In this review, we'll compare the Rokinon 8mm f3.5 Fisheye for the Four Thirds with the Olympus ED 8mm f3.5 Fisheye for the Four Thirds, both Wideangle Fisheye Prime lenses designed by Rokinon and Olympus, respectively. Both lenses have the same focal length and max apertures of 8mm and F3.5 so they are very comparable in this regard. One major difference between these two lenses is that the Rokinon 8mm f3.5 Fisheye has a max format size coverage of APS-C / DX, but on the other hand, the Olympus ED 8mm f3.5 Fisheye has a max coverage of FourThirds.
We'll begin by briefly examining the main specifications of these two lenses. In the subsequent section, we'll delve into a more detailed analysis, outlining the strengths and weaknesses of each.
