinon 8mm f/3.5 Fisheye for Canon for only $189.00. This is the lowest price we’ve ever seen for this great-value manual-focus lens.
This is the “HD” version of this popular lens, which features a detachable lens hood for full-frame shooters to get close to a circular field-of-view. You can see some fun and creative photos taken with the 8mm f/3.5 fisheye in the Flickr group for this lens.
is this lens good for astrophotography? I’ve heard that the 14mm samyang is good for stars. thx
You’re better off with the 14mm for astrophotography, due to the f/2.8.

I picked one up for my upcoming Hawaii trip. Looks like a fun lens at a great price!
I can’t decide to get the Rokinon or Opteka 6.5mm HD f/3.5 $149 at Amazon
Get the Rokinon, Opteka is junk.
Rokinon, opteka is crap. You will be happy with the Rokinon
Opteka and Rokinon are the same company under different brands…”Samyang SLR lenses are also branded as Vivitar, Falcon, Rokinon, Walimex, Bower, Opteka, Bell and Howell, Polar, and Pro-Optic.”
The 6.5 will be more of a fisheye and the 8 will be more like a wide angle depending on the crop
