    • Excellent quality but expensive lens
Style: For Canon SLR Cameras
I'm using this lens with Canon EOS 6D full-frame camera (5D previously), and my previous fisheye lens was Peleng 3.5/8mm. The Sigma's optical quality is truly excellent in comparison with Peleng. The most important thing is that the resolution is far better than the Peleng's. It exceeds the capabilities of 12 MP sensor (5D) and looks very good at 20 MP (6D). This lens gave a huge boost of quality to my spherical panoramas. I can easily shoot even with the sun in frame - almost no flares or loss of contrast. The black field around the image circle is truly black in most conditions. The AF is old-school: slow, buzzing, with rotating ring. It worked well on 5D, but on 6D it tends to back-focus (farther than infinity mark) when shooting landscapes, it was necessary to apply correction in camera menu. But note that the AF performance is not important for fisheye. I don't like the front cover: it's made of 2 pieces for some reason, and it holds on the barrel by nothing but the friction. I'd like to see the single-piece cover with some kind of thread or another more reliable connection. All in all, it's an excellent product regardless its relatively high price for a "toy" lens. ... show more

    • This is what a Google Trusted Photographer Needs
Style: For Canon SLR Cameras
As a Google trusted photographer, Google provides us with a list of gear. This is the correct lens for the gear. I'm using it on a canon 7d and a rebel t3i and it works great. I thought there would be more distortion in the lens but there isn't, it creates great HDR and fisheye images, the flair control is better than on the canons lens, but it does focus a little slower than the Canon USM lens, but I am not shooting action shoots with this lens so it really does not matter. This is the first sigma I have owned, but will not be the last one. Pro: Sharp Picture Great Flare Control Cons: No Manual focus override - have to switch it to MF mode ... show more

    • Go Circular
Style: For Nikon SLR Cameras
This is a special use lens that produces a circular image on the sensor. When used in certain situations the results can be amazing, also remember if your camera has the mega pixels you can crop in to produce a "rectangular" close up. In my honest opinion every serious photographer should have ONE fisheye in there bag (circular or diagonal) You may not use it all that often but when you do you have potential of great images much different from all other lens and with the extreme wide angle you can literally be inches from the main subject and include it in the entire scene. Pros: Light, easy to carry Cons: Front element is subject to scratches (fragile), images have a tell tell circular look - so don't over use it. Careful, your feet or body may be in the photo (extreme wide angle), can not be used in certain environmental situations - misting or raining without drops showing in photos. I use both a circular and horizontal fisheye - visit my TRUETOAD web site for images taken with this lens - creative section ... show more

    • I'm very happy with this
Style: For Canon SLR Cameras
I got mine about a month ago and am just back from 10 days in Italy, where I used this extensively. Sharp, good flare control, lots of fun. The previous reviewer says something about the AF being slow-- which, while true, is only half the story. You're almost always going to be focusing at or near infinity, so it's actually very rare to have to wait. Because this lens has such wide depth of field, I actually usually keep it on manual focus and leave it near infinity. Actually, the biggest challenge with this lens is composition-- it can be surprisingly hard to find a scene with interesting things in all directions. That said, this lens is *excellent* for inside buildings and crowded city streets. Be aware that outdoors, finding the correct exposure can be difficult for a number of reasons. I did significantly better in M (manual) mode than my camera was doing in A (aperture) mode. (reasons for difficulty include the dark corners in the frame which mess up the camera's metering in some modes, and the probability that the sun will be in the frame and/or there will be both very light and very dark areas in the frame) This lens is excellent for making spherical panoramas, and for realllllly wide angle shots (I'm de-fishing a lot of my pictures with software). (I use this lens with a Canon 10D) ... show more

    • Professionally used for years in the film industry
Style: For Canon SLR Cameras
I work in the VFX industry doing computer generated imagery for multi-million dollar movies and this lens is not only a must have but it's the best one you'll find. Very high quality, consistent and a work horse. I'd also recommend using this lens in other professions. Perfect for making 360 degree Quick TIme VR movies. For fun.. this is a HUGE hit at parties. You'll get some great results and everyone gets so interested when you put the lens 2 inches from the face to take a picture!

    • Fun lens
Style: For Nikon SLR Cameras
This is a fun lens to work with, if you know how to use it and have an actual application for it. Good lens to do sky timelapses (for aurora, for example), with only a little of landscape all around the perimeter. However, the lens is not very sharp at the edge, you get what you pay for, the lens is an inexpensive fun gadget. ... show more
