This review is from: Bower Ultra Wide-Angle 8mm f/3.5 Fisheye Lens for Nikon - SLY358N (Electronics)
I was looking for fisheye lenses and had zeroed down on the Sigmas and Tammys since I had pretty decent response from either. Nikon was out of question due to the price range. Thats when my friend suggested the rokinon 8mm since its cheap too.

A little more research and I found that Rokinon, Bower, Vivitar etc where all the Samyang product. When the lens arrived, I was impressed by the packaging provided by Bower, with the moulded plastic enclosure for protection and arresting movement. Even the Nikons and tamrons come in cardboard movement arresters which if due to any reason get wet, might fail to do their work.

The second part is the compactness of the lens. Its small and hence its easy to maneuver the whole camera and lens for some overhead shots. Long exposure shots in a moving car at traffic signals give awesome results. Its a true 8mm lens for a APS-C sensor of Nikon. Canon's a little less but 167 degrees is good too.

you'll get a much better review from the website of kenrockwell, he gives the in and out's of this lens a pretty good score. I am happy with it. It looks and feels like a reasonable quality lens. It's not something that I'll use every time I take my camera out - more a fun/creative lens without the huge price tag. I'd recommend this lens to anyone wanting a decent fisheye lens. happy snapping.

As i'm only using fisheye lens for creative shots, I don't want to spend too much money. so Bower fish lens is definitely a a good buy. Its works amazing when taking video shots too. the only slight problem I had it at first is to get the focus range right . As the focus range is to closed with each other, but with some practice, my quality of photo gets better.
