Rokinon FE8M-N 8mm F3.5 User Reviews

Great Purchase
“The lens take excellent, super-wide shots and I love the distortion it gives when you’re within inches of an object. Works great with the music video work I do and even give my documentary footage a special flair. I’m going to have a lot of fun with this lens. ” – By Damon

8mm Fisheye lens
“Just got the Rokinon 8mm Fisheye lens for my Sony A700. What a fantastic lens!.. The camera will automatically adjust the shutter speed and ISO to suit the lighting conditions! Most of the exposures will be spot on and extremely sharp from inches away to infinity.” – By Kscharf

Quality lens for a good price
“I bought the Rokinon 8mm fisheye to use with my Sony Alpha 55 camera. I am very pleased with this lens. It is surprisingly sharp and generates no chromatic aberraton to speak of. It is fun to be forced to do everything manually, and its fisheye characteristics provide an interesting new way to perceive the world.” – By Rodavan

A great lense for the price
“Now if you’re really really cheap you could also get one of those fisheyes that screws onto the front of a normal lens, but I assure you the results you get from that will pale in comparison to a real DSLR fisheye lens. So in between the cheap fisheye attachments and the super expensive professional grade ones out there, this is an excellent balance between quality and affordability.” – By Alexander Gross

Great Manual Lens! Detailed Review
“it is a great lens for the price; very solid, feels nice, looks good. Definitely worth it if your want to give fisheye a try without breaking the bank.. his is a fully MANUAL lens. You have to manually set the aperature and focus on the lens – NOT through the camera.” – By Mark Petry

An underrated great lens from Samyang
“The performance of this lens has surprised a lot of critics including Ken Rockwell and photozone. If you are out there shooting with fisheye, you definitely should not mind about manual focus and manual aperture.” – By E. Hung

Waaay better than the peleng
“It doesn’t darkens the corners or produce vignetting effect AT ALL! The quality in the final pictures is superb, the pictures are crisp sharp even in the edges! Unlinke the peleng lens, the rokinon does fill the entire frame of the picture with no empty corners.” – By G. Cerpa

Best of the “affordable” Fisheyes I’ve found
“On digital cameras with a crop-factor (like the Canon Rebel series, XXD series and even 7D), this can sometimes result in what looks like a circle with the top and bottom cut off.. not the most enjoyable image. That’s where this one comes in – the Rokinon produced a rectangular fisheye image – there is no “circle” as with other types of fisheye lenses, but you still get that great fisheye look (distortions and all).” – By MiRSD

Pretty Good for price
“This lens is a neat little toy; it has a very wide FOV good for artistic shots or shots where you really want to capture the atmosphere. Of course has manual focus only. Don’t bother using it at max aperture (f/3.5) – it has pretty bad contrast and not so good color detail, but the next stop (5.6) improves greatly. Your camera’s buit-in flash will not properly illuminate what you’re taking a picture of (obviously) so if you are inside you will definitely need an external flash with a diffuser, unless you are planning on using a tripod and taking a picture of something very still. Sharpness could be better – i was a little disappointed by that. But there probably aren’t many other options for this type of lens to choose from.” – by T. Fox
