The Sigma 10mm would be a much better choice, being made for the crop cameras like the 40D. The 8mm is made to give a circular image on film/FF and the image circle does not cover the whole of the 40D's frame. You then have to either go with black corners or crop every image down to the smaller rectangle that does fit in the circle.
