Review on Rokinon Ultra Fisheye EF DSLR Cameras by Josh Whitehead

Revainrating 3 out of 5

not very good for photography. didn't try to make a video.

I'm not a fan of video. The reason I wanted to try this lens was because it was eighty dollars cheaper than the 12mm f2.8 photo version, which looked like an identical twin. I wanted to use it for photography. Well folks, these two lenses are not the same! Two main differences: 1. The cine model has no chip, your camera will not recognize it. there is a chip in the photo version for nikon and my cameras (d750 and d5100) recognize it. 2. On the d750 you can set up a custom lens for this in aperture priority mode, but you'll have to settle for the standard 13mm camera rather than the true 12mm as long as the camera sees the model at 12mm. With the same setting, the model looks much faster.

Pros
  • Lenses for cameras
Cons
  • Tape
