Samyang 7.5mm f/3.5 UMC Fisheye MFT Lens (Black)
Overview
Description
The 7.5mm f/3.5 UMC Fisheye MFT Lens - Black from Samyang is the first model in a new series of Samyang lenses designed specifically for the Micro Four Thirds system of cameras. Compact and with superior optics it is compatible with any micro four thirds mount. Providing a 180º angle of view, this lens is ideal for shooting panoramic vistas and for stitching together sweeping full 360º views.
It is perfect for exploring the creativity of wide-angle lenses by distorting and exaggerating normal perspectives and with its large depth of field, it's a great lens for close-up shots and fun portraits. The built-in petal shaped lens hood provides some protection for the lens but more so, assures that glare and flare stay out of your photographs. Samyang will be introducing more lenses for micro four thirds cameras, but this simple, affordable lens offers a great option for MFT users to explore their world from a fisheye perspective.

Starting my photography journey with a Gopro Hero HD, I am accommodated to using ultra wide and fisheye lenses in my kit. For $500-$600, it's a fantastic value for a lens. There are alternative lenses by the likes of Laowa (7.5mm f/2 and 4mm f/2.8), SLR Magic, Panasonic, Olympus, and third party Chinese makes on ebay for $80, but the plastic design (with metal mount) makes it feel like they put a lot of effort to make this lens a great companion for a micro 4/3 user, and it certainly does. The focusing ring is smooth and has plenty of friction to get your desired focus. The aperture ring has a fantastic click when dropping the f-stops, however Samyang/Bower/Rokinon do provide a clickless version for video shooters. Unfortunately this lens has no filter thread to use NDs or Polarize filter, but you can carefully rest a filter in front of the inter-graded lens hood, or duct tape a step-up/step-down ring if desired.Read more Read less
