So, I guess you tested it during day time and put a reference mark on your lens ?

Pretty much but the Samyang has a focus scale so I just need to know where to set it.

Looks like is on the left, near the water (tiny dark spot)
It's crazy the reversing effect you can create with the same FE lens !

You're correct I just looked at the full size, he's maybe 25 feet away may as well be a mile

Samyang Fisheye 8mm

EarlVonTapia · 11-17-2014, 07:18 PM - **10 Likes**

Judging by the likes and comments I'm getting on Facebook, this picture I took this past weekend was a good one. I thought I'd share it here to show the magical power force of fisheyes!

Single shot. DA 10-17 @ 10mm, F3.5, 20 seconds, ISO 3200.
