Sigma 4.5mm f2.8

I have just ordered this as I have wanted a fisheye for a while for my 20D.

 

Just wondering if any of you have any experience with it.

 

Thanks

You order a 1400 $ lens circular fisheye for APS-C sensor and after that come here to ask. I don't know anything about this lens but experts are going to ask you first what are your needs.

Well it was half of that price for a start but I know it is what I want and need just wondered what others experiences were. But thanks for the link

I have no experience with the lens, but I hope you will post results when you get your new toy and can play with it. I also have a 20D and could be tempted ;)

 

I've been playing around with some old Spiratone 7mm T-mount lenses (not much luck with them unless well stopped down) and the Spiratone/Samigon/Kenko 0.15X auxiliary lens with not much better luck, so cheap doesn't seem to be the answer to whatever question I've been asking.<div></div>

I think you will find that there aren't to many people who regularly use a circular fisheye.

 

It is hard enough to find anyone who has used the more common 10 mm rectanglar fisheye.

I expect to have it in a couple of days and will post a few shots as soon as I get out with it. I have exams for a couple of weeks so may just take a few random shots without really doing the sort of stuff I want with it. Really want to go into city of London and take som architectural shots from really low angles and see how they come out.

 

Thanks for responses.
