If you can afford it a larger aperture will always come in handy. It's a whole extra stop of light that the lens will let in. If it only comes in handy once or twice then it was worth the extra money.
Larger aperture glass tends to be more precise, and therefore better image quality.

I know it's not for a pro, but the difference in price between a 3.5 and 2.8 fisheye isn't much, and it IS a better lens.
yeah i own the 8mm 2.8, its pretty soft at 2.8 so i often find my self rising the iso and stopping down to f4

Damn dude. Do you have the Samyang 8mm f/2.8 mk II? And What camera are you using it on?
I've used it a few times on a Fuji X-E1 and it's sharp at f/2.8 corner to corner. Easily the nicest fisheye I've used.

I'm gonna be buying a fisheye for my d3100 soon, i havent really done a lot of research on it but would you reccomend the samyang? Quality wise/performance wise

I'm kind of nervous because none of these proto completes that are popping up have striker forks... They all have tilt forks... They better be making more strikers or imma flip

if its not from PROTO its not a proto complete. Shops just build custom completes
