Our take on the Samyang 8mm T/3.8 Fisheye Cine Lens for Nikon

A manual-focus circular fisheye cine lens for Nikon F mount, with a T/3.8 aperture and geared focus and aperture rings for follow-focus rigs. It gives a full 180-degree circular image on full-frame sensors and a wider-than-diagonal fisheye look on APS-C. At $278.99 at eBay as of November 7, 2026, it sits at the low end of its recent range, well under the $400-$500 it often sold for new.

Best forLow-budget filmmakers wanting a fisheye lookMusic video and skate/surf shootsNikon DSLR or mirrorless shooters with an adapterOwners of follow-focus rigs who want geared rings
Pros
  • True 180-degree circular fisheye on full frame
  • Geared focus and aperture rings suit follow-focus setups
  • T/3.8 is fast enough for indoor and dusk shots
  • Solid metal barrel for the price
  • Cheap way to add a fisheye to a cine kit
Cons
  • Manual focus and manual aperture only, no electronics
  • No autofocus confirmation or EXIF data on Nikon bodies
  • Strong barrel distortion is the point, not a flaw to fix
  • Soft corners wide open and noticeable flare in direct sun
  • Focus ring travel is long, which slows quick pulls

Questions and answers

Does it work on a Nikon Z or Sony body?
Only with an adapter. It is a Nikon F mount lens with no electronics, so a simple manual adapter is enough on mirrorless cameras.
Is it full frame or APS-C?
It covers full frame and gives a circular 180-degree image there. On APS-C the circle is cropped and the effect is less extreme.
Can I use autofocus or auto exposure?
No. Focus and aperture are set by hand, and the camera will not record aperture in EXIF. You meter in manual or aperture priority with the ring set.
Is $278.99 a good price?
It is at the low end of what this lens has sold for new, which has run roughly $300 to $500. At eBay as of November 7, 2026, it is a fair buy if you want the cine version.
What is in the box?
The lens, front and rear caps, and usually a soft pouch. A lens hood is built in because of the fisheye front element.
