Fisheye lens with close up ability designed exclusively for use with APS-C size digital SLR cameras
The Sigma Corporation is pleased to announce the launch of the new 10mm F2.8 EX DC FISHEYE HSM lens.

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.

If you are looking for a REALLY wide lens that's vert well built, then this is the lens for you. You can get as close as a few inches from your subject and still capture a wide field of vision. For videography, even a small pan gives a large visual scene change. And since it's soooo wide, everything remains in focus.

It's up to what other lenses you own. It's not for everyday use, and the price is not cheap. Bending on both sides can be annoying at times. And focusing isn't easy because everything is so small and looks focused on the LCD. But it takes photos that are very unique, and draws "wow" quite often. Whatever you're shooting, it's a great addition for special shot if you already have several lenses. Let me put it this way. You'll probably be using this lens no more than 10% (for most people). And if $[...] is ok for that 10%, then go for it. And, lens is a Bit heavy. One of my works using the lens:[...]

Built like a tank, fast and quiet autofocus, awesome optics. Beefier than the Nikon, the Sigma 10mm fish eye is an amazingly flexible lens. Well worth the investment!

I did a great deal of research before I bought this lens for my Canon Xsi (450D). It is my first Sigma lens (most others are Canon kit lenses - 18-55 mm; 55-250 mm along with a Lensbaby 2.0 and a Canon "Nifty Fifty" 50 mm 1.8 ) and I love it! I've already nicknamed it "The Tank" because it is hefty and well built(remember I am accustomed to kit lenses). It isn't the type of lens you keep on the camera all the time but it is definitely one that will go where ever the camera goes! I received it at 8 PM (dusk) and the street lights were already on but I got some acceptable shots with ambient light - it is fast and sharp, even at 100% crop and the focusing is decisive with no "hunting". If you enjoy images with non-traditional points of view this lens is worth it! I also like that it came with its own fitted, padded case - a must for a lens this expensive!

I bought this Sigma 10mm f/2.8 full frame fisheye lens for use with my Canon 30D. I really like the lens image quality, build quality and overall operation. I've already taken some fun pictures with it. I use it to complement my Sigma 10-20mm f/4-5.6 wide angle zoom. If you like take unique photos with an unusual perspective, you'll enjoy the Sigma 10mm fisheye and it's amazing depth of field. The lens also comes with a nice fitted case.
