Designed for shooting HD video, it features a silent iris ring for smooth iris pulls and both the focus and iris rings have built-in gears to accommodate follow focus and iris motors. The lens features an internal focus design which keeps the front of the lens from turning as focus is changed.
8mm T3.8 HD Fisheye
The optical design consists of 10 elements in 7 groups with 1 aspherical element to deliver a crisp image with minimal chromatic aberrations across the imaging field. The lens has an aperture range of T3.8 to 22, and you can close focus down to 12 inches from the image plane.
The new Rokinon HD Cine 8mm T3.8 Fisheye Lens features new and improved HD optics for higher resolution and sharper images. The hood is also removable on this new HD version. This lens is made specifically with videographers in mind. The aperture is de-clicked for quiet, smooth & continuous aperture changes. The lens is also geared for follow-focus. The Rokinon Cine 8mm HD Fisheye lens can also be used for still photography. Keep in mind that the lens is designed for digital SLR cameras with APS-C image sensors. For these types of cameras, it provides full-frame coverage - which means that pictures will cover the entire frame. It is also compatible with cameras that have a full-frame sensor. When the hood is removed for cameras with full-frame sensors, the lens will produce pictures with a semi-circular image and close images will appear proportionately large for a dramatic effect. The ROKINON 8mm lens creates images with an expanded and exaggerated perspective and an extremely wide 180° angle of view.
