Sigma 10mm f/2.8 EX DC HSM Fisheye Lens for Canon Digital SLR Cameras Review
This autofocus fisheye lens is designed for use with digital SLR cameras equipped with APS-C size image sensors. The Nikon version produces a diagonal angle of view of 180� (154�for Sigma, 167� for Canon). The diagonal field of view of this fisheye lens produces striking images with exaggerated perspective and distortion. The minimum focusing distance of 13.5cm/5.3inch, and maximum magnification 1:3.3 allows subjects to be as close as 1.8cm/0.7inch from the lens’ front element. This close focusing capability allows close-up photography and also it is possible to make use of large depth of field that covers wide range of subjects. The Integral hood blocks out extraneous light and the Super Multi-Layer Coating minimizes flare and ghosting, creating superior image quality. The HSM (Hyper Sonic Motor) ensures fast and quiet autofocusing and allows full-time manual focus override by rotation of the focus ring. This lens is supplied with a gelatin filter holder at the rear, allowing the use of gelatin filters.
I studied a lot before I bought this goal for my Canon XSI (450D). It 'my first goal Sigma (plus other goals kit Canon – 18-55 mm, 55-250 mm, with a Lensbaby 2.0, and a Canon "Nifty Fifty" 50mm 1.8) and I love it! I already have the nickname "The Tank", because it is strong and well built (I remember that I used for the lens kit). Is not the kind of goal is to keep the car all the time, but it is certainly one that, every time the camera is about to go! I receivedwas at 8 Clock (Dawn), and the lights of the road already, but I have a couple of shots with the acceptable ambient light – it's fast and strong, even 100% plant and the concentration is not crucial "hunting". If you do not like pictures of non-traditional points of view, this goal is worth it! I also like that they are endowed by their case was stuffed – a "must" for a lens this expensive!

Take it all in – eyes WIDE open – Michael L. Nistler –
If you are a very broad target, which is well constructed vert, so the goal for you. The closest you can get only a few centimeters from the subject and still capture a wide field of view. For videography, even a small Pan is a big change visual scene. Since soooo far, everything is in focus.
Great addition to collection of lenses, but not as a 2nd lens – J. Lee – California, USA
