Tokina SZ 8mm f/2.8 8mm
A 180° angle of view and a fast f/2.8 aperture define this 8mm manual-focus fisheye, enabling dramatic ultra-wide perspectives in a compact 280g body. Smooth manual focus and multi-coated optics deliver precise control and quality for close-ups as near as 4 inches, though it lacks weather sealing. This lens fits photographers and vloggers seeking distinctive, distortion-rich shots for social media and creative landscapes, but it struggles with action subjects.
