Verdict
Pick the Samyang 8mm if you need an ultra-wide fisheye perspective for creative shots or tight spaces and can accept manual focus. The Sony 16mm stays the better choice if you prefer a more natural, wider-aperture-friendly field of view and value autofocus convenience, especially for everyday shooting.
