Fisheye lens for Sony E-mount

The Rokinon 8mm T/3.8 Fisheye Cine Lens mounts directly to Sony E-mount cameras and camcorders. It delivers a 180° field of view on full-frame and APS-C sensors with a fixed focal length of 8 mm. The optical design uses 10 glass elements in 7 groups including one aspherical element and Ultra Multi Coating to minimise chromatic aberration.

Upgrade from add-on converters

This lens replaces clip-on fisheye adapters or post-production cropping that degrade resolution and introduce softness. The jump is worth it when you need native edge-to-edge coverage with accurate T-stop exposure control from T/3.8 to T/22. Internal focusing prevents the front element from rotating during focus pulls, and geared focus and iris rings accept standard follow-focus gear.

Suited for HD video creators

Videographers who require silent iris pulls, consistent gear pitch and close focus to 12 inches will benefit from the cine-oriented controls. Photographers needing autofocus, electronic aperture communication or a rectilinear wide-angle view should look at a different lens design. The removable tulip hood and included caps and pouch complete the package.

Questions about this item

What Sony E-mount cameras does the 8 mm fisheye cover without vignetting?

The lens covers APS-C and Four Thirds sensors with a 180° field of view on both formats.

How do I mount the lens and avoid damaging the focus gear?

Align the white index dot on the barrel with the mount dot on the camera, twist until it clicks, then check that the focus ring turns freely before attaching a follow-focus gear.

When should I replace the front element coating or the iris blades?

The Ultra Multi coating is durable; clean with a blower and microfibre cloth only. The six-blade iris is internal and not user-serviceable — seek professional repair if aperture movement becomes uneven.
