I use this lens on a Canon T3i. It works great for what it is(the fisheye effect gets pretty boring after a while). After weeks of watching it, I found one on ebay for $215 shipped. Both the focus and aperture rings adjust smoothly but the focus is pretty much pointless since fisheyes' are designed to take massively wide/distorted images. Optically, it functions exactly like the standard/clicked aperture version, I uploaded 2 images I took with this lens, but if you want more examples of how your photos will turn out go check the examples on the FE8M-C. The viewing angle is extremely wide (167 degrees on Canon, 180 on all other mounts) I still get my fingers in the corners of photos regularly. The lens is full manual, but doesn't take much time to get comfortable with.
I gave it 4 stars because the built in hood on the lens obstructs the built in flash on my camera (the FE8M-C has the same hood, the HD8M-C has a removable hood and doesn't obstruct the flash) and the images could be a tad bit sharper.
Overall, if you want a fisheye for both still images and video this will work wonderfully. If you want to save money you will probably be fine with the "clicked" version even for video.
