Rokinon 7.5mm T3.8 Cine UMC Fisheye Lens for Micro Four Thirds Mount
Immersive Ultra-Wide Fisheye Optics for Cinematic Innovation
The Rokinon 7.5mm T3.8 Cine UMC Fisheye Lens for Micro Four Thirds Mount is a professionally designed ultra-wide fisheye lens offering an expansive 180-degree diagonal field of view. This lens is optimized specifically for Micro Four Thirds cameras, delivering distinctive fisheye curvature while maintaining exceptional optical clarity and cinema-grade manual controls tailored for contemporary filmmaking needs.
Expansive 180-Degree Diagonal Angle
Rokinon's 7.5mm fisheye lens fills the entire frame with a sweeping 180° diagonal field of view, pushing boundaries of visual storytelling by capturing dramatically expanded environments. Whether filming immersive action scenes, architectural interiors, extreme sports, or stylized music videos, this lens offers filmmakers a unique tool to craft bold, dynamic cinematic visuals that captivate audiences with their spatial immersion.
Advanced Optical Construction
The lens comprises 9 precision elements arranged in 7 groups, including one aspherical and three extra-low dispersion (ED) elements designed to minimize chromatic aberration, distortion, and spherical aberrations. This advanced configuration results in sharp, high-contrast imagery across the entire ultra-wide frame, with vibrant color fidelity suited for professional cinematography.
The lens also employs Rokinon's Nano Coating System (UMC) to suppress ghosting and flare, preserving excellent contrast and image clarity even in challenging lighting conditions such as direct sunlight or complex artificial lighting setups.
Cinema-Grade Manual Controls
Equipped with industry-standard 0.8 pitch gearing on both focus and aperture rings, it supports smooth, precise adjustments compatible with follow focus systems and iris motors. The focus ring provides approximately 200 degrees of smooth rotation, allowing accurate, repeatable focus pulls essential for narrative and commercial productions.
The aperture ring is de-clicked for silent, seamless exposure transitions during recording, eliminating flicker and noise disturbances in professional on-set sound environments.
The lens barrel features engraved focus distance, aperture, and depth of field marks on the side, painted with glow-in-the-dark material for improved visibility during nighttime or blackout shoots.
Compact Design and Practical Features
Measuring about 48.3mm in length and weighing 195 grams, the lens offers a perfect balance of portability and durability, enabling handheld use or easy mounting on gimbals and rigs. Its integrated petal-shaped lens hood effectively protects the front element and reduces flare without narrowing the fisheye's extensive field of view.
The minimum focusing distance is approximately 0.09 meters (3.5 inches), facilitating creative close-up shots with exaggerated fisheye perspectives that add depth and drama to foreground subjects within vast visual contexts.
