Description — Rokinon 8mm T3.1 II
The Rokinon 8mm T3.1 II Cine Lens is built specifically for the Samsung NX mirrorless mount and optimized for APS-C format sensors. It is a prime lens with a fixed 8mm focal length, placing it squarely in fisheye wide-angle territory. The maximum aperture is rated at T3.1 — a transmission-based measurement that makes this lens particularly relevant for video and cine applications where consistent light values matter across a lens set.
Weighing only 280g, this compact optic keeps your mirrorless setup light and manageable whether you're shooting handheld or on a small rig. Focus is manual only, with no autofocus capability, and there is no image stabilization on board. The lens carries a cine design orientation, and its manual focus ring is suited to follow-focus use in video production.
With no confirmed filter thread, adding screw-on filters is not straightforward. For Samsung NX users seeking a dedicated fisheye cine prime with a transparent T-stop aperture rating and minimal weight, this Rokinon covers all the core bases.
