I’ve always wanted a fisheye lens, but the only one that tempted me by being wide enough (and not costing a bomb) was the Peleng 8mm f/3.5mm from Belarus.

Plus it has a fast f/2.8 aperture and HSM! And it’s pretty small and neat meaning it’s convenient to carry around.

• The first 180 degree circular fisheye lens designed specifically for APS-C size digital SLR cameras
• Fast F2.8 maximum aperture making it ideal for low light photography
• Minimum focusing distance of 13.5cm and a maximum magnification of 1:6
• SLD glass minimizes color aberration
• Equipped with HSM with full-time manual focus override
• Equisolid angle projection method is possible for art and scientific use

Excellent! Read the full release here:
