Tokina has revealed a new 8mm f/2.8 fisheye lens for Sony E-mount and Fujifilm X-mount. This lens is designed to produce frame-filling images on APS-C mirrorless cameras, but it will give you a round fisheye effect when used on full-frame Sony E-mount bodies. The 9.9 oz (280g) lens provides a minimum focusing distance of 3.9 inches (10 cm).
The Tokina 8mm f/2.8 fisheye lens will be available from mid-March. Check with your dealer for pricing.
