One of the good things about the Samyang is it has a different projection to most fisheyes so is less distorted. I really enjoy mine, but find it too soft below f/8. It's great for making Islands; four shots around, one up, one down!

Yes; it's (almost) sterographic which makes three dimensional things preserve more of their dimensional integrity than either regular fisheyes or indeed ultrawide rectilinear lenses. CIrcles in particular will keep much of their shape in most positions in the field.
