No need to fiddle with manual focusing, almost everything is sharp at 3.5 and good enough at 2.8, lovely pictures for a fun fisheye effect at a low cost. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Decent Lens, Price - meh. *by on Reviewed in the United States August 22, 2018* Pictures below, note that1 - Outdoor pics at f8, focus infinity minus a hair, and the camera set the exposure2 - The detail in the car pic is from the original size 8.4 mpx image with no post-processing3 - The coffee kiosk pic, I am about 8 feet from the nearest corner of the building.-Decent lens, seems well built, focus mechanism is damped well enough to stay where you put it, f ring has positive detents. As other reviewers have noted, the one-foot minimum focus kind of works against the concept. Any fisheye gives it's most dramatic effect close-up, if that's what you're going for.I read a review of these elsewhere that said the glass is very good, but the construction involves a lot of plastic, so don't expect it to last years and years. For the amount of use this will get in my life, I'm sure it's more than adequate. Sharpness at my camera's medium size setting was kind of a pleasant surprise. Frankly, I hated to pay what this cost, but with decent specialty name-brand lenses -starting- at twice the price, the solid feel and image quality are plenty good for my needs. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Build is awesome - Pictures are easy *by on Reviewed in the United States October 20, 2017* Build quality is great, and the image production is pretty good. Set focusing to anywhere from 6" to 2' with an f/stop around 5.6-8 and you can't really miss. ## Frequently Bought Together - Samyang 8mm F2.8 UMC Fisheye II (Black) Lens for Sony E-Mount (NEX) Cameras (SY8MBK28-E) - SanDisk 128GB Extreme PRO SDXC UHS-I Memory Card - C10, U3, V30, 4K UHD, SD Card - SDSDXXD-128G-GN4IN - Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 STM Lens --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.us/products/2639900-8mm-f2-8-umc-fisheye-ii-black-lens-for-sony](https://www.desertcart.us/products/2639900-8mm-f2-8-umc-fisheye-ii-black-lens-for-sony) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-10-25*
