SAMYANG 8mm f/3.5 AE FISHEYE for Nikon5.0/5

SAMYANG 8mm f/3.5 AE FISHEYE for Nikon I purchased this lens to get a wide angle lens for a Nikon Dslr with a small sensor D7000 mainly for landscape including astro. landscape I have only had the opportunity to make a couple of images with the milky way as an element in the image you will notice a lot of distortion with this lens but this can be straightened out in photo shop or other photo editing program this is the model with a chip to talk to the camera giving aperture control look at revues to decide if this is the lens for you chromatic aberrations are noticeable when wide open. I am very happy with this lens for both the price and results so far a small problem is it cannot take filters and has a non standard lens cap that seems hard to find I like to have a spare in case I loose them.
