Has anyone samples of wedding details taken by a fisheye lens? I used to do it with a wide lens and it looked pretty cool.
Now I am thinking to get this lens, but am struggling whether i should go with Sigma wich allows to focus closer, or Canon ( prefer having canon lenses instead of third party)..
So I would like to hear your opinions and see some samples of detail shots as well. Thanks!

PS. Shooting with 5d2

I am very happy with my Canon fisheye. I've used it at a couple of weddings for a few very specific shots, but I don't think I've ever used it for details.

I'm not a wedding shooter but I've shot both lenses and while its subtle, I actually think the Sigma had better sharpness across the entire frame and the color/contrast was a little better than the Canon. I'm like you in preferring Canon glass but this was a notable exception. Not a wedding but below is a sample taken near MFD with the Sgima...
