Samyang 8mm T/3.8 Fisheye Cine Lens for Nikon
Key Features
  • Designed for DSLR Video Shooting
  • Ideal with APS-C Sensors
  • De-clicked Aperture
  • 180º Angle of View
Thanks to its smooth, de-clicked aperture and ideal focal length, the 8mm T/3.8 Fisheye Cine Lens for Nikon from Samyang is a great lens for shooting video with your DSLR camera. It is designed to shoot with APS-C image sensors, for which it provides full frame coverage, creating an expanded perspective that covers the entire frame. For DSLR's with a full frame sensor, this lens will produce pictures with a semi-circular image and close-ups will appear proportionately large for a dramatic effect. Its de-clicked aperture range runs from T/3.8 to T/22, providing a smooth, silent, jump-free transition when shooting video and its multi-layered, anti-reflective UMC coated lenses allow for clean light transmission and razor sharp images. Toothed focusing, aperture rings and bright, white numbering make controlling your image all the easier.

question

What does the Cine version mean if I would only use it for still photography? Is there any disadvantage with that use?
Asked by: Anonymous
While you could use this lens for photography, there would be no advantage to doing so. There would not be any disadvantage either, however you would be paying for additional features like a de-clicked aperture and gear rings that simply are not needed for photos. You would be better off looking at B&H # RO835N instead. https://bhpho.to/2ekpGpu
