I've seen many Peleng 8mm fisheye photos but none of Sigma 8mm fisheye so far. Can anyone share photos taken with Sigma 8mm fisheye?
Ignoring the cost, which has better quality picture?

I'm tempted to get a Sigma, since I use the fishy so much for landscapes and the Sigma seems a lot better on flare... 5DII - 350D ; Bronica S2A, Leica IIIc&M2, Rolleiflex T etc!

You can see the wash in the bottom right corner.... on the edge of the vinyetting. Canon EOS 300D (Silver)

Thanks for your comments guys! I still haven't decided, which lens I'm going to get. Tempted to get the Sigma, however Peleng is $400 less. On the other hand I guess there is no Peleng "customer support/service" if anything happen with the lens. AJ
