It was interesting to me to find this deal:

http://slickdeals.net/f/5026148-Rokinon-7-5mm-F-3-5-Ultra-Wide-Fisheye-Lens-for-Micro-Four-Thirds-in-Black-or-Silver-Color-for-Panasonic-Micro-Four-Thirds-or-Olympus-PEN-239-with-free-shipping-orig-299

This fisheye is brand new but not Japanese. It also is a manual focus lens; a current, twenty-first century, MF lens!

So often discussions in this forum are regarding older lenses, typically used lenses. It's because many newer lenses are AF and off topic here.

But the Rokinon is brand new and it is not AF. It's a brand new MF lens. And the reviews are very good!

This is well-known Samyang fish-eye. It's excellent by the way, so if you want it, grab it.

This looks like a different labeled samyang to me.

It's Korean: samyang lenses are often discussed here, and usually well regarded.
