What’s the widest fisheye best for skateboard media?

[@scottlandb6579]

Cool Video. Super stoked I got a rokinon for video at the skate park.

[@MASTEROFSAND]

Thank you thank you thank YOU!!! Been searching forEVER for an exact video like this for all the fisheye lenses. Got the Meike, and this video puts me at ease. Haha Your content is clean, clear, nd well done. Keep it up!! 😎👌

[@TadashiFilters]

Thanks glad it helped out!

[@Mr_Frequency]

Thanks for filming with full frame camera on the Altura 8mm. I was wondering how much coverage it had. Looks like a 29.5mm image circle from taking a screenshot of your video and doing some basic calculations.

[@louisbaer533]

did you film this with a full frame sensor camera? What camera? all cool lenses tho.

[@Mr_Frequency]

Yes, full frame. Mentioned in the beginning. Nikon D810 or something.

[@fletzyproductions1190]

2:03 vomit on its glass already, film strip spaghetti

[@colladophotos]

Samyang and Rokinon are the same brand. Samyang is for Asia and Rokinon for America (the continent). The 8mm f3.5 fisheye is actually a lens for APS-C sensor. They do have a 12 mm f2.8 fisheye.

[@sergioizch]

greetigns from lima peru !!!!!! I bought you a couple of filters a couple of years ago 🎊

[@liem.t]

Just bought the Rokinon 8mm for my canon 5D MK2, super keen. Do you think vignetting is a desirable look or should I to crop it in post? Or is it really personal preference?

[@WILLYPSHREDS]

Literally just tried that combination and was kinda interested to see how it'll look when I actually get out and film. What have your impressions been??

[@liem.t]

@@WILLYPSHREDS I actually really liked it. My first time filming skateboarding without using an iPhone and I think the footage already looks great with that combination. I scaled the videos in Prem Pro. You can check out what it looks like in my recent video. I want to get a 6D MK2 for 60fps as the 30fps is sometimes choppy and fast flip tricks can look a little blurry. Slo motion is also poor. But was very pleased with how the combination looked off the bat.

[@maciejkobus]

It only makes sense to do such comparisons if you enclose the information on what camera it was shot on and what was the crop factor. Without that it's difficult to predict how it will look like (vig etc.) on other cameras i.e. speedboosted MFT.

[@TadashiFilters]

Thanks for the feedback. 0:22 Nikon D810 shot in full frame mode.

[@maciejkobus]

@@TadashiFilters Thanks. Love this kind of stuff! Since it is a full frame image it's really easy to do some cropping in Photoshop :)

[@seankobal]

I have the altura lens. How did you get it to zoom out to give it that effect?

[@TadashiFilters]

U have to put the lens on a full frame camera. 👍

[@Mr_Frequency]

@@TadashiFilters Thanks for doing that, I was curious how much of Full Frame the lens covered. Looks like a 29.5mm image circle from taking a screenshot of your video and doing some basic calculations.

[@TadashiFilters]

Wave Luke Hi, I’m not exactly sure I understand the question.

[@Mr_Frequency]

@@TadashiFilters I am not asking you a question, I am just thankful to see sample video shot with the Altura fisheye on Full Frame. In doing so, you answered my curiosity of how much the lens covered on full frame.

[@TadashiFilters]

Wave Luke ahhh 👍

[@radio-future]

Does the rokinon work on Sony ax-53?

[@Curburglar]

any downsides to going with the Rokinon 12mm vs the 8mm?

[@TadashiFilters]

Not familiar with the 12 but I would assume it’s not nearly as wide, if that’s what your looking for.

[@charles-emiledicaire2885]

Can you see the black corner on a canon 50d whit the Rokinon?

[@TadashiFilters]

I believe that’s a crop sensor camera so probably not.

[@charles-emiledicaire2885]

Okay thank you 🙏🏼

[@finnmusco6905]

What would you recommend in for mainly photography and video as a second prority that is closer in price to the rokinon

[@TadashiFilters]

Tough question. What system r u using? If u got a full frame canon u might be able to find a used 15mm canon lens. Or if your Nikon the 10.5mm or 16mm used. U will get the best quality with those lenses but might be more pricy. Besides that just try a Rokinon and see how u like it and upgrade later when I have the funds. With more expensive glass u will see the quality difference.

[@hzubovi1]

Thanks for the comparison, Nikon 10.5 is my favourite from the bunch. Could You do canon lenses as well

[@TadashiFilters]

That would be a great lens to compare in a video like this. I personally use nikon bodies so that's why it didn't make it into this video. I would venture to guess the nikon 8-15mm is pretty close to the canon but depending on what body it's on

[@tyler5236]

hey i have a canon eos m50 mirrorless, and it is a crop lens. i was wondering if that will affect the fisheye, will it still have a good fisheye effect and if so which one would be the best for my camera?

[@kaffeeskateboards]

We use the canon m50 with a 7artisan 7,5 mm fisheye. Check our video "keep it fun". All lines were filmed with this set up.

