180-deg Viewing for NX Mount - Met Expectations

By Barton
Rated 5 out of 5
Date: 2019-11-29

I am a Samsung NX1 owner and wanted the widest possible angle for real estate photography (interiors) and other tight shots. The lens is compact and simple to use. Just adjust aperture and manual focus. Photographs seem nice and sharp. Met expectations at the price I paid about $149.

great lens. Complement with NX lineup

- true 180d FOV. - Manual focus is fine for 8mm. i just set it around 3-4ft and everything is in focus from 2ft-infinity even at f2.8 - Very compact, just a little larger than the stock 20-50 NX lens. looks great on NX camera not too bulky, great for travel. - f2.8 very usable.sharpen up nicely f4 to f8 - maybe sharper than tokina 10-17 fisheye zoom - Down side: incompatible with samsung NX video mode (this is perhaps a problem of the camera, not the lens)
