A specialized lens for creative effects, the Sony E-mount 8mm f/3.5 AS MC Fisheye CS II DH from Samyang offers an impressive 180° angle of view to produce exaggerated, distorted perspectives. The optical design incorporates one hybrid aspherical element, which helps to limit spherical aberrations in order to produce greater sharpness, clarity, and even illumination. A Multi-Coating has also been applied to suppress flare and ghosting for greater contrast and color accuracy when working in strong lighting conditions. Additionally, a removable petal-shaped lens hood is included, too, for further flare reduction and protection to the front element.
