![]() It showed a distinct decentering effect which caused the whole left side of the frame to be noticeably blurry compared to the rest of the image, particularly when used wide open at f/2.8. The first lens that I received was a bad copy. It’s available for a wide variety of camera mounts including Canon EF-M, Fujifilm X, Sony E, and Samsung NX. ![]() I really enjoyed the short time I had with the original version so I grabbed the new Rokinon 8mm f/2.8 UMC Fisheye II version as soon as it was released. Now Rokinon/Samyang have released a new Mark II version of the lens. I had only limited experience with the older lens and didn’t really own it long enough to make a complete review. When I first dove into the world of mirrorless cameras, one of the first lenses I used was the original Mark I version of this fisheye lens: the Rokinon 8mm f/2.8 UMC Fisheye. You can find the same lenses under other brand names too: the original manufacturer is Samyang and their lenses are available under the names Rokinon, Bower, Walimex and a few others. The Rokinon 8mm f/2.8 UMC Fisheye II is a dedicated mirrorless camera lens design, meaning it won’t fit on your standard DSLR and is instead made for the new compact system lens cameras that manufacturers have started offering in the last few years like the Sony a6000 and the Fujifilm X-T1. My thoughts on using the new Rokinon 8mm f/2.8 UMC Fisheye II lens, particularly for landscape astrophotography.
