Does the Tokina SZ 8mm F2.8 autofocus?

No. It is a fully manual lens, so you focus by turning the ring. Sony bodies with focus peaking and magnification make this easier.

Will it work on a full-frame Sony camera?

It is designed for APS-C Sony E-mount bodies. On full frame you would get a circular image with heavy vignetting, so it is best used on crop-frame cameras.

How close can it focus?

The minimum focus distance is 0.3 ft, with a 1:10 magnification ratio. That lets you get very close to a subject for a dramatic fisheye look.

Is the price of $329 at Adorama a good one?

Three stores list it new, and $329 at Adorama as of November 7, 2026 is the best new price among them. Compare against the other listings before buying.

Expect the lens, front and rear caps, and a case. Check the listing for the exact bundle, since some stores add extras.

Is it good for video?

It can work for video, but manual focus and no stabilization mean you need a steady hand or a gimbal. The fast f/2.8 aperture helps in low light.
