NIKKOR 8MM

€205.00

The Nikkor 8mm is a specialty fisheye cinema lens designed to create an extreme ultra-wide perspective with a distinctive circular image and strong visual distortion. Originally based on Nikon’s legendary photographic fisheye optics, this lens has been adapted for cinema use, making it a unique creative tool for filmmakers looking for bold, immersive, and unconventional imagery.

With its 180° field of view, the Nikkor 8mm produces a classic fisheye effect, bending straight lines and exaggerating space in a way that cannot be achieved with standard wide-angle lenses. On full-frame sensors it can produce a circular image, while on Super 35 it offers a more cropped fisheye look, making it useful for music videos, fashion films, experimental work, POV shots, dream sequences, action, skate-inspired visuals, and highly stylized commercials.

Its compact and lightweight construction makes it practical for handheld, gimbal, car-rig, and dynamic camera setups. Depending on the version, the lens is available in PL mount and has been modified or rehoused for professional cinema workflows, offering improved handling and compatibility with modern camera systems while preserving the unique optical personality of the original Nikkor glass.

The Nikkor 8mm stands out for its ability to transform space, create energetic movement, and bring a surreal visual signature to a scene. It is not a neutral lens, but a highly expressive optical tool for filmmakers who want to push perspective and create images with strong character.

Maximum aperture: T2.8

Mount: PL mount depending on rehousing or modification

Minimum focus distance: Approximately 10–12 inches / 25–30 cm

Weight: Approximately 1.1 kg / 2.4 lb depending on version

Optical character: Circular fisheye image, strong distortion, wide spatial exaggeration
