    Default Samyang vs Rokinon

    I'm considering getting the 8mm fisheye lens. Does anybody know the difference between the Samyang and the Rokinon. On Amazon the Samyang F3.5 Ultra Wide fisheye is $292 and the Rokinon F3.5 HD fisheye is $315. I understand that there is a Bower version as well.

    I believe all three are the same lens, just labeled differently. I bought the Rokinon version and it's a damned good lens but designed for crop frame cameras. Check out what Ken rockweel has to say about it:
    8mm f/3.5 Fisheye Lens: Samyang, Pro-Optic, Bower

    I have gone out with that lens only and gotten some fun shots.
