Product Description
This is Rokinon's newest fisheye lens for Nikon. It features some great new features that are not available on Rokinon's first highly rated 8mm f/3.5 fisheye lens. Optics and glass are high definition (HD) with very clear & sharp images. This lens also features a removable hood which will make it easier for use on full frame cameras. While this lens is designed for APS-C sensors, full frame users can now use it without the hood. On APS-C cameras like the Nikon D5100/D3200/D3100, the pictures will fill the entire frame or screen. On full frame cameras like the Nikon D4 & D800, the lens will produce pictures with a semi-circular image and close images will appear proportionately large for a dramatic effect.

This lens is for the Nikon and it has the "chip" to make it work with some functions with the camera. Yes, its manual focus but honestly, you don't do much focusing with a lens like this. You can just sort of guess the distance and set it for something close to that and be fine. Of course with a digital you can just shoot some test shots and set it up that way also.
This Nikon model with the "chip" does share info with the camera so its very easy to use both with and without a flash. When properly set it will set the aperture automatically. Also I find it to work very well metering automatically with my flash. I am using this lens on both a Nikon D5200 and a D7100. I normally just set the camera to Auto ISO and use the "P" (Program) setting. At most I have only had to make minor adjustments in flash power on more close up type photos. This lens seems to work very well with both of my cameras.
How good are the photos? Well, they are great for what I need. I work on a ship and needed photos taken in very confined spaces like the engine room. This lens was just perfect for doing extreme wide angle shots as well as close ups. Clarity is very good as is color. In some recent photos I did I noted that when I enlarged some of the photos I could easily read the text on items ten or fifteen feet away. It was quite impressive. I have used more expensive lens that did no better but cost much more.
There are several models of this lens so take your time and pick the one that is right for you. You can buy if without the "chip" and save a few bucks but considering the small difference in price and how well the "chipped"" model works I would go with this one. Also you can buy it with a fixed (built in) hood or a removable hood like this one. I went with the removable hood as I also use this on my full frame camera and I wanted to be able to shoot without hoot if I wanted. (Be warned...the front element of the lens protrudes out and you need to be careful about getting too close to things).
If you use Light Room you can do some computer magic on the photos you take with this lens. I use the lens correction feature and correct much of the curved lines you can get up close. you should experiment with the settings to get the results you want. I think I normally use something like a "Nikon 10mm Fisheye" listing and it cleans up the photos pretty well automatically.
I love what I can do with this lens and wonder why I didn't buy one sooner! I would buy this again without hesitation. The lens has more uses than you might think. Fact is if you like photography and like to experiment or if you need a lens that you can use for super wide shots in confined spaces then this is the lens for you. It does the job and you just can not beat the price. Great value and very useful, the perfect combination.
I would highly recommend this lens if you want a low cost, high quality product.
UPDATE:
Am now using with the D7200. Great for astro-photography. After doing some tests to determine f/5.6 at infinity was the best setting I captured the image of the Milky Way attached. Exposure f/5.6 (at infinity), 20 seconds, ISO 10,000. Nice sharp round stars in the large center. Coma as you get to the outside edges. If you want a great super-wide angle lens for astrophotography work, this is it!

Pros: price, quality feel, image quality
Cons: manual focus and aperture. Recommended for aps-c cameras (although some posts have it on full framed cams).
I haven't owned this for long so I will update if something happens worth mentioning.
4 stars- focus ring works but unsure on the number alignment...seems to stop full left past 0.3 to ...blank area on lens. Don't know if that's normal. Doesnt seem to really effect the focus much

Baixo contraste que pode ser resolvido com pouca de edição.
Construção boa.
Esta versión tiene CHIP de confirmación de enfoque y de exposición lo que hace su tarea un poco mas fácil, a partir de un metro de distancia enfocado al infinito todo esta enfocado..
Lo recomiendo ampliamente para aquellos que quieran jugar, divertirse y conseguir algunas imágenes interesantes, no se arrepentiran..
Saludos!

I couldn't open my package for 40 days as I was out of the station and it worried me what would be inside the package as it arrived from the US and it could have been mishandled at various airports. Luckily it arrived with no damage.
I had used a canon version of this lens which was fully manual with no AE. This one looks and feels different. It is much better built and front element looks bigger.
what has improved? Better built quality, removable hood, auto exposure and look. 24MP sensor of my D7200 is having no issues in resolving the details.
whats Bad? Aperture has to be fixed at F22 to enable aperture control from the Camera and I don't know why.
Image Quality is superb even at F3.5.
Shall update further after some use/misuse.
