The Best lens out there for Virtual Media
Love this Lens! I bought this lens for Google Street View photography, and it works like a charm. It takes no time to focus, and gets 4 Inches to Infinity in perfect focus. Being a fisheye lens, it can be used very creatively, though it's main purpose I presume is to create Virtual Media like...

The Sigma 8mm f/3.5 is a very well constructed lens. accidentally, it drop 2 times out of my camera bag from 50cm on a wooden floor and continues to work great.Being a circular fisheye, it shows vignetting on a cropped sensor camera and a full circular image on full frame sensors.
Pros:
- Very wide angle

Sigma 8mm f/3.5 EX DG Circular Fisheye review by lensreporter
Real Fun-lens - funky-punky.... optically very strong, sharp, complete circle (not that bullshitcercle from Peleng 8) nearly without flare (forget the cheepo-Pelengo....!). Very good construction, but take care of the frontlens.
Pros:
- Fantastic perspective - 360 = FUN - sharp
- nice buildings
- very few CA´s
- NO FLARE
Cons:
- take care on the frontlens

Lots of fun, lots of variety
Adds a flexibility to a wedding photographers kit. Have used successfully with a rayflash ring flash adapter to produce "Jarvie Window" images (look it up) at weddings and parties.
Pros:
- Consistent Output
- Durable
- Easily Interchangeable
- Lightweight
- Sharp Focus
