question

Using Canon T3i: this lens, with non-removable hood, is noted as compatible with the T3i. Comparing this lens to the same model WITH removable hood, is there an issue with vignetting? Seems that buying the version with removable hood provides a perfect option as the hood can be added or removed. Am I missing something? Is there a reason to NOT get the removable hood version for use with my T3i?
Asked by: Anonymous
Aside from personal preference, the version with the removable hood can take up less room in storage if the hood is removed or reverse. There will not be any vignette issues caused by the hood on either version of the lens.

question

Can I put a filter on this lens? If so, what mm?
Asked by: Anonymous
Unfortunately, the Rokinon 8mm f/3.5 fisheye does not have a front filter thread, nor is there a filter holder on the market for this lens I am aware of. So, you could not use filters with this lens.
