Ultra wide-angle 8mm fisheye lens with exaggerated perspective and approximately 180° angle of view, for dramatic effects Ultra-wide 139.3° diagonal field-of-view for 4/3 size image formats Of course if you use the same lens with different sensor size, the result will be different.

Hi Greg, in my opinion better is relative. If you want more quality and zoom possibility then the most narrow angle the lens has, more close to these objectives you will be. If you want an easy stitch, using less images will make you achieve the final result in less time, then the more open angle

Indeed. This is what has been puzzling me. There are two different 8 mm fisheyes available for Olympus: the relatively expensive 8 mm f/3.5 from Olympus, and the 8 mm f/3.5 from various rebadgers (Bower, Samyang, Rokinon). The former costs about $800 and has a full 180° diagonal angle of
