Your cart is empty.The new Rokinon HD Cine 8mm T3.8 Fisheye Lens features new and improved HD optics for higher resolution and sharper images. The hood is also removable on this new HD version. This lens is made specifically with videographers in mind. The aperture is de-clicked for quiet, smooth & continuous aperture changes. The lens is also geared for follow-focus. The Rokinon Cine 8mm HD Fisheye lens can also be used for still photography. Keep in mind that the lens is designed for digital SLR cameras with APS-C image sensors. For these types of cameras, it provides full-frame coverage - which means that pictures will cover the entire frame. It is also compatible with cameras that have a full-frame sensor. When the hood is removed for cameras with full-frame sensors, the lens will produce pictures with a semi-circular image and close images will appear proportionately large for a dramatic effect. The ROKINON 8mm lens creates images with an expanded and exaggerated perspective and an extremely wide 180° angle of view.

I order this lens in July for an event my son had coming up. It says it has shipped and I still have not received them item. They had said the item shipped and I had received a full refund but still have yet to see the lens which he needs. Would not recommend ordering from this company at this time. If they make this right I will gladly give an update.

Rokinon offers a great product line. Well made. Durable. Perfect for the professional filmmaker with a low budget.I wish only they had a full 180 degree lens for the Canon Super35 sensors.

I own a Canon 7D and 30D (both cropped sensor cameras). Most of my other lenses are Canon "L" series.I purchased this lens strictly to use during an upcoming vacation to the Grand Canyon and Moab, Utah.Canon's approximate equivalent would be the Canon 14mm f/2.8 L or the 8-15mm f/4 L ($2,100 and $1,300 respectively).Now I never really thought this lens would compete with the Canon "luxury" lenses; and this lens does not processauto focus or exposure; both are manual. That's no big deal to me as I was brought up using a hand held Luna Pro.And now using camera's with digital media, it's fairly simply. One or two test shots at the most to get the right shot.Just remember the "sunny 16" rule.If it's sunny outside, then set the speed to approximately match the DIN/ASA (film speed), and set the f/stop at 16, andyou will get an expectable photo.I tested this lens against two Canon lenses; a 17-55mm EF-S lens and a 16-35mm EF-L lens. Both of my current Canon lenses,regardless of whether it was a EF-S or EF-L, gave sharp images at infinity.The ROKINON gave consistently non sharp, fuzzy edged images at infinity and was hard to properly focus up close.The build quality appears good.The lens hood fits great and will protect the curved lens front.I didn't like the feel of the aperture and focus rings; they were uncomfortable to grasp because of the sharp edges.If you don't enlarge your photos by anything over 8x10, then this lens will probably work.I sent mine back and will wait for another Canon promotion and buy another "L" series lens.Yes, Canon lenses are pricey, but......you get what you pay for. Sorry about that.

You can't beat Rokinon lenses for the price.Not only that, but the manual focus and aperture are actually better than high dollar brand-name auto-focus lenses for many applications, particularly DSLR filmmaking and time lapse work. That's why I own 6 Rokinon lenses, even though many of them duplicate my Canon lenses.There's not much to complain about here. Manual focus is long throw, and more precise than trying to manually focus an auto-focus lens.I see some reviews online where the reviewer complains about lack of electronics for focus confirmation. (Electronic focus confirmation is an available option in Rokinon Nikon mount products.)I think this is nonsense, something said by people who were born after auto focus became dominant, because of lack of experience and confidence. The opinion is also rooted, or supported, because lenses today are generally slower than in the past, a design economy made possible by higher ISO digital sensors.Auto focus is less reliable with a fast lens because of more shallow depth of field. Depth of field covers up focusing errors, but at the cost of putting a damper on creativity.These Rokinons are fast lenses, with large apertures and extremely shallow depth of field. In other words, perfect for anyone who is serious about the craft of photography and video and who understands what it takes to have exacting control of an image.Sure, I wish I owned Zeiss still lenses, or better yet Zeiss CP.2 cine variants. Or best of all, the emerging Zeiss Otus lenses. But until then, these Rokinons can really bring home the bacon. Given the choice of being a doer or a dreamer, get the Rokinons today.BTW - I believe the cine Rokinons are worth the extra money.
