Rokinon 8mm f/3.5 HD Fisheye Lens for Pentax

Rokinon's latest fisheye lens for Pentax boasts several remarkable features that set it apart from their previous highly acclaimed 8mm f/3.5 fisheye offering. The lens's optics and glass are of high-definition (HD) quality, delivering remarkably clear and sharp images.

One of the standout features of this lens is its removable hood, which can prove advantageous for users of full-frame cameras. While the lens is designed for APS-C sensors, full-frame users can now utilize it without the hood, providing greater flexibility.

On APS-C cameras, the images will fill the entire frame or screen, showcasing the lens's wide-angle capabilities. However, when used with full-frame digital cameras or 35mm film cameras, the lens will produce a semi-circular image, with close-up subjects appearing proportionately larger, creating a dramatic effect.

The lens features a manual focus and an aperture range of f/3.5-22, allowing for precise control and creative expression. Its optical construction comprises 10 elements in 7 groups, including 1 spherical lens, ensuring high-quality performance.

The lens boasts an ultra-wide 167-degree diagonal field of view for APS-C size image formats, which can result in a rounded image that does not cover the entire frame when used with compatible full-frame cameras.

Furthermore, the lens incorporates improved HD optics, delivering even sharper images than its predecessor. With a minimum focusing distance of 1 foot, this fisheye lens offers versatile close-up capabilities, expanding the creative possibilities for photographers.

Overall, Rokinon's newest fisheye lens for Pentax presents a compelling combination of advanced features, high-quality optics, and creative potential, making it a compelling choice for both APS-C and full-frame camera users.
