The lens is tightly assembled and very solid. ![]() The lens is constructed of metal and high quality plastics, and this new version feels a bit more robust than the original model. The 8mm Fisheye II has a similar construction to the first version of the lens, though it appears that Samyang has upgraded things a bit as well. I review products on how they act for me as a photographic tool in real-world shooting. There are plenty of other sites that cover those. You won’t find lens charts or resolution numbers here. If you’re not familiar with my reviews, I review from a real world shooting perspective. So is it worth it to go for the second version of this tiny wide gem? The Rokinon 8mm f/2.8 Fisheye II on the Fujifilm X-T1 Samyang also produces this lens under other brands such as Walimex and Bower. I reviewed version I of this lens last year, and again the reviewed version of this lens falls under the Rokinon brand name. The lens has a completely new optical design to go with its slightly revised exterior. ![]() The second version of this fisheye lens for mirrorless cameras is not a minor revision, at least not with regards to the lens design. That’s the case today, however, as I take a look at the Samyang 8mm f/2.8 Fisheye II. Since mirrorless is still so early in its development, it’s rare that I get the opportunity to review a second version of the same lens. ![]()
