    • 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).

    • 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

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.

    • Front lens cap and adaptor ring

Review Image by SSR Dublin
I have been using the lens for about 6 months now and of course I have been extra careful handling the lens especially when removing the front lens cap. Right away I noticed how the lens front adaptor ring fitted just a bit loose and tended to slide off "just didn't fit tight" and has a fine metal edge.. I am a professional photographer and use the lens daily and it finally happened, I was taking the lens out of my bag and the fine edge on the front adaptor ring that the front lens cap clicks on to slid off and really scratched the front of the lens. I would rate the lens as 5 stars, but I feel that the front adaptor ring needs to be redesigned, the edges are too fine. I cant be the first Photographer that this has happened too. Be extra careful when removing the lens cap and front ring. . I want to give this product a 5 Star rating but I can't now because i am going to need to purchase a new lens. This would of not happened if everything fitted just slightly tighter Be careful..... ... show more

    • Wicked fun.
Style: For Canon SLR Cameras
Review Image by Eric
This lens is just wicked fun. It's small and light enough that you can just keep it in your bag to pull out any time. It seems to make skies just pop even more than a circular polarizer does on a standard lens. Very few lenses will give you a cool picture just by pointing it up at the sky. This one will. For framing shots, just a few steps back and you can get grand vistas. Get right on top of something and it looks like the whole world is a fishbowl around your subject. With a 180 degree view, the hardest part about using this lens is keeping yourself out of the picture. Toes, elbows, and shadows all end up finding their way into your shot. The kids who are used to standing next to me if I'm trying to get a scenery shot are now in the shot. There are just a few things that keep me from giving it 5 stars. First the instructions say that you should turn off the auto focus to use manual focus. I like lenses that allow the full time manual focus. It did require a little autofocus adjustment on my camera to get the best results. If your camera body does not support the autofocus microadjustment, you may not get everything you can out of the lens. It wasn't really bad before adjustment, just not as good as it can be. Autofocus is fairly noisy compared to other Sigmas I've used, but this is a small nitpick. ... show more

    • Excellent Choice for my Canon 40D
Style: For Canon SLR Cameras
I own an excellent selection Canon "L" lenses. But I was ready to try to fisheye. After extensive research, I decided to give the Sigma 8mm f/3.5 EX DG Circular Fisheye a try. I'm glad I did. This lens feels good, it's small (compared to my "L" lenses), it focuses fast and quiet. The photos it takes are outstanding. I have even stated using the Fisheye-Hemi Photoshop plug-in to manipulate the images and "straighten" them out a bit.
