  1. The first pictures is take with the standard 18-55mm lens in a flatport, then i got the Samyang 8mm lens. The first dive with the 8mm lens, i used the standard flatport, then i bought the Sea and sea compact dome.

  2. Hi,

     

    Thanks for posting the video. What focus gear did you use with the Samyang?

     

    Cheers,

    cool! good as a lense and physics school :P

  4. You don't really need adjust the focus on the 8mm Samyang as you can just set it to infinity and everything is pretty sharp (certainly sharp enough for video).

     

    The Samyang 8mm is a really nice lens and very cheap too! If I liked the FE look for video I think I'd be using the Samyang over the Tokina 10-17mm.

     

    They also make some lovely rectangular prime lenses and I've been meaning to try out the 14mm 2.8 for some time now, but I've just never got around to it.
