Is the panasonic lumix g 8mm f 3 5 fisheye good for video?

Mostly as a niche pick. At 8mm on Micro Four Thirds it frames like 16mm on full frame, which sits in the wide range I like for vlogging, so the view works. But it isn't stabilised, so handheld footage will show more shake, and the fisheye bulge is a strong look you'll want only for some shots.

Autofocus is a plus. Whatever lens you use, you'll still need decent sound, so read For vlogging and Audio before you buy.

For a body, the Panasonic Lumix G100 and GH6 both take this lens. My listings don't spell out their video specs, so check those yourself before you commit. You can see every lens that fits the system on the Micro Four Thirds page.
