Hi, I have 8mm Samyang lens. Overall performance is good. Flare is reasonable.
Focusing is another story. You have to test it for yourself, im not sure that infinity is correct. DOF is large enough, everything seems to be in focus. But if taking close distance shots, and forget to set focus from infinity to 0.5m, then you get sharpness wrong.

We just cashed in a bunch of loose coinage and have over $200 in Amazon credits. This is nearly enough for either the Samyang/Rokinon 85/1.4 or the 8mm/3.5 and I'm quite tempted to make an impulse purchase. I've heard a lot of good about the 85/1.4, but since I have the 77/1.8 I'm quite tempted by the 8/3.5. Especially since my current widest lens is my 16-50. Anybody have experience with the 8? Or ideally both lenses? Suggestions? Advice? Warnings? How hard is it to focus the 8mm? Or with the short focal length, is it harder to get the shot out of focus? -- Larry Colen [email protected] sent from i4est
