Description — Tokina 8mm f/2.8 Fisheye
The Tokina 8mm f/2.8 Fisheye is a prime fisheye lens built for APS-C mirrorless cameras on the Sony E mount. With a fixed focal length of 8mm and a maximum aperture of f/2.8, it delivers a bold fisheye perspective in a package weighing just 280g. This is a manual focus lens, putting focus control entirely in the hands of the photographer — a deliberate choice that suits creative, considered shooting styles.
There is no image stabilization included, so technique matters when shooting handheld. The specifications do not list a filter thread size, which is worth noting for photographers who typically work with screw-on filters. Compact and purpose-built, this lens is a straightforward creative tool for Sony E-mount APS-C shooters who want to explore the fisheye format with a wide f/2.8 aperture.
