The Samyang 8mm T3.8 is a manual-focus fisheye cine lens that gives a 180° field of view on full-frame and APS-C sensors. It is built for video: the iris ring is silent for smooth iris pulls, and both focus and iris rings carry gears for follow focus and iris motors. The internal-focus design keeps the front from rotating, and the 10-element, 7-group optical formula includes one aspherical element to hold down chromatic aberration. It suits filmmakers and gimbal or rig shooters who want a wide fisheye look without post-processing distortion, and it competes with other budget cine fisheyes on geared rings and a declicked iris rather than autofocus or weather sealing.

Owners of Samyang's manual fisheye cine lenses generally praise the smooth geared rings and the clean, wide fisheye look for the money. Complaints center on the slow maximum aperture and the need to focus by hand.
The Samyang 8 mm T3.8 HD is a compact fisheye lens for shooting HD video. It has a 180° field of view and produces fisheye distortion on full frame and APS-C sensors. The effect comes from the lens itself, so it needs no extra optics or post-production processing.
The iris ring is silent, which allows smooth iris pulls. The focus and iris rings both have built-in gears for follow focus and iris motors. Focusing is internal, so the front of the lens does not turn when focus changes.
The optical design has 10 elements in 7 groups, including 1 aspherical element. It delivers a crisp image with minimal chromatic aberration across the imaging field. A removable tulip-shaped lens hood is included.
