Ideal for...

This lens is aimed at photography enthusiasts and professionals who want to experiment with unusual perspectives. It is particularly suitable for landscapes, architecture, interiors, as well as creative portraits and event photography with distorted effects. It is also an excellent choice for videographers needing dynamic wide-angle shots.

How to use the Tokina SZ 8mm Fisheye

Simply mount the lens onto your Sony E-Mount APS-C camera. Adjust the focus manually using the focus ring – depth of field is very large due to the short focal length, so most subjects are sharp from about 0.5 m. Use the fisheye effect for creative compositions by intentionally placing the horizon line in the center or at the edge of the frame.
