A Great Price

A great price. Corners are not as sharp, however you would need to spend much more to get a super sharp image. It does a decent job for 360 light maps.

Amazing Fisheye

I've been wanting a fisheye lens for so long I finally found the one! It is affordable, small enough to fit everywhere and the image quality of the photos are amazing! I use it mostly to take long exposure photos at night, nightclubs and parties at night (concerts and stuff), and some street photography as well. 100% recommend this lens to anybody looking to give their photos a different yet wonderful perspective!

Great fish eye lens. You do have to practice figuring out the focus settings, at first.

Great little lens!!!!

I love this lens, very fun to play with. A fisheye photo is much more interesting. You can take close ups or landscapes and they turn out great!!!!! I put off getting a fisheye lens for years and now wish I had done it sooner.

An interesting way to view

This lens brings nice depth, combined with the Sony A7S, but the pictures are slightly noisy in close deatail as compared to the use of other lenses. Not sure if this is an issue with the lens or only in combination with this camera. Overall, I enjoy the shots I get for videos, and would recommend it for anyone looking a good panorama lens.

Great fish eye lens. You do have to practice figuring out the focus settings, at first.

After extensive research and development, the Rokinon 8mm f/2.8 UMC Series II Fish-Eye Black Lens for Sony E-mount emerges as a superior ultra-wide-angle lens, meticulously crafted for compact system cameras. This lens offers an expansive 180-degree field of view, equivalent to a 12mm field of view in 35mm format, transforming your photography experience with its immersive perspective.

Designed as a diagonal fisheye lens for APS-C format, the Rokinon 8mm lens delivers images that fill the frame on APS-C cameras, creating striking and dynamic compositions. This manual focus lens is compact and lightweight, making it an ideal companion for your compact system cameras.

The lens boasts an intricate optical construction of 10 lens elements arranged in 8 groups, including 1 ASP and 2 ED elements. This design ensures optimal optical performance, delivering sharp, high-quality images. The lens features an aperture range from f/2.8 to f/22, facilitated by six diaphragm blades, offering flexibility in various lighting conditions.

The Rokinon 8mm fisheye lens incorporates an Internal Focusing (IF) system, ensuring the lens maintains its compact size even when adjusting focus. The lens also features the latest generation multilayer anti-reflection ultra multi-coating (UMC) to minimize lens flare and ghosting, enhancing image clarity and contrast. The integrated lens hood further reduces flare, ensuring your images are always at their best.

With its large depth of field, achieving focus with this lens is a breeze. Simply set the approximate distance on the lens scale, and you're ready to shoot sharp images from close objects to infinity. For critical or close focus situations, you can use Live-View to fine-tune the focus manually.

The Rokinon 8mm f/2.8 fisheye lens is not just a lens; it's a creative tool capable of producing stunning panoramas and 360 virtual tours. With the use of various third-party software, you can create full 360-degree images, adding a unique dimension to your photography.

When used with an APS-C camera, this lens provides a dramatic, exaggerated wide-angle perspective. Alternatively, when paired with a full-frame digital camera or 35mm film camera, it produces a powerful circular image floating in the frame. Please note that a rounded image will be produced when used with full-frame sensors.

Experience the world through a different lens with the Rokinon 8mm f/2.8 UMC Series II Fish-Eye Black Lens for Sony E-mount, and let your creativity soar.
