Rokinon 12mm F2.8 

Capture stunning visuals with the Rokinon 12mm f/2.8 Fisheye lens for Nikon F. Manual focus, full-frame, and ultra-wide angle. Shop now!

Overhaul your photographic experience with the Rokinon 12mm F2.8 Full Frame Fisheye Lens, a prime choice for Nikon F Mount users seeking to capture expansive 180-degree diagonal views. This ultra-wide-angle lens offers a distinct fisheye distortion that adds a dynamic perspective to architectural interiors, sweeping landscapes, and creative compositions in various photographic scenarios.With a bright f/2.8 maximum aperture, this lens excels in low-light conditions and provides a degree of control over depth of field, allowing for selective focus and bokeh effects. The advanced optical construction of the lens features 12 elements in 8 groups, including three low dispersion ED glass elements and two aspherical elements. These specialized components work in harmony to minimize coma, chromatic aberrations, and ensure edge-to-edge sharpness, as noted by satisfied users.The lens is further enhanced by a nanocrystal anti-reflection (NCS) coating, coupled with ultra multi-coating (UMC) treatments. These coatings significantly improve light transmission, reduce lens flare, and suppress ghosting, ensuring that your images are clear and vibrant.Despite being a manual focus lens, the inclusion of an AE chip provides the convenience of focus confirmation in the camera's viewfinder. This integration also facilitates the use of Auto exposure mode and P/A/S/M modes, streamlining your shooting process. The internal focus system maintains the lens' compact profile and prevents the front element from extending during focusing, preserving the lens' balance and handling.The lens boasts a wide, rubberized focus ring that allows for precise, one-finger manual focusing, as highlighted by user feedback. The focus ring's smooth operation is complemented by clearly marked aperture, distance, and depth of field scales on the durable metal barrel, aiding in quick and accurate adjustments.Designed for full-frame cameras, this 12mm lens also offers an 18mm equivalent focal length when mounted on APS-C format cameras, making it versatile for different sensor sizes. The removable petal-shaped lens hood included with the lens not only enhances its aesthetic but also provides additional protection and reduces unwanted light from entering the lens.Whether you're a professional photographer or an enthusiast looking to explore the unique effects of fisheye photography, the Rokinon 12mm F2.8 Fisheye Lens is a stellar addition to your gear, promising sharp, color-accurate images with a creative twist.

Using this with an Ursa Mini 4k and a BMPCC 6k Pro.  Although not a cine lens, it works well.  Comes out to about 18mm 35mm equivalent with an acceptable fisheye distortion for most work.  Focus can almost always stay at infinity for my work so no camera jitter from adjusting focus.  Great on a gimbal.  Has that Rokinon slightly soft beautiful video look.

Fits well for my work.

Landscapes edge sharpness

It really takes great shots. No need to spend the money on a Canon. All manual but easy to get used to. Quite sharp.

Nice lens

Great lens, performed as intended. No complaints

Great product

It’s a fun lens, and fair quality for the price. Would recommend this to anyone with a similar budget for a fisheye lens!

Rokinon 12mm Fisheye Lens for Sony Review

Trying to get used to the perspective of fisheye.  First one ever owned.  I've been playing with it for only a short period of time and so far I am impressed.
This is a very sharp lens and I can't wait to try long exposure night shots with it

Great little lens so far

Bought this to use in the waterhousing for surf photography.  I am surprised that it works pretty darn good good for a manual lens for sports/action.

Surprised

This is a great 12mm FX lens at a great price. Acuity, contrast, color all first rate. Low distortion for a 12. Nothing to hold you back from saving money and getting a no compromise 12mm.  Note: It is manual focus. For this working pro, that is no big deal as DoF is so big (as with all superwides).Just buy it if you need 12mm.

Sam/Rok 12mm F2.8

I bought this to go with my A7RII.  Of course, it is a manual lense but I was pleasantly surprised that it works with the focus assist in my camera.  Appears to be sharp, maybe a little soft on the edges, but is a good lens at a nice price. Adorama was very quick to fill the order and send it out for quick delivery.

Very satisfied with this purchase

to be honest,  my expectations were low going into this purchase based on previous Rokinon experiences, This particular lens has really impressed me. it’s build quality is solid and i’ve come to love the manual nature of this lens. if you are worried about the lack of autofocus, for me, it isn’t missed. C’mon, if you cant tell when something is in focus or not maybe photography isn’t your thing (haha), because of the super wide nature of this lens it’s really easy to focus IMO. my copy is sharp throughout the frame, even at the corners. it’s super fun getting creative with this lens.

i’m impressed!

This item was returned

Love it! Great lens, easy to manual focus. Use focus peaking or zoom in. I am a university photography professor. Quality is very good and it is very sharp.

Great Fisheye Lens! Definitely Recommended!

Definitely would recommend buying this lens. I use it on my Nikon D610 and I am very happy with the results. At F22 you basically cant take an out of focus picture and the star bursts from this lens are simply amazing. The only way you could possibly make this better is if you put in autofocus or in camera aperture control but neither of those are big factors for how I shoot at night. See examples of my fisheye photos with this lens at www.ZariaGPhotography.com

Solid heavy metal build, sharp focus, handles lens flare well, star bursts at night are amazing! A nust have lens!

Optics are great. If you like fisheye distortion this one is somewhat mild compared to some others and holds sharpness to the edges stopped down a notch or two. Stopped down to f8 and hyperfocal focused it becomes point and shoot. The grease used for the focus ring is perfect... one finger focus is possible. I use a sony A7RII and mostly legacy Nikon glass so I ordered this in nikon mount to get the smallest size for the camera bag.  If you don't want curved lines go with the 14mm Rokinon. I like it equally well but more caution is needed when focusing and selecting aperture combinations for good edge sharpness.

Sweet

I have the Rokinon 24mm f 1.4 lens for night photos using my full frame Canon 5d Mark III so am used to the manual lens. I wanted a wider lens also for night photography so this fit the bill. It is fisheye so I defish the photo in Photoshop for landscapes in the horizontal orientation.  For vertical orientation, the defish is mostly unnecessary because the distortion is minimal. The photos are very sharp with some distortion on the vignette edges. The focus is accurate at infinity, unlike my 24mms lens so I don't have to tape it in place.  It is a great lens, especially for the price.

great lens

Great price and solid build.  Available under 3 different company  names.  I tested it indoors and outdoors. The manual focus was fine because anything over 3 feet is set to infinity. The manual F-stop was no big deal.  I returned it because it was not very sharp when zoomed in to 100%.  Adorama made the exchange simple.  I purchased the Canon 8-15mm Fisheye.  After extensive testing, the Canon has a zoom, has auto-focus, F-stop is controlled by the camera, and it is sharper (although 3x the price).

Great price and Build but notT super sharp

Great little lens..  I purchased one for my Sony A7r 2 and one for my Canon 5Ds..
