User questions & answers

Question:	This lens is a circular fish eye or a full fish eye
Answer:	Yes
Question:	What size adapters are included
Answer:	It should work on any phone or tablet which has the camera near the edge which is every one I can think of. But I don't have a nexus 5
Question:	where can I get a spacer
Answer:	Yes. A relatively low profile case will offer no problems. So long as the clip can span the thickness of the phone & case & the lens sits flush to the phone camera lens. My case & phone measure +1/2"Works great

User questions & answers

Question:	Does this have auto focus
Answer:	You're going to want the Sony branded one to take full advantage of the a6000, specifically the eye auto focus that's going to save you loads of time getting a perfect portrait. The Rokinon is a manual focus full-frame lens that's big and heavy, but a contender against other full-frame lenses for sharpness, and as fun as manuals are, you'll just be wasting too much time for portraits.

Prime Lenses

Prime lenses are typically sharper, lighter, and can work in lower lighting conditions than zoom lenses.

Less compromises are involved when a lens can be designed for optimal performance for a specific focal length.

They don't have to overcome all of the additional problems encountered with the extra glass and mechanics required to zoom.

With their typically faster (wider) maximum apertures and fewer lens elements, primes can also gather and pass through more light.

As a result, even in poor lighting conditions, you can generally get better quality images and videos.

Additionally, due to their smaller size and weight, they are perfect for travel, and stealthy street shooting.

User questions & answers

Question:	Why is the Rokinon 12mm fisheye, but the Rokinon 10mm isn't? Is there a 12mm non fish eye version
Answer:	Not an expert on optics but the shape of the lens probably determine# the “fisheye” aspect. The 12mm I have has a round bulging type shape ( sort of like an eyeball). All the fisheye lens I’ve seen have this shape and not the typical flan shape. I don’t know anything about the 10 mm specifically but any 10 mm lens is going to have significant distortion. Hope this helps.
Question:	Will it natively fit the sony a7r3? i want full frame and do not want to mess with adapters
Answer:	Yes, but it will be longer than pictured. It has the adapter built into it.
Question:	Does this lens have manual or auto focus capabilities
Answer:	This is a manual focus lens
Question:	Can this lens take filters
Answer:	No, it can Not. Due to the convex shape of the lens. I heard, the only way is to cut a piece of filter small enough to fit on the inside of the lens between the sensor. Hope this helps
