Samyang 8mm T3.8 UMC Fish-Eye CS II

The Samyang 8mm T3.8 UMC Fish-Eye CS II lens, compatible with Sony E-mount cameras featuring APS-C sensors, offers a dynamic 180-degree ultra wide field of view. Designed primarily for videography, this lens is ideal for capturing expansive locations like stadiums and grand halls, providing a distinct distorted aesthetic that enlarges small spaces and renders straight lines with a noticeable curvature, making it a creative tool for unconventional perspectives. Equipped with a manual, clickless aperture control ranging from T3.8 to T22, it is most effective in well-lit conditions or when supplemented with additional lighting. The focus mechanism is smooth and precise, essential for videographers using follow focus systems supported by a 0.8 pitch gear on both the aperture and focus rings. Its minimum focusing distance is an approachable 30 cm. Constructed with 10 elements in 7 groups, enhanced with Samyang's UMC to reduce glare, and housed in a durable aluminum body, this lens comes with a petal-shaped removable hood and protective caps.
