I keep seeing the SIGMA 4.5mm f2.8 DC HSM FISHEYE listed on eBay. I am wondering if anyone owns this lens and if they can provide samples. I noticed there are no samples in the lens archive. Is there a sample thread that is unlisted?

I feel like with 4.5mm I'd be able to see my knuckles and my finger on the shutter

Apparently the FOV is > 360 degrees, and lets you see back in time!

In other words, I'd like to see some samples too.

I've rented this for a camping trip to the desert, so next week I'll have some samples to share!
So far here's one shot. I know it doesn't give a great feel for the lens, but I'll bring some others back.

It's pretty ridiculous looking through this lens.. focus seems to be able to go literally to touching the front of the glass. It comes with a removable fitting to attach filters and a lens cap in front, but to get the full 180-degrees that has to come off.
If anyone knows of a better place to start a sample thread let me know!

I own a 4.5mm - used it on my 40 and 50d's - but have sold them now, and am on a 5d2. I listed mine on Ebay but it didn't reach the price I was looking for - so maybe you'd seen mine :) Here are a few sample images from mine that might be useful. It certainly gives an extremely wide view there's no doubt.

I didn't end up using this lens much when I rented it, but here are a few more. Kinda hard to take full advantage of the crazy field of view!
