Product Information
Bring your photo subjects up-close and personal with this great fish-eye lens from Rokinon. The Rokinon 8mm f/3.5 Aspherical Lens for Nikon is a great addition to any photographers’ selection of lenses. This 8mm lens is designed to work perfectly with any type of manual Nikon camera and provide excellent performance. The lens features four petals on the outside edge to protect the glass and assist the user in focusing the lens. The petals are solid and are not to be removed, as they are an integral component of the Nikon cameras’ lens. The Rokinon 8mm lens is designed for Nikon SLR cameras and is a manual focus, which is the best way to focus a fish-eye lens. Fisheye lenses are made to give rounded and curvy looks to subjects; images on the sides of the photo usually look smaller than objects in the middle. Fisheye lenses have the ability to shoot objects at a minimum focusing distance to produce sharp, clear photos. The Rokinon 8mm f/3.5 Aspherical Lens for Nikon is called “aspherical” due to its’ ability to reduce spherical aberration. This Rokinon lens for Nikon is crafted to produce images that are high in contrast and are color accurate. A large glass aspherical lens is more difficult to manufacture than a spherical lens. That is why this type of lens is not usually seen on low quality cameras. Hybrid aspherical lenses with multi-layer coating, such as Rokinon lenses, produce sharp images with significantly less flare or ghosting. Specs of this lens are impressive; this ultra-wide-angle Rokinon lens is designed to be easy to use with any SLR Nikon camera. The aperture control design of this lens features an aperture ring. The real angle of view of this lens is 180 degrees. The 8mm fish-eye lens features a focal length of 12 inches for beautiful close-up photography. Using the concept of depth-of-field will provide the ability to produce exaggerated perspective with APS-C Nikon cameras. Rokinon lenses are designed to mount to almost any Nikon camera and to focus flawlessly. The Rokinon 8mm f/3.5 Aspherical Lens for Nikon is compact; measuring 2.95x2.95x3.03 inches and weighing just .43 pounds, it can easily be stowed in a pocket, compartment or pouch. This version of the Rokinon lenses for Nikon, allows the user to easily bring dramatic effects into even a beginners skill inventory. Wide-angle fish-eye lenses are fun to use and offer an incredible range of subject matter. Landscapes or even portraits are given interesting perspectives using the Rokinon 8mm f/3.5 Aspherical Lens For Nikon. Adding this versatile and functional lens to a collection of high quality lenses will give the professional, or the amateur photographer, years of enjoyment.Product Identifiers

Different and fun
This (Rokinon 8mm) fish-eye lens is way different than any "normal" lens you've used. Its really wide angle of view allows you to capture everything in front of you. You can get creative by moving up close, down low or up high to obtain unusual photos. It's a fun lens. The photos I took are extremely sharp. Although it's a manual focus, using the distance dial indicator on the lens is easy. It is also very forgiving - and setting it at infinity gets everything farther than 5 feet in focus. The model I bought had the Aperture chip which provides exposure feed-back to the camera allowing for quick and accurate exposure on my camera (Nikon D5300). This is a great a lens for the money.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Fun Fisheye to Use!
This is the third Rokinon lens I've purchased, and it is built well. The 8mm AE Nikon lens performs well and takes great shots, just need to watch out so I don't photograph my feet! A good lens to hone my manual photography skills. Works OK for astrophotography for capturing full starry skies.

Nice lens for playing around with 8mm.
This lens provides a more cost effective way to explore extreme wide angle photography. Just be prepared for images framed in circles. Much fun!Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Well made lens for when you need it.
What a great lens. As I read in reviews I shoot with this lens in 5.6, but with my "dinosaur monster" D2x, this awesome find works well in 3.5. I have pulled some really good color out of this glass as well as some sharp black and white. Rokinon glass is rapidly becoming part of my arsenal.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Really Nice Fisheye!
It's a fisheye, so you have to use it as such. This lens works really well inside big buildings, like churches. There is image-correcting software for this lens, which helps, but not more than barely. You might not think a Korean lens is quality: if so, be prepared for a surprise.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
