Unique shots
The fisheye lens from SAMYANG offers a completely new view of things. Thanks to the unusual perspective, there are no longer any limits to creativity. Whether in panoramic or landscape photography or even in the tightest of spaces, the SAMYANG fisheye lens can be used to create brilliant all-round shots. The Sony camera opens up all possibilities for photographers who like to experiment.
High-quality workmanship
The focal length of just 8 mm enables a close focusing distance of 30 cm. Exciting wide-angle images can be captured in brilliant sharpness, starting just in front of the front lens. The high lens speed of 1:3.5 enables excellent shots even in less favorable lighting conditions. The lens is optimized for DSLR cameras with an APS-C sensor. A lens hood prevents stray light and lens reflections from entering from the side. The glass lenses of the lens are coated and provide excellent contrast and very good sharpness. The particularly high-quality optics of the lens ensure optimum image results with balanced color reproduction.
New image design options
The SAMYANG Fisheye gives photographers a wide range of design options, especially for spherical panoramas. All lines that pass through the center of the image are not distorted. On the other hand, all lines at the edge are distorted, strongly barrel-shaped. This effect is used for a variety of effects (earth globe effect, for example, with a typical, spherically distorted perspective).
Using an APS-C lens on a camera with a full-frame sensor
Lenses that were developed for cameras with an APS-C sensor can sometimes be used on cameras with a full-frame sensor (mainly using an adapter). However, due to the significantly smaller image circle of APS-C lenses, the edges are black. The usable area of the image photographed with a full-frame camera therefore corresponds to that of a camera with an APS-C sensor. The images must therefore be cropped in post-processing. The use of APS-C lenses on full-frame cameras is therefore possible, but not recommended.
