EOS 350D + Sigma 8MM fisheye

[peteloud]

Hi Guys,

I am considering buying am EOS 350D and a Sigma 8mm fisheye to use with it early in Nov., can any give me any advice? I am particularly interested in using this lens for 360 degree panoramas.

What is the price, and where, of the standard 350D, (+18-55mm), and the Sigma fisheye.

Anyone have any opinions on the suitability of the combination.

Cheers,

With the crop factor of the 350D, you're not going to get the full effect of the circular fisheye, which is a real pity.

With the 1.5x crop of the S2pro, it will look something like... http://www.pbase.com/uli1/sigma

It'll be slightly tighter on the 350D. The top and bottom edges will be cropped.

Apart from that, it's not an everyday use lens and there are only a few situations which will work with the fisheye. Imo, not woth the money unless you find one on the cheap.
