I'm looking into buying a Sigma fisheye with some of my tax refund (i love refunds). I can find pictures from the Peleng 8mm but couldnt find any from the Sigma.

Can anyone help me?

Thanks

Here are two shots from mine (the flower is just resized, and the suv is a crop).

It seems pretty sharp even wide open (3.5), and that AF is pretty quick considering the large distance it has to cover in order to focus (the range is pretty massive). Perhaps i'll post some 100% crops later if I get the chance.

heck, I may even be persuaded to part with the old boy..

I can write up a review of the lens tomorrow in addition to providing some 100% crops for better analysis. For now it'll suffice to say that it's a pretty solid lens if you have the uses for it.
