p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · Rokinon 8MM FE for Nikon - Amazon Lightning Deal


I use Canon, but noticed this lens will be on the Amazon Lightning deal at 8:50am US Central Time tomorrow morning. I thought some might be interested. The current price is $348.99, so will have to wait to see special price. They usually knock about 20% off or more on many items for Lighting Deal.

Rokinon HD8M-N 8mm f/3.5 HD Fisheye Lens with Auto Aperture Chip and Removeable Hood for Nikon DSLR 8-8mm, Fixed-Non-Zoom Lens

Anyone here ever use this glass? Heard lots of mixed things about this one ('mixed' is maybe overly kind....)

But then again, it is only $350. The Sigma is over double that and the Nikkor 8/2.8, well, you know....

thanks for the heads up on this, but there was one, and only one, for sale. I could have waitlisted for it, but I didn't.

My son uses a couple of the Rokinon/Samyang lenses (24 and 85) for video and has been very pleased with their quality. Especially for an 8mm FE, I wouldn't think the manual focus would be a problem. They seem to be a bargain even at regular prices.

Just today, I actually listed our FE8M-N model (w/ built-in hood) on eBay and also here on B&S forum. It got sold on eBay pretty quickly, and I paid a bit more and purchased the HD8M-N model w/ removable hood so it gives a bit more pleasant pictures on our D800E in FX mode. I missed the Amazon Lightning deal, but I called one of the stores I usually buy from, and they kindly agreed to beat the Amazon deal for me by a few bucks. So I am happy

We were actually pretty happy with IQ of the older model we had on our D7000, and would never have sold it if we had not moved to D800E as our main body. It was pretty sharp and very easy to work with, and produced fun nice pictures. The build of the lens was nothing like pro lenses but not too far from cheaper consumer lenses either, IMHO. For the price, I think it is actually a pretty good buy, particularly given that fisheye is something we rarely use and cannot justify paying much more for.

Few samples from a concert we shot last year at UCLA Royce Hall:

Will, I was there right at the start, and as I went to buy, it changed and showed me that 100% sold and only one was available for that price. Since I had to get to class in less than ten minutes, I had to close the browser and get going. Guess it will just have to be "some other time" for me.
