Excellent lens for my Canon EOS M50

I didn´t put 5 stars because I had to ask for technical support for shooting with this lens. As its fully manual you need to configure you camera on W/O Lens. B&H has an excellent team as they quickly explained me how to solve this. It´s a fun lens to use and at a very good price. I´m very happy with it. Here is a link on how to configure your M50 camera to use it with fully manual lenses. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5LAcit1cjAA

Recently purchased this for my canon slr, because I wanted to see how a fisheye lens would look for videos. The actual physical build of the lens is good quality and the image is pretty okay, only in brighter settings. It's okay to use, but definitely not for low light settings. The lens also picks up noise easily.

Will this lens work with the Sony A7R IV without an adapter?
Asked by: Just
Yes and no. This will fit on the Sony A7RIV without an adapter, but because it is an APS-C lens it will vignette a full-frame sensor and you will likely only want to use it in Super35 mode.

Is this lens a full frame 16mm on a MF3 camera (true 16mm equiv)- or is there a multiplier effect for the MF3 format?

When used on a Micro Four Thirds Camera there is a 2x crop factor. The lens will give the Equivalent Focal Length of 16mm. It is not an actual 16mm lens.

Will this work on a Canon EOS R Mirrorless Digital Camera with the Canon Control Ring Mount Adapter EF-EOS R installed?
Asked by: James
I have used mine with the regular EF-RF adapter on the EOS RP. The lens does not cover the whole sensor on FF. But, if you shoot video with digital IS on high the increased crop factor means the lens is able to just cover the whole frame.
