Taking that in, this is one of my favorite lenses that I have ever purchased! It is a manual focus lens, but you rarely ever need quick focus when using this lens and with as wide of a lens as this is, the depth of field is so vast that absolutely exact focus is rarely needed without some time to try some tweaking. For a lens this inexpensive, it is extremely sharp when not at the extreme aperatures (f5.6-f11). It is really pretty decent even at the extremes. It is a very fun lens to use and allows one to take creative open shots which are not allowed without using much much more expensive alternatives. I would highly recommend this lens! 2 of 3 people found the following review helpful: Fantastic Lens For The Money, By This review is from: Bower SLY358C Ultra Wide-Angle 8mm f/3.5 Fisheye Lens for Canon (Electronics) Let me begin by saying that this lens is manufactured in Korea, not China, and is made by Samyang under their name as well as Bower and Pro-Optic.

On further review, I found equally glowing reports of the Pro-Optic on Amazon and Adorama web sites. This is a manual lens, so you have to do a little work when using it. Loss of auto focus is no big deal with a lens this wide, since its hyperfocal range is so great - just set it at 10 feet, and you should have all distances covered. Depending on your camera, you may or may not lose auto exposure. I shoot this with a Nikon D200, and can auto expose with aperture priority - not all Nikons can do this, however, only the more advanced - it will not auto expose with the D40 or other entry-level cameras, so it pays to research this lens with your camera if lack of auto exposure is a deal breaker.
