    8mm · f/3.5

    Overview

    The Falcon 8mm f/3.5 Fish-Eye CS is a budget-friendly manual focus fisheye for APS-C DSLRs, sold under multiple brands. Optically, it is soft wide-open but becomes very sharp by f/5.6, with excellent edge sharpness and low lateral color fringes compared to pricier Nikon fisheyes. Chromatic aberration is acceptable, though edges never match center sharpness. Build quality is good with metal mount and smooth focus ring. It suits creative photographers seeking an affordable, fun fisheye with strong flare control.
