Lots of fun and inspiration. Followed your link to this lens on Amazon. Received it the morning of Friday the 13th. It's been on my M50 ever since as I bicycle around town rediscovering the Philly landscape.

[@BillEricPhotography]

That’s great to hear!! Thanks! We appreciate the support!

[@condekirk4271]

this was a really delightful and inspiring video. it's the only video I've watched I can remember that emphasises that great photography comes as a result of enjoying and loving the experience of photography. All this time I was wondering about technical elements of the 7artisans fisheye but you brought it to an emotional and joyous level to consider. thank you!

[@BillEricPhotography]

That’s great to hear! If you aren’t enjoying your photography then nothing else matters!

[@backpack.journal]

Greetings from Greece Bill. Even though your channel isn't so popular till this time i enjoy your videos and helped me a lot to figure out what lenses i should use and how. Very good and enjoyable work there. Thak you very much. I recommend this channel.

[@BillEricPhotography]

Hi, thanks! I'm glad the videos are helping you. KZbin is a slow grind unfortunately but we enjoy making the videos! Thanks for watching.

[@paulsumner8519]

I agree 100% with what you've said here Bill, I do miss not using my 7Artisans lens, even though I still have it. The last vestige of my Canon M system!

[@BillEricPhotography]

I've always found fisheye lens has to be a lot of fun. actually some of my favorite images that I've taken over the years were shot with fisheyes.

[@hukchone4521]

Thanks Ed, Definitely will!

[@iainwolstencroft3764]

I had been ermming and ahhing about this lens for my Canon M3, I have used the Samyang 14mm on another camera and not worried about manual focussing I wanted something inexpensive, but wanting be do something different. Your enthusiasm for the lens has certainly tempted me.

[@geemareevideo9076]

Fantastic review! Have been thinking about getting this lens.

Great video Bill definitely a fun lens I'm in the process of trying to find my fisheye put it somewhere in the house but no luck finding it yet 🤔

I hope you find it! Great lens to get some different images with.

[@messylaura]

Mine will be coming in a couple of days :) , you might want to put a vid up explaining how to unlock the setting on cameras for using a lens with no electrical connection, i bet a few people wont know about that.

[@BillEricPhotography]

Hi, I actually did. It came out the same day as this vid.

[@messylaura]

@@BillEricPhotography got my lens, what a great one it is, very sharp esp close up, really loving how close you can stand infront of a tree and get the whole thing in the frame, great for artistic photos too, highly recommended, i don't do much or any vid, just photos but i did test out the 4k vid with the lens and it does a great job of opening out the 4kvid crop

[@BillEricPhotography]

It's not for every situation but it's definitely a fun lens to have in the bag!

[@angelo6748]

What do you prefer between the Rokinon 8mm and this 7Artisan 7.5mm? Overall image quality, distortion, etc.? I'm currently planning to buy my first fish eye lens. Very nice video. Thank you.

[@BillEricPhotography]

I think it depends on what camera you are using. If it's an M50 then the 7Artisans. If it's a DSLR the Rokinon. Both will give you a similar image.

[@punkt646]

Awesome video, thank you! I think I get one of these now ✌🏼

[@BillEricPhotography]

Happy to help!

[@BeatsAndGuitars]

What would be a comparable lens for the EOS R? Thanks for your time. Great video.

[@BillEricPhotography]

Thanks, Rokinon makes a 12 mm fisheye that is made for full frame cameras. I believe there is a canon version. I don't know if there R specific are lenses that are available as fish eyes yet.

[@BeatsAndGuitars]

Disney Image Makers thanks a ton!

[@ionutdaescu4300]

Hello! I recently bought this lens for the Sony a6000 and I am experiencing a phenomenon that I do not know if it is normal, namely the vignetting at closed apertures. At f8-f11 the corners of the image are black, to get rid of them I have to crop. Does your lens behave the same ?! Or did I buy a hard copy ?! Thank you!

[@BillEricPhotography]

I didn't have that issue with this lens. Mine was a Canon version, maybe the Sony version is a little bit different. Or it might have something to do with the settings on the camera.

