    • 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

    • Fish eyes are fun. Manually focusing can be challenging for a lens this wide
Style: Canon
First of all, if you're thinking about getting this for your crop sensor DSLR, like 60D, 70D, Rebels, 7D... stop! You may want to consider a true fisheye to your camera. I'd recommend you get either Rokinon HD8M-C 8mm f/3.5 HD Fisheye Lens with Removeable Hood for Canon DSLR 8-8mm, Fixed-Non-Zoom Lens or Opteka 6.5mm f/3.5 HD Aspherical Fisheye Lens with Removable Hood for Canon EOS 70D, 60D, 60Da, 50D, 1Ds, 7D, 6D, 5D, 5DS, Rebel T6s, T6i, T5i, T5, T4i, T3i, T3, T2i and SL1 Digital SLR Cameras. These two lenses would give you almost the same field of view on your crop sensor camera, as this would on a full-frame DSLR. They're also cheaper! I believe those two lenses are equivalent, and you can look up Flickr groups that are dedicated to these lenses to see if that works for you. This lens has a f/2.8 aperture but I rarely shoot at any f-number lower than f/4 on my full frame Canon 6D. This is because this lens is a bit hard to focus since it's so wide, you can't easily know if your subject is in focus. The Canon version does not have an electronic chip to confirm if the subject is in focus (however, I think the Nikon version does have that chip.. Why, Rokinon?) Fish eye lenses are fun to use, and you can get crazy ideas and exaggerated perspective with them. They're very good for DSLR selfies. At first, I thought that I wanted to return it. But then I realized how much fun I had with it when I took it to shoots with friends and in our photography club, and therefore, I am keeping it! I am not sure if Amazon allows links to my Flickr album, but here it is, an album of some photos I took with this lens https://www.flickr.com/photos/addola/sets/72157649597969934 ... show more

    • Good lens but my bad.
Style: Canon
Fair post from my point of view, but in all honesty I did not check to see if it came with auto focus. And that was my fault, I should have paid more attention. It does the job but using it on a more sophisticated camera that I am just learning about makes it a bit of a struggle. So once again read the description. ... show more

    • Getting a very wide view of the world.
Style: Canon
Review Image by Dan W. Dooley
This lens has been fun to use. Although I am not a big fan of the fish eye effect, I bought this one primarily for it's ability to provide a very wide angle for landscape and scenery photos. If the distance to the nearest subjects included in the shot is great enough the fish eye effect is not as noticeable. The angle is indeed very wide. Comparing shots made with this lens to another lens which also will adjust to 12mm the angle of view, the width, of this one is considerably wider. Of course the two lens, both being 12mm will have the same magnification. The non-fish eye lens just does not have the same width. The picture quality is very good. Lens flare is pretty well controlled so shooting in situations where the sun is not in an ideal spot does not result in flare such as I encounter with the other lens which can shoot at 12mm. The fact that the lens is all manual is not a problem at all for as has been stated for focus, just keep it on Infinity and it's good to go. And that introduces my main gripe. During normal handling, the focus ring never seems to want to stay at Infinity. I know, it's just my handling of the lens during shooting and it's something one can just be careful about, but I find it moved to a much closer focus distance quite often and I'm never sure just how it got moved. I think just more practice with the lens and I'll be less prone to accidentally rotate the focus ring. Or perhaps a small piece of tape added could hold it in place. The lens does not have any electronic communication with the camera. Again, not a problem for me. Most often I set the aperture to f/8 and adjust the exposure just like I do with any other lens. The shutter speed. That's manual operation and that's all I shoot anyhow. For those not wishing manual operation, set it to Aperture Priority and let the camera adjust the exposure. That works fine too, ... show more

    • Great lens, excellent price
Style: Canon
I've previously owned the Rokinon 8mm Fisheye for APS-C (crop sensor) and when I upgraded to a full-frame body this is the first lens I purchased. The build quality is fantastic and it works exactly as advertised! If anyone is worried about having a manual focus lens, it is honestly not a big deal at all. If the subject is 5 feet or more away, just set the focus dial to infinity and EVERYTHING is in focus! It's really a great lens and I love the creative effects I get from it. Can't go wrong! ... show more

    • Simple and Effective
Style: Canon
Review Image by Charles
The lense is sharp and clear with various abberations well controlled. I shoot with this on my Canon 6D and my 5D MarkII so I get the full wide angle. The fisheye effect as long as the sensor plane is perpendicular to the horizon is minimal. The coma (light commas on pinpoints of light) is minimal even at f/2.8, especially as compared to the Canon 24mm f/1.4L II. The chromatic abberation from what I have played with the lense, appears to be well controlled, but I need to shoot more images. The focus for infinity is spot on the infinite mark, which for me is good, since I do mostly astro-landscape photography and it makes focusing easy. Having the elcetronic contacts would be nice, for recording the meta-data, but for the price, adn since its sharp with minimal abberations, I can live with it. ... show more

I really love this lens. When I was shooting crop I had their 8mm. When I moved to full frame I sold the 8mm and was without a fisheye till now. This lens is awesome.Lens is well built and and feel nice in the hands. I have only played with it for a few min but I really like this lens. Since the price is a lot less than other lenses if you're thinking of getting a fisheye and not spend $1000 plus, this is the one for you. ... show more

    • GREAT lens! Real FUN! Sharp and premium build quality.
Style: Canon
This lens is FUN! It is sharp, and distortion is quite acceptable for a fisheye lens. The description does not say it clearly but the lens cover DOES roll out, as opposed to some other Rokinon lenses where the cover is fixed. The build quality is excellent, very premium feel. I was concerned about not having auto-focus, but in practice, 99% of the time you will need to have this lens focused on infinity. You only need to adjust focus if the object is really really close. I am very satisfied and happy with this purchase. ... show more
