The Rokinon 8mm T3.1 Cine Fisheye is a manual-focus prime for APS-C cameras that gives a 180° field of view, roughly 12mm in full-frame terms. Its cine build sets it apart from the stills version: geared focus and aperture rings for follow focuses, and a de-clicked aperture for silent iris pulls. Three extra-low dispersion and two aspherical elements plus UMC coating hold down chromatic aberration, flare and ghosting. It suits video shooters who want a wide fisheye look for interiors, architecture and music videos without paying cine-prime money.

Owners treat it as a solid budget cine fisheye: sharp in the center, well built, and the geared, de-clicked rings are the main draw over the stills version. Complaints center on soft corners wide open, strong distortion and the all-manual workflow.
The Rokinon Cine 8mm T3.1 is a prime fisheye lens designed for APS-C sized image sensors. This version is for Sony E mount. It gives a 35mm-equivalent focal length of 12mm and a full 180° angle of view, and suits creative work as well as interior and architectural subjects.
The optical design uses three extra-low dispersion elements and two aspherical elements to reduce chromatic aberrations and distortion. A UMC coating on the lens elements improves light transmission and reduces surface reflections, flare and ghosting. A built-in lens hood also helps limit flare. The fast T3.1 maximum aperture helps when working in low light.
The cine design has geared aperture and focus rings that work with standard follow focuses. The aperture ring is de-clicked, so iris changes are smooth and quiet during recording.
