"Samyang say it will work with 50-megapixel high-resolution cameras."

Is that an empty a statement as it sounds like to me?

Samyang has managed some good value propositions before, so hopefully they manage again. I love my 14mm F2.8. I knew I wouldn't use it tons and wanted something inexpensive. It's proven to be an excellent value and pretty good in it's own right.

How would you use 10mm on full frame though. Wouldn't it need to be on at least a small boom to keep the tripod or your feet from being in the shot? I find I need to stand with duck feet using the 14mm unless I'm shooting up as it is.

130 deg diagonal field of view. Some fisheyes go to 180 deg FOV. Certainly a niche perspective.
