I have the sigma 8mm f/4 fisheye and it says it comes with a gelatin filter holder in the rear. Where do i find these filters? I used ebay real quick for gelatin filters but come up with these huge kodak filters.
can someone help me out?

There's no polarizing gel filter that I've ever seen, and on a fisheye, the effect would look uneven in sky photos. What you can do though is get a Neutral Density gel filter (2x-4x), which will give you some polarizing effect without the unevenness.
