Value For Money

With a price of around £90, this lens offers a budget-friendly introduction to fisheye shooting.

The closest equivalent to the lens is Panasonic's 8mm f/3.5 fisheye lens. Although this lens offers a faster maximum aperture it does costs over five times more, being priced at around £550.

Samyang also offer a 7.5mm f/3.5 fisheye, that may be the best choice for those wanting a proper fisheye with aperture control as it available for around £265.
