Rokinon RK8MV 8mm T3.8 Cine Fisheye Lens

The Rokinon® 8mm T/3.8 Fish Eye HD Cine Lens (Model RK8MV) is a Fisheye lens with a 180° field of view for use on cameras and camcorders. This model is available in the following mount option: RK8MV-C (Canon EF mount).

This lens provides the signature fisheye distortion on full frame and APS-C sized sensors, without having to add additional optics or post production image processing that can severely degrade image quality. 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.

The optical design of the Rokinon RK8MV 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.

Rokinon 8mm T3.8 Fisheye Lens Features:

• 180° fisheye lens is ideally suited for creative applications.
• One hybrid aspherical element reduces chromatic aberrations and distortions in order to produce sharper images.
• UMC coating improves light transmission and suppresses lens flare and ghosting for more contrast-rich, color-neutral images.
• Geared aperture and focus rings are compatible with standard follow focuses for greater control over adjustment.
• De-clicked aperture ring facilitates smooth, quiet exposure adjustments during recording.
• A removable petal-type lens hood is included to help minimize flare by deflecting stray light from entering the lens.
