If you ever want a unique point of view try a "fisheye" lens. Like looking through a door peephole (which in fact is a "fisheye" type) this order of lens sacrifices linear correction in favor of a very wide angle of view.

I wasn't sure about this lens when I couldn't find conclusive reviews or samples for this lens, but I'm glad that I took a chance. It's sharp and slightly wider than the Tokina 10-17mm (did a side by side with a friend's Tokina).

Consistent Output; Durable; Easily Interchangeable; Easy To Clean; Rugged; Sharp Focus; Strong Construction

CA in high contrast

Compared Nikon lens and Sigma. After evaluation came up to a conclusion that Sigma is better on my D3. Took great photos of night Manhattan.

Professional photographer and expert reviewer checks out Sigma's classy fisheye optic A wide aperture diagonal fisheye for APS-C sensor cameras, which offers an angle of view of 180 degrees from corner to corner.

Excellent resolution when stopped down; Good resolution in the centre at f/2.8; Chromatic Aberrations kept to acceptable levels; Build Quality; Silent focus motor

Curved hood makes lens difficult to place down without lens caps

very nice wide effect.. a very good fisheye.. was wondering if i would buy a canon 15mm fisheye.. but chose sigma 10mm fisheye and was very pleased with the results.

Consistent Output; Durable; Quick Focus; Sharp Focus

an alternate view of the world, warning this lens is addictive both my son and i have been sharing this lens to great effect buy it if you want to have a good lens for the money well made like most sigma lenses and comes with a decent pouch and lens hood and you want a diagonal fisheye view of...

A real funlens, incredible sharp from f6.3, beautiful colours, great flare-control, very nice construccion! Only the CA′s are quiete strong in both corners, but we are talking here about 10mm!

Fisheye lenses like this Sigma 10mm f/2.8 EX DC HSM are very popular thanks to massive interest in panorama photography

One of my "big boyzzz" lenses. Very creative and very strong optics. Beautiful finish....

very nice built; fantastic optics - very sharp and beautifull colours

a bit expensive; corner-cromatic-aberration

Although I have all Canon lenses and mostly L glass, I am over the top with this little gem. I love this Sigma 10mm! On my 1.6 body it will give me 162 degree angle of view. There is a filter in the rear of the lens which is very nice for adding ND filters when shooting slowmo water.

Very sharp; Will it distort? Hello! This is a Fisheye review