[@fools_with_tools]

Hey looking to buy new camera. Will the rokinon 8mm still look dope!!! With lumix gh4? And does the adapter mess with lens?

[@TadashiFilters]

Not too familiar with those 4/3 cameras, i think u might have to do some cropping in post. I've heard by using the canon 8-15mm (set at 10mm) w/ metabones or gobe adapter that it will produces great results.

[@fools_with_tools]

@@TadashiFilters I appreciate the help thanks bro

[@kaffeeskateboards]

Hi, a bit late but... I have the GH5 +Viltrox Speedbooster 0.71 + 8mm Wallimax Fisheye (basically a Rokinon/Samyang ) 8mm. I just started filming with this setup. My videos on the channel so far are filmed with the canon m50 and a 7artisan 7.5 fisheye. But I'm pretty satisfied with my gh5 setup. My LURIUS at video on the channel at 1.30min-2.28min were filmed with the mentioned gh5 setup. This also works with the gh4. Cheers from Germany.

[@cloutwarrior2790]

what camera are you using?

[@TadashiFilters]

The Nikon D810 on full frame mode. :20

[@dkproducer7684]

I bought the Rokinon/Samyang 8mm lens but how come I do not get the black vignette circle when I film?

[@TadashiFilters]

Full frame camera body is needed for it to look that way.

[@loganmaccallum1500]

I use a Rokinon 8mm on my Canon sl2 ( APS-C ,not full frame) no vignette circle at all! Inbox me and I can send you some examples from my insta.

[@MikeLao2G]

Party time, excellent

[@forever.pushin]

Is the Altura 8mm lens automatic? How about the Rokinon?

[@TadashiFilters]

It’s all manual focus and aperture. I believe Rokinon are manual focus only but makes both all manual aperture and an aperture sensor version.

[@shj2474]

i have the altura fisheye, how did you get the black effect around the shot? is it possible without a full frame camera in post? also, i can’t zoom or focus with the altura, the big dial seems useless

[@TadashiFilters]

Pretty sure u need a full frame to show the black effect. You could add fake vig if u want that look. To get it max wideness u need full frame.

[@CameronAllOneWord]

I got the Meike 8mm how do I get rid of the corners? Is that something I'm supposed to do in post?

[@TadashiFilters]

U can crop in post. Depending on what camera you have you may also be able to shoot in dx mode (cropped) so it won't show the corners.

[@CameronAllOneWord]

@@TadashiFilters Thanks I'm actually just an idiot and trying to figure my new camera out(Sony A7 III). My last DSLR's fisheye didn't have corners but I didn't realize I could zoom on the Sony to get rid of the corners and it looks great. However would you recommend that I film everything completely zoomed out and then crop/zoom in post? Sorry for the n00b questions

[@TadashiFilters]

@@CameronAllOneWord Depends, but most likely you'd want to film it to reflect how you'll be exporting it. So zoomed in probably. That way in the field when you review the clip you'll know it will look similar to the final output. (Zoomed out can be nice so you have a little wiggle room to move the clip around in post because you have more image to work with)

[@netgore3047]

Hey there just a question, is the Meike 8mm and Meike 6-11mm the same when both are at 8mm focal length?

[@MASTEROFSAND]

Since it's a prime lens, straight 8mm, the 8mm prime lens is supposed to be better. It's also built for the widest shot. Video shows it "winning" for widest shot, and best image. Only me, I got a 8mm Meike because other reviews have confirmed it stays in focus even in manual if, I believe, set to infinity. Good luck!!!

[@manual.focus1]

Yo how do you get that much vig on a Nikon?

[@TadashiFilters]

Full frame body with crop sensor fisheye

[@normalcy._8781]

TadashiFilters damn I have a Nikond500 how would I do that my b for asking 🙏

[@TadashiFilters]

@@normalcy._8781 great question. I believe the signals 4.5mm would do the trick. The Nikon 8-15mm shit at 8mm would come close but not be quite as wide as well

[@manual.focus1]

TadashiFilters bro thanks a million

[@Marcel-Marcel]

I have just bought a Rokinon (Samyang) 8mm fisheye and put it through an adapter on my Olympus camera. For some reason, I can't get too close to the skater or it seems like too much of the image goes out of frame. I'm used to following the skater super close and it always looking good, or in frame. Does anyone know if this has to do with my camera? Or is there something else I am missing here?

[@TadashiFilters]

I would venture to guess the adapter has some type of crop factor. Let us know.

[@johnandgreg2294]

Hi i just want to know what cheap fisheye lens for skating would be good for Coolpix A900 Nikon i want to get started

[@johnandgreg2294]

Help

[@TadashiFilters]

I don’t think u can put a fisheye on that body because it’s a fixed lens attachment.

[@johnandgreg2294]

Alright thanks

[@chanun]

👍🏻

[@Joey.Borelli]

Can all these lenses work on any cannon or only the one used in the video

[@BLAKEWOLLERSHEIM]

i'm still just like, mk1 :(
