So i got the new, or fairly new, Rokinon 7.5mm fisheye lens off of amazon recently. I believe it is identical to the samyang 7.5. Easy to keep steady with video and has an amazing feel to it. Real smooth focus ring, and nice feel and look. Sturdy feeling too. For 300$ its definitely worth it if you film sports like skating and such.

So here is a video with this lens. Don't mind the song, i didn't pick it ha. And sorry about the "vignetting" its a homemade handle i have to fix.

Don't take this video seriously.
 
Saw the late Wesley Willis a few times... RIP big man, while he's gone gotta keep rockin the casio jams...
 
Do you have any more clips? I have the 8mm nikon the only thing I dislike about it is that it doesn't focus as close as I would like. The m43rds version says it focuses to 4" instead of 12" I think that is huge for photo.


This was shot with the 8mm bower (nikon mount) on my gh2 a couple days ago. I love that lens and ot just for action sports! lol.

yes actually it focuses really close, pretty much can touch the lens and be in focus. Heres a video with that demonstration.

That branch stick out that was out of focus was actually touched the hood.
The actual branch was about 2 inches away (maybe 4 if my lengths are horrible) but it was extremely close.
