Kenko announced the Tokina SZ 8mm f2.8 fisheye lens for cameras with APS-C format image sensors. It offers the two lens mounts “Fuji X” and “Sony E” and it is expected to be available from the beginning of May 2022.
The Tokina SZ 8mm F2.8 Fisheye MF is a compact, lightweight, and very bright ultra-wide-angle lens with a fisheye effect, which was developed exclusively for mirrorless cameras with an APS-C sensor. (However, the E model can also be used on full-frame cameras, where it is intended to produce a circular image.)
The enhanced perspective and unique distortion make this lens attractive to both photographers and videographers. The Fisheye is particularly interesting for young, active content creators with its compact size, manual focus, and low price. It is particularly suitable for landscape, night, interior, architecture, street snapshots, and animal photography. Its extremely wide angle of view, unique perspective effect, and compact design allow.

The Tokina SZ 8mm f2.8 fisheye lens is available now on Adorama.com, Amazon.com, and Amazon.co.uk with the two lens mounts Fujifilm X and Sony E and is expected to be available from the beginning of May 2022 for $299.
