Rokinon RK8MV-NEX 8mm T3.8 Cine Fisheye Lens - Sony E-Mount

The Rokinon 8mm T3.8 Cine Fisheye lens is a video-optimized version of the well-regarded Rokinon 8mm F/3.5 fisheye, sharing the same multi-element optical design while adding features that videographers demand. The de-clicked aperture ring is the headline upgrade, allowing smooth and silent aperture transitions from T3.8 to T22 without the click stops that would cause jarring exposure shifts in footage. The use of T-stop markings instead of F-stops means exposure settings reflect actual light reaching the sensor, making it easier to match this lens with other cine glass on multi-lens shoots.

Mounted on Sony E-mount APS-C cameras, the lens delivers a full 180-degree diagonal field of view with edge-to-edge coverage, ideal for immersive establishing shots, action footage, skateboarding and extreme sports content, real estate interiors, and creative music video work. On full-frame Sony bodies, it produces a dramatic circular fisheye image that can be used for artistic effect or cropped in post. Focus is fully manual with a smooth, well-damped focus ring that suits follow-focus rigs. This is a specialty optic by nature — the extreme barrel distortion and ultra-wide perspective make it a powerful creative tool, but it is not intended to replace a standard wide-angle lens for everyday shooting.
