Well, the Peleng is a circular fisheye which does not cover the full APS-C format. As such it represents already a bigger compromise.
The Tokina/Pentax 10-17mm may be viable alternative - it seems a little sharper in the extreme corners but it produces more purple fringing and it's worse in contra light situations (which is why I rated it lower).

Klaus do you think there is any potential to "trim" the hood of the Samyang and get an 8mm circular fisheye on full frame? Does the lens mount on full frame canons? (some but not all third party APSC canon lenses seem to)
Great review, as usual...
