[QUOTE="Don Kuykendall_RIP, post: 524007, member: 6277"] I just got my Rokinon 14mm and it is a manual lens also. I did have to set it on f22 to get the metering to work correctly but I am not sure about your lens. Lets see, 8mm on a DX camera is 12mm. Slightly wider than my 14mm is on my FX. That is wide.

The one piece of software that I find is indispensable is [URL="http://www.dxo.com/us/photography/photo-software/dxo-viewpoint?gclid=CLLi5cnSpcoCFdgPgQodHdALsA"]DxO Viewpoint[/URL] I makes correcting distortion fast and simple. If you plan on shooting a lot of architecture you will need this. It can be used freestanding or as a plugin to Lightroom which is the way I do it. [/QUOTE]
