Update to the Original. Compared to the original Rokinon 8mm f/2.8 UMC Fisheye for Sony E, the version II offers improved optics and a slightly wider manual focus ring.

Rectilinear Fisheye. Provides a 180º angle of view that covers the entire image frame. Please note this lens is designed for APS-sized sensors, so full-frame shooters will want to look elsewhere.

Fast Aperture. Its f/2.8 aperture enables image capture in low light, but you’ll want to stop down a bit to get better corner sharpness.

Optics. Three extra-low dispersion elements and two aspherical elements help to minimize chromatic aberrations and contain distortions that affect image quality. Please understand that there’s still quite a bit of distortion; after all, this is a fisheye lens.

Fully Manual. This lens provides no electronic communication with the camera. You must manually make all aperture and focus adjustments on the lens itself. The aperture selected won’t be displayed on the camera, and it won’t show up in the EXIF data.
