Samyang 8mm F/3.5 Asph IF MC Fisheye CS Lens
For Sony A Mount
Lens Description
The Samyang 8mm F/3.5 Asph IF MC Fisheye CS is an ultra-wide prime designed for cameras with a APS-C (1.5X) sensor. This prime has a 8mm focal-length. It provides the same field of view as a 12mm lens on a Full-Frame camera.
This prime lens focuses down to 30cm from the imaging plane. The lens is not capable of autofocus and so the focus-distance must always be manually adjusted via the focus-ring.
The lens weighs 435g.
This version of the lens has a Sony A mount. It directly attaches and is fully compatible with all Sony A mount cameras with APS-C (1.5X) sensors. Samyang also makes this lens for Canon EF, Pentax K, Four-Thirds and Sony E mounts.
