Product description
Discuss in the Third Party Lens Talk forum
The Samyang (branded as Rokinon in the U.S.) 8mm f/3.5 Aspherical IF MC Fish-eye is a manual focus lens for cameras with APS-C sensors. It's a 'diagonal' fisheye, meaning it offers a 180 degree diagonal angle of view and illuminates the entire frame. The lens construction uses 10 elements in 7 groups, including an aspherical hybrid lens. The manually-set aperture consists of six blades and can be closed to f/22. Two models are available, one with a built-in hood, while the other has a detachable hood and adds 'DH' to its name.
