Rokinon 8mm f/3.5 HD Fisheye Overview

The Sony E- mount 8mm f/3.5 UMC Fisheye CS II Lens is a prime fisheye lens designed for APS-C sized image sensors. Providing a 35mm-equivalent focal length of 12mm and a 180° angle of view, this lens is well-suited for creative applications as well as interior and architectural subjects.

One hybrid aspherical element has been incorporated into the optical design to minimize chromatic aberrations and distortion in order to produce sharper images. Additionally, the lens' design features a built-in lens hood and a UMC coating has been applied to the lens elements to reduce surface reflections and prevent lens flare and ghosting for improved light transmission and more contrast-rich imagery.

180° rectilinear fisheye lens provides a 35mm-equivalent focal length of 12mm, making it ideally suited for interior and architectural subjects.
One hybrid aspherical element reduces chromatic aberrations and distortions in order to produce sharper images.
UMC coating improves light transmission and suppresses lens flare and ghosting for more contrast-rich, color-neutral images.
Removable lens hood also helps to reduce lens flare and surface reflections.

question

This lens has black edges on the sides with the Sony A6300 ?
Asked by: bruno f.
If you are looking for a round image surrounded by a black rectangle, you need a full frame camera. There are no known lenses that can do that with an APS-C camera.

Will this fit the Sony VG30h without any adapters? Is it virtually the same as the Rokinon 8mm f/3.5 E Mount fisheye that has the unremovable lens hood? That's what I'm looking for...
Asked by: Anonymous
The Rokinon 8mm f/3.5 UMC Fish-Eye CS II Lens for Sony E Mount is compatible with the Sony VG30 without the need of an adapter. It would be pretty much the same as the version with the built-in lens hood.

question

On a Sony A7iii will this produce a circular image with black borders?
Asked by: Anonymous
It will because this is a crop-sensor fisheye as opposed to full-frame like the A7 series is. I use it on my A7RII and I just use it on video mode and zoom in past the vignetting, but I also take photos with it that have the vignetting and just crop it out in post. You can get a full-frame version of this lens from Rokinon, it's just a bit more expensive.