[@geminidreamer2489]

Hi Bud, May I know how you manage to do the sharp manual focus quickly when you make a selfie? Do you do the manual focus by looking at the screen first while hands extended out?Usually I have problem under the bright sun.

[@BillEricPhotography]

The fisheye is so wide that you don't have to focus it as long as you set the focus at about 2 ft before you even start shooting everything you take a picture of will be sharp. At that wider of a focal length there is almost no depth of field.

[@geminidreamer2489]

Thanks so much buddy🙏😇

[@mhsvz6735]

Thank you.

[@BillEricPhotography]

😄👍🏻

[@nancyk9475]

Do you prefer the Rokinon 8mm instead of a 12mm on your D750? The 8mm is a little cheaper. Could the 8mm be used in FX on the D750 or only DX?

[@BillEricPhotography]

I actually like the 8 mm because it's a little more distorted. I've heard nothing but good things about the 12mm though. if you use it in DX mode the images will look like a standard fisheye lens if you use it in full frame mode you will have a circle with black borders around it which might look cool sometimes. I typically use it in DX mode though.

[@NildoScoop]

Nice video. But did you wear big sunglasses in the sun after the sentence:"So watch the video."? 😅😅

[@BillEricPhotography]

I did! I had Raccoon eyes after my trip!

[@NildoScoop]

@@BillEricPhotography But at least you had great weather. 😉

[@BillEricPhotography]

I definitely did! It was worth it!

[@ovidius8229]

Very inspiring and beautiful images. I have a Canon M50 and a Panasonic camera and I love them both. I would like to buy this 7.5 mm lens that will only work on my Canon M 50. But if I buy the Rokinon 8 mm lens EFS amount will work on both cameras with adapters (I already have adaptors for both). Could you please tell me, because I know you have both lenses what is the difference in the field of view between the 7.5 and 8mm lenses? Which of the two lenses would you recommend me? Thank you very much.

[@BillEricPhotography]

I think if you already have the adapters the Rokinon is a fine lens. I have had mine for years and I've made many really great images with it.

[@ovidius8229]

@@BillEricPhotography Thank you. That is kind of what I wanted to hear.

[@aldrianalfonso5638]

how do you get sharp images? i have the sony a6400 and do i set it on 5.6 or more? especially at night

[@BillEricPhotography]

Your shutter speed is what's going to meet the images sharp. So a good rule of thumb is to make sure your shutter speed is at least double your focal length. Except if you're on a tripod then you need to make sure the camera stays perfectly still.

[@kickoverthestatues]

What is going to make your shots super sharp is to find the ideal f stop for the lens.

[@befordeath]

What aperture keeps everything in focus ? On this lens

[@BillEricPhotography]

Doesn't really matter when it's this wide. For a fish islands like this your aperture is really just and adjustment for light. But if you want to make sure everything is sharp you can set it to f9. You really don't need to though if you need more light in a dark situation. Everything will be in focus at all apertures.

[@ErliGalano]

[@olvidismoh]

hi! If I wanted to use it for vlogs and use an external microphone, unfortunately it would look a bit or not?

[@BillEricPhotography]

You would have to make sure the microphone does not extend further than the front of the lens, otherwise you will see the mic in your video.

[@sullenger4270]

Hey I just got the Lens for my canon eosM but it doesn’t let me take photographs can someone Help please

[@BillEricPhotography]

We have a video from last March I believe that shows how to use manual lenses on the M50. There is a setting that needs to be changed if I remember correctly.

[@khobautista456]

Hello, how can I avoid the distortion? Like it would look straight rather than bending

[@BillEricPhotography]

The lens has to be perfectly level but the distortion is the fun part about owning this lens. I think the point of a fisheye is to distort the world. If you want a more level look you're probably better off just getting a wide-angle lens something in the 11 to 16 mm range on a crop sensor

[@khobautista456]

@@BillEricPhotography I am planning for a 12 mm wide angle lens but since m50 is an APSC sensor camera with 1.6x crop factor this lens is 12mm equivalent so I’m really stuck. Thank you for response.

[@sullenger4270]

Hey is there any vignetting on pictures ?

[@BillEricPhotography]

There's always a little bit of vignetting with wide-angle lenses. But it's easily correctable when you are editing with your software.
