    • 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

    • I had always wanted a fish eye lens...
Style: Nikon
This is a 12mm f2.8 fisheye lens for a full frame (FX) digital SLR camera (in my case a Nikon D810), something I had wanted for years. I never buy used lenses (were they dropped, scratched, fungus growing on the glass? ) but I'm not rich enough to splash out on a genuine Nikon lens especially as you don't use a fisheye lens every day. So I wanted something comparable to a Nikon lens for much less money. This Rokinon 12mm fits the bill perfectly. Solidly built complete with a petal lens hood and lens cap, it fits firmly onto the Nikon F mount and connects electronically with the circuits in the camera to give f stop and focus information. (The f stop is controlled by the camera, the lens aperture is set (and left) at f22.) The lens is not AutoFocus, you have to focus by turning the focussing ring on the lens and the camera viewfinder will let you know when the lens is focused (a circle between to pointers in my case). However, since everything beyond 3 or 4 feet will be in focus when the lens is set to infinity, autofocus is really unnecessary. The lens is sharp in the center and also equally so at all 4 corners, which is unusual for budget priced lenses where edge sharpness often falls off. The focussing ring and aperture ring turn smoothly and there is no "wobble" or "slack", everything is of good quality. The lens is well designed and well engineered and at about a 1/4 the price of a similar Nikon lens, an excellent bargain. ... show more

    • Only buy if you have nikon
Style: Nikon
The AE chip in the nikon version makes a huge difference. It would be way too hard to manual focus if there was no focus confirm (the two triangles & circle that you see in the view finder). It also allows you to control the aperture using the camera body settings instead of turning a ring on the lens. I tried focus peaking in live view, but it was not accurate at all. You need to use the manual focus confirm to get sharp images (and the manual focus confirm is only available with the nikon version because of the AE chip). I heard a lot of people say, "everything is in focus, you don't need to even change the focus". That's totally not true, at least with anything less than 20ft away from you. If it's 20ft or farther away, then yeah, everything is always in focus. One complaint about the manual focus is that turning the focus ring like 1 degree changes your focus by about 5 feet. But if you're focusing on something less than 2 feet away, you can turn the focus ring like 15 degrees to change the focus by about 1 inch. It makes it hard to focus. If you're focusing on someone's eyes that is 8 feet away, then you have to barely move the focus ring. It's so touchy. It's mostly sharp at 2.8 aperture, but it's a little sharper and better contrast if you go up a stop or 2. I do like the image it produces in the end though. The curvature of the fisheye distortion is very pleasing in my opinion. I thought it looked more natural/nicer than the Nikkor 8mm-16mm (a $1000 lens), but the Nikkor is for sure sharper when pixel peeping and I sure would love to have that AF-S auto focus. I'm using it on a D850. I'd say this lens would be more well suited for a D750 or D800 if you're looking for a fisheye that you only want to use once in a while. If paid clients are specifically looking from fisheye shots from you (like pro skateboarding or something) then it may be worth it to upgrade to a better lens. Also, you need fast autofocusing for action, so if you're shooting lots of action, this isn't a lens for you. I paid $330. I see now the price raised to $400. If I had paid that much I would have given it 3 stars. I think around $300 is a fair price. ... show more
