Used maybe 4/5 times. Practically new other than the fact its out of the box. Has everything that came with it. No scratches on the lens, or the body. Everything works on it. Great lens, but looking to lessen my quiver of lens. Looking for 275 shipped

I have friends with the 8mm and I can't tell a difference. Only difference between the opteka,samyang rokinon, and bower lens is that opteka has a removable lens hood.

Its the exact same lens as the Bower/Rokinon/Samyang 8mm
Check this out for sample pics

I had this lens when I had a T2i and it was incredible. Wish I could use it on my 5D

I don't feel that it really needs to be dropped. Lens don't lose there value to much and I think Opteka stopped making these, or I just can't find them. This lens has a removable lens hood unlike all the other fisheyes (rokinon,pro-optic, ect.) Also the lens comes with a lens pouch. Don't forget this is with FREE SHIPPING

They haven't stopped making them. And you can get them for $279.99 with free shipping on amazon (you could probably find a new one on ebay or some other site for cheaper if you looked around).

I'll do 270, and if you guys don't like the price that's fine, but I am not in a rush to sell a almost new lens.
