Product Description
The Rokinon 8mm f/3.5 Fisheye Lens is an excellent addition to any photographer's collection, giving users the ability to expand their creativity and capture incredible scenes from a truly unique perspective.
This manual focus lens, when used with cameras with an APS-C image sensor, creates images with an expanded perspective, including images with a creatively deformed outlook and a sharp pan focus that extends throughout the entire frame. By offering a 180-degree angle of view, this fisheye lens can be used to create amazing image expressions that cannot be seen by the human eye, such as exaggerated perspective and distortion. The minimum shooting distance (just 12 inches) and large depth of field also provide amazing close-up shots.
In addition, this lens incorporates the latest optical multi-coating techniques. The process of multi-coating assures virtually flare-free photographs even under adverse lighting conditions, resulting in crisp, high-contrast pictures.

♦ Conforms to APS-C (1:1.5x) size digital imaging format

This lens is available under multiple brand names. I reviewed the Pentax version here: Opteka 6.5mm f/3.5 Manual Focus Aspherical Fisheye Lens for Pentax and Samsung Digital SLR Cameras. I suspect that the review that Gawain tried to include is the one from the lenstip site (dotcom). What Gawain didn't know (because this product's descriptions don't cover this) is that the Pentax lens IS NOT manual aperture (Canon and Nikon versions are, but not the Pentax) - this lens is just manual focus - the aperture can be set in camera once you set the ring to A. The problem is that the lens pictured here is probably a Canon/Nikon version. BH has the correct photo for the Pentax mount where you can see the A position.

I've been on the lookout for a fisheye lens for a while and the price point of this lens intrigued me. After some hunting I found this excellent review which I thought I might share in case anyone else was looking at this lens.
[...]
I'll be getting it for my K20D as soon as funds permit.
Note, this lens has no electrics - it is solely manual focus and aperture.
