  • So far, so good
Style: Nikon
But it hasn't been that far - just got the lens today and shot some quick test shots. The reason I'm writing this review (which I will update at another time with some specific remarks about the lens regarding quality, handling, etc.) is to clarify something that was making me crazy as I researched it. FYI, all of my tests were on a Nikon D750, but I see no reason this lens won't work on any of the Nikon's made in the past 5 years or so. This is a Nikon-compatible lens with an AE chip. It is strictly a manual focus lens (no auto-focus), and you can find lots of references to the fact that the AE chip will interface with your Nikon (as long as you're using in in A/M/S or P modes), and the viewfinder info bar will tell you when you're in focus as you turn the focus ring. You'll also be told that unless you set your aperture to F/22, you'll get an "EE" error. Ok, that's straightforward enough, and very true. :) Dig a little further, and you'll find references to the lens being recognized by the Nikon camera while in the A/M/S/P modes (also true), and the EXIF of the picture containing the lens information, along with other stuff, just like any other compatible lens (again, also true). Unfortunately... after that, you get a bunch of conflicting posts, reviews and information about controlling the aperture with the Nikon dial. Most tell you it doesn't do it at all, but changes the exposure based on the aperture setting you manually set on the lens. You may - if you're lucky - find one post that tells you it DOES set with the control dial. The truth is the latter - you DO control the aperture via the control dial when in A/S/M/P modes. :) So to sum it up - in A/S/M/P modes: 1) The CAMERA will tell you via the viewfinder when you're focused as you MANUALLY focus (no auto on this lens at all, which is fine given it's purpose) 2) The LENS will pass the proper EXIF data to the CAMERA (just like any other CPU-enabled lens) 3) You MUST set the aperture ring on F/22, or you WILL get a flashing EE error in your viewfinder 4) You CAN control the aperture via the front control dial All good news. :) The only thing I'm worried about with the lens so far is that there's no aperture lock on the lens. I have a Tokina 100m (Macro) lens which works exactly the same way (except it DOES have autofocus), and without the lock, I keep slipping the aperture ring out of position accidentally. That's probably not going to be a problem here, because the lens is so short that I'll likely keep my hand on the focus ring, unlike the Tokina which I grasp the barrel on to steady things up when shooting as a telephoto. So... so far, so good. I'll run some good tests in a few days, maybe do some focus testing, and see where this goes. :) ****************************** Update 3/8/2017 ****************************** This lens is EXCELLENT. Sharp, very sharp - easy to manage, and the images are precisely what they should be for a 12mm fish eye. I've been doing some image corrections with an Adobe-compatible plug-in, and I've gotten some very good results in terms of reducing the distortion while keeping the entire image in place... with little or no "smearing" at the edges and corners. (Imadio Hemi). Good purchase. Now all I need to do is go to some really wide areas and work this thing to the bone. :) ... show more

  • Great Value for Extreme Wide Angle
Style: Nikon
Before purchasing this I did a lot of research. The results of that research was positive and I can say that I have verified the results. This is a great lens that gives clear, sharp results. I am using it on a Nikon D750. It is easy to live with the limitations (no AF) because of the extreme wide angle. Most of the time you would use this lens with the focus on infinity anyway. If you need to focus manually, you can do this easily because on Nikon the lens supports the focus assist feature of the camera: the camera will verify that the subject is in focus with an indicator in the viewfinder. The other Nikon feature is that the aperture is set on the camera body: the lens must be set to f22 or an error indicator will appear on the camera display. You need to be aware of this because, unfortunately, the lens does not have an aperture lock so that the aperture can be accidentally set to something other than f22. This a minor complaint and, overall, I can highly recommend this lens based on my experience using it with a compatible Nikon camera. ... show more

  • Super fishy!
Style: Sony E
This is a super sturdy, well built lens. I think the lens is a little TOO fisheye for me, although I haven't had the chance to put it to good use quite yet. There is no auto focus, but it fits full frame cameras without crop so that's nice. Really good camera for indoor photography if you want to capture small spaces, I wouldn't say so much for landscapes. It just creates too much distortion and the angle is just too wide to be useful for actually showing the magnitude of a space. I have been wanting to get out and shoot the stars but the season isn't right and the moon is in full swing now. It's a good lens with clear pictures (although no autofocus-not bad, but because the fisheye is so strong, makes it hard to focus). I really do like this lens, however and I can see it coming in handy when I want to get some unique shots, but right now I haven't had much use for it. If you're looking for a well-built, reasonably-priced fisheye lens, this is definitely your cup of tea. ... show more

  • Great for BMPCC video
Style: Canon
In the ~$400 range for lenses, I always considered Canon's 85mm f/1.8 to be the gold standard in terms of image quality and build quality, but this Rokinon lens is even more impressive. It's built like a tank, has great optics, very minimal lens flare, and the focus ring is smooth as butter. I'm using it on a 5D Mk II for photo & video, and on a BlackMagic Pocket Cinema Camera (with MFT to EF adapter) for video. With the BMPCC's crop, this lens is around a 35mm equivalent and works really well as an all-around lens. On the BMPCC there is a little bit of bulbous distortion characteristic of a fisheye lens but it's not distracting at all and is easily corrected in post. I see absolutely no vignetting on either camera and contrast is as good as it gets. For $400, this lens is a winner. Four things to note: -The aperture ring does click between full stops and half stops, but it's a soft click that can be easily moved while gripping the ring firmly while turning as not to shake your camera too much while shooting video. -The lens hood is removable. -The best way to twist the lens on and off the lens mount is to grip it from the front, basically palming the front element with your fingertips gripping just under the lip of the lens hood (keep the lens cap on while doing this, duh.) Otherwise there's not a real good spot to grip the lens for a tight mount since the band between the focus ring and aperture ring is fairly narrow. -The focus ring does completely stop at either end (it doesn't continue turning after you've reached min or max) EDIT: after a year and half of use, this thing still works like new. very impressive build quality ... show more
