small, well-built and very handy casing ; sensational image quality in the frame centre ; excellent image quality on the edge of the frame including the maximum relative aperture ; low chromatic aberration ; negligible astigmatism ; decently corrected...

Samyang 8 mm f/2.8 UMC Fisheye
this is a very special use lens so you'll not use it all the time, luckily its very cheap and tiny so having it does not cost you a lot ;) its a great lens for astrophotography as its fast as well..
tack sharp- tiny- fast!- manual focusing very precise
on the NEX 7 it has color cast(camera problem)- manual focussing could use less rotation as you basically only need close focus or infinity- vignetting at f2.8
