Thanks for the reply.Just wondering are wide angle lens called fisheye lens too?

Fisheye lenses have that 'round' looking effect.

The one used is the Samyang 8mm circular fish eye but it's meant for APS-C sensor, so it'll look similar to a 'normal fisheye' - which is ~15mm or so usually on a full frame camera.

A full circular fisheye 8mm on a full frame will have the image complete in a circle with blackened surroundings.
