Thanks for that hint! A second look at <http://michel.thoby.free.fr/SAMYANG/Early%20test%20report.html> shows me that Michel Thoby actually pointed to the fact that both the 'Samyang 8mm 1:3.5 FISH-EYE CS' and the 'Opteka 6.5mm 1:3.5 FISH-EYE CS' are identical products.

Though there is a difference: the Opteka lens (<http://opteka.com/opt65ii.aspx>) comes with a detachable lens hood (sun shield) while the Samyang has a fixed one:

I really love these marketing heroes... did you know that Mercedes will sell the Renault Kangoo soon, just with a big star added?

Thanks all for your support.

I feel Optika and Samyang both are same with different brand names.
These lenses are sold with different bran names.

I will try to create equirects this weekend....

    I use the Samyang a lot on my 450D. The closest projection type is
    stereographic, and if you use that, the lens correction coefficients
    you need are smallest. Here's a values from a typical lens.ini file
    for it:

    [Lens]
    image_width=4272
    image_height=2848
    type=10
    hfov=138.025
    crop=1.6
    a=0.00716497
    b=-0.0360894

    These settings probably won't be correct for you, as you use a
    different body, but the lens correction coefficientsshould be similar
    and the projection type is the same. But you can take it from there.

    Also keep in mind that every body and every lens, even within a
    series, is different. You have to calibrate your own equipment if you
    want really good results.
