Review on πŸ“· Rokinon RK8MBK28-E 8mm F2.8 UMC Fisheye II Fixed Lens for Sony E-Mount (NEX) Cameras - Black by Kayla Moore

Revainrating 4 out of 5

A good fisheye lens for those on a budget

This 8mm F2.8 UMC Fisheye II Lens (Black) for Fuji X-Mount is a very worthy solution for Fuji photographers on a budget. It's well built (all metal except for the plastic lens hood) and offers a 180-degree field of view on an APS-C camera. If you're careful to focus at distances smaller than infinity, you should get a fairly large depth of field to infinity. The only downside, at least for a pixel lover like me, is that it's not as sharp as OEM lenses, especially the excellent Fujinon XF optics. Most photographers should like it though, as good results can be achieved with careful post-processing. This is a fun lens, although not "overzealous" as not every subject lends itself to "fisheye processing"!

Pros
  • 8mm prime; Fisheye Lens
Cons
