Lens Overview — Rokinon 8mm f/2.8 UMC Fish-Eye II X

The Rokinon 8mm f/2.8 UMC Fish-Eye II is a manual focus prime fisheye lens built specifically for the Fujifilm X mount. Designed for APS-C mirrorless cameras, it sits in the wide angle focal length category and offers a maximum aperture of f/2.8, making it a capable option for photographers who want to explore immersive, distortion-driven perspectives without breaking the bank. At just 260g, this lens is notably compact and lightweight, which pairs well with the compact body designs typical of Fujifilm X-series mirrorless cameras.

Focus is fully manual, so shooters will need to dial in their shots by hand — a workflow that many creative and landscape photographers actually prefer for the precision it offers. There is no image stabilization on board, so keeping steady technique or using a tripod is advisable, particularly in lower light. The lens carries no filter thread, which is common for fisheye designs given the pronounced front element curvature.

Overall, the Rokinon 8mm f/2.8 UMC Fish-Eye II is a straightforward, dedicated fisheye prime that prioritizes a wide maximum aperture and a very manageable weight, aimed squarely at Fujifilm X mount APS-C shooters looking to add a creative wide-angle tool to their kit.

Key Features — Rokinon 8mm f/2.8 UMC Fish-Eye II X

8mm Fisheye Prime: Fixed 8mm focal length delivers a fully immersive fisheye perspective with characteristic barrel distortion on APS-C sensors.

Fujifilm X Mount: Dedicated Fujifilm X mount provides a secure, system-native fit for Fujifilm X-series APS-C mirrorless cameras.

UMC Lens Coatings: Ultra Multi-Coating reduces flare and ghosting, helping maintain contrast and color accuracy when shooting toward light sources.

Manual Focus Design: Fully manual focus ring gives photographers direct, precise control over focus — well-suited to landscape, architecture, and creative shooting.

Compact 260g Build: At just 260g, this lens pairs naturally with the lightweight, compact bodies of the Fujifilm X system for all-day carry.
