Fisheye 8 mm T3.8 for Nikon F

This Rokinon cine lens delivers a 180° field of view on full-frame and APS-C sensors. The 8 mm focal length creates pronounced fisheye distortion without extra optics or post-processing. It is built for HD video with a silent iris ring and geared focus and iris rings for follow-focus systems.

Check Nikon F mount and sensor coverage

The lens uses a Nikon F camera mount and covers both full-frame and APS-C formats. Confirm your camera body accepts F-mount lenses and that the 8 mm focal length suits your intended field of view. The removable Tulip hood is included but can be detached for filter use or matte-box clearance.

Upgrade from standard wide-angle zooms

This prime replaces variable-aperture zooms when you need consistent T3.8 exposure and cine-style geared rings. The 10-element, 7-group design with one aspherical element reduces chromatic aberration across the frame. The jump is worth it for narrative work that demands repeatable focus pulls and silent aperture changes.

Questions about this item

Does the 8mm fisheye arrive with its tulip hood, or must I purchase that separately?

The removable tulip hood is included in the box, so no extra purchase is needed for it.

Is the T3.8 version the only aperture option, or are there faster or slower variants in this series?

This model has a fixed maximum aperture of T3.8 with a range down to T22; other maximum apertures are not offered for this focal length.

What does the 180° field of view actually cover on a Nikon full-frame sensor versus an APS-C body?

On full frame it delivers a circular 180° image; on APS-C the same lens produces a cropped fisheye view with the same distortion character.
