## Long description

The Samyang 8mm F2.8 UMC Fish-eye II is an ultra wide-angle fisheye lens that provides a 180° angle of view and a 12mm (35mm equivalent) perspective. Designed for mirrorless and SLR cameras with a Sony E mount option, the lens features an optical construction of 11 elements in 8 groups, including two aspherical elements and three extra-low dispersion (ED) elements. It has a compact build (approx. 64.5 mm length, 6 cm diameter) and weighs about 265 g.
Advantages
This lens delivers an extremely wide field of view with pronounced fisheye distortion while remaining lightweight and compact. The Ultra Multi Coating (UMC) reduces flare and ghosting for improved contrast and color fidelity, and the integrated lens hood helps limit stray light. The combination of aspherical and ED elements improves sharpness and controls chromatic aberration across the frame. A six-blade diaphragm offers apertures from F2.8 to F22 to control depth of field and exposure.
Suitable for
Panoramic and full 360° virtual tour photography
Creative and special effects photography with exaggerated perspective
Landscape and architectural shots requiring an ultra wide field of view
Close-up scenes where extreme depth of field is useful

How to use
Set the lens on your camera body and select manual focus. Because of the very short focal length and naturally large depth of field, approximate focusing by distance scale is usually sufficient for general use. For critical focus or close-range subjects use Live View and magnification on the camera to fine-tune focus manually. Adjust aperture between f/2.8 and f/22 to control exposure and depth of field; smaller apertures increase depth of field and reduce vignetting and softness at the edges.
Usage recommendations
Use this lens for creative wide-angle shots, panoramas and 360° images. When shooting into strong light sources, use the integrated hood and position the camera to minimize flare; stop down the aperture if you need greater edge-to-edge sharpness. For stitched panoramas, capture overlapping frames with consistent exposure and focus settings.
