Samyang/Rokinon 14mm 2.8 ~$400

[Fahad]

hi,

so i'm assuming they're the same lens:

click on "interchangeable lens", the 14mm is the first one on the list.:

on ebay, the lens is samyang from european vendors, and rokinon from US vendors.

rokinon:

samyang:

now.. on the "samyang" listings there are ones with "aspherical" in the title, and other with "fisheye"

so... has anyone tried this? is it a fisheye or UWA?

if it's an UWA, then it's the fastest+widest+cheapest UWA lens for the 7d/t2i... right?

Here's a review.

Excellent except for the distortion, might be a showstopper for video. (Distortion can be corrected for stills but not video.) It's not a fisheye but the distortion kind of makes it one by accident.
