Our take on the Rokinon 8mm F3.5 Fisheye

The Rokinon 8mm F3.5 is a manual-focus fisheye lens that gives APS-C cameras a roughly 180° diagonal view with strong barrel distortion. On full-frame or 35mm film it throws a circular image with dark corners. It uses hybrid aspherical elements and multilayer coating to keep images sharp and cut flare, focuses as close as 12 inches, and has a built-in petal hood. It has no electronic contacts, so autofocus and metering are up to you. It suits landscape, skate and architecture shooters who want a fisheye look for little money; rivals with autofocus and camera communication cost far more.

Pros

  • Sharp, well-defined images from hybrid aspherical elements
  • Multilayer coating limits flare and ghosting
  • Close focus of about 12 inches for near-subject shots
  • Built-in petal hood
Cons

What reviewers say

  • 4.6 / 590 ratings

Owners rate it highly for the money, praising its sharpness and the dramatic fisheye effect. The main complaints are the all-manual operation and the vignetted image on full-frame bodies.

What people mention
  • SharpnessPraisedOwners say images come out sharp and well defined, especially stopped down.
  • Manual focusMixedFocusing is entirely by hand, which some find slow but others accept for the price.
  • DistortionPraisedBuyers want the exaggerated fisheye look and say it delivers it.
  • Full-frame useCriticisedOn full-frame and 35mm film it gives a round image with heavy vignetting.
  • BuildPraisedOwners describe the lens as solid, with a useful built-in petal hood.
  • MeteringCriticisedWith no electronic contacts, exposure has to be set manually.

About the Rokinon 8mm F3.5 Fisheye

The Rokinon 8mm F3.5 Fisheye is an ultra-wide diagonal fisheye lens with an angle of view of approximately 180° and an exaggerated perspective. On an APS-C camera it fills the frame. On a full-frame digital or 35mm film camera it produces a circular, vignetted image that floats in the frame and does not cover the whole sensor or film area.

The optical design has 10 glass elements in 7 groups, including hybrid aspherical elements. An ultra multi-coating reduces flare and ghost images. A built-in petal-shaped lens hood is part of the lens.

Focusing is manual. The lens has no electronic connections for autofocus or metering. It focuses as close as 11.8" (0.3 m).

Questions and answers

Does autofocus work on this lens?
No. It is manual focus only and has no electronic connection to the camera, so you focus by turning the ring.
Will it meter exposure through the camera?
No. There is no metering communication, so you set exposure manually or use stopped-down metering.
What does it look like on a full-frame camera?
It produces a circular image with dark, vignetted corners instead of filling the frame. On APS-C it covers the frame with a roughly 180° diagonal view.
How close can it focus?
The minimum focusing distance is about 12 inches (30.48 cm), which allows close-up fisheye shots.
Is the hood removable?
No. The petal lens hood is built in.
Is it worth it over a fisheye with autofocus?
If you want the fisheye look on a budget and can focus manually, it is a strong value. Autofocus fisheyes cost much more but are easier to use.
