View Full Version : Fisheye for APS-C cameras?

Anyone know of any impending or planned release of a full circle, 180 degree FOV fisheye lens for 1.6 crop cameras? So far, the only thing I've found out there is the Raynox 185mm add on that would do that job when screwed to the front of my 17-85mm. But, I'd hate to pay $450+ for an add on if one of the recognized lens makers is going to release a true APS-C fisheye lens anytime soon. Thanks!

Tokina has a 10-17 fish for cropped sensors coming out. I think at 10mm it has 180 degrees diagonol FOV.

That's interesting, Tee Why. I'll watch for that. Thanks.

Anyone know anything else?

I know it's not "offical" but the peleng 8mm gives you 180, and about $200

I'd like to see Canon release an EF-S one. Nikons version seems well liked.

Peleng is made for a FF, hence some of the image is cropped off on a cropped sensor.
It does still give you a really large FOV though. Almost 180 degrees.

Doesn't canon have a 10mm EF-S?

Only the wide end of the 10-22mm zoom and its not a fisheye

The Peleng gives a full 180 degrees. For FF it gives a circular field. For 1.6 crop it works almost like a full-frame fish-eye (like the EF15) except the very corners are still cut off - the image circle just doesn't cover the whole sensor.

Exactly. I use it on my 20D at times and you do get a full 180 degree field of view. On the 1D Mk2n, you get almost a full circle in your image... but the FOV is the same on both cams.
