Thanks for the review.
I'm surprised—but pleased!—to read that this lens uses a near-stereographic projection. After lenstip did their review, I contacted them about this issue and they reported that they believed it uses an equi-solid angle projection. I must say that the samples I've seen from the m4/3 Samyang don't look quite as "stereoscopic" as those from their APS-C fisheye. Are you sure about the near-stereoscopic projection, or is it possible that it's just not as "near" as the APS-C lens? Unfortunately I've never seen a direct comparison between the Samyang and Panasonic fisheyes, or the Samyang m4/3 and APS-C fisheyes, to compare their projections.
