Though the most compact system camera lovers (and critics of Samyang as well) worldwide are claiming that they would be happier if Samyang had come up with some other trendy lenses than the fisheye one. Many said that a 24mm or 35mm F1.7 pancake or a F1.4 prime lens would have been something to “yey” for instead of this fisheye one.
