Sigma 10mm f/2.8 EX DC HSM Fisheye Lens for Canon Digital Camera USA
Specifically designed for digital SLR cameras equipped with APS-C size image sensors, the Sigma 10mm f/2.8 EX DC HSM Fisheye Lens is a lens that captures a rectangular 167° view in all directions (when mounted on Canon SLR camera). The diagonal field of view of this fisheye lens produces striking images with exaggerated perspective and distortion.
The minimum focusing distance of 5.3" (13.5 cm) and maximum magnification 1:3.3 allows subjects to be as close as 0.7" (1.8 cm) from the lens' front element. This close focusing capability allows close-up photography and also it is possible to make use of large depth of field that covers wide range of subjects. Even the most familiar and mundane of subjects can be portrayed with startlingly fresh new expressions through exaggerated perspectives and unusual distortion effects. Well suited for academic and technical measurements such as solid angle measurements, cloud cover measurements & virtual reality.
DC lenses are exclusively designed for digital SLR cameras. The image circle (rear of lens) is made to match the smaller dimensions used for the image sensor on digital cameras. As a result, these lenses are also more compact and lightweight, and are better matched to digital SLR cameras.
Note! Not suitable for 35mm film SLR cameras, or for 35mm size "full-frame" digital cameras, e.g. Canon 1Ds or Kodak Pro SLR/c.
- Fast, ultra-wideangle rectangular-image lens.
- EX lens series denotes excellence of engineering and new technology.
- The HSM (Hyper Sonic Motor) system ensures quiet and high-speed auto focusing with full time manual focus override.
- The built-in lens hood blocks out extraneous light, and the Super Multi-Layer Coating minimizes flare and ghosting, creating superior image quality.
- A gelatin filter holder at the rear of the lens allows for the use of gelatin filters.

I love this lens. After much research I made a good choice. I was going to go with a 15mm then after asking a lot of questions I came to the conclusion that 10mm was the right choice. The extra 5mm gives a wider angle of view, which is what I need for doing panoramas. Plus it came with a free case.

Comments about Sigma 10mm f/2.8 EX DC HSM Fisheye Lens for Canon Digital Camera:
I have been using the lens for outdoor night time photography. It worked nice for northern light photos and very wide field astrophotography of the Milky Way. I noticed some slight ghosting from a red light slightly off the edge of the field of view in a few shots, but that was a minor issue. An astrophotgrapher friend of mine has this lens and loves it...I hope I can get to the point I can math his photos!

Comments about Sigma 10mm f/2.8 EX DC HSM Fisheye Lens for Canon Digital Camera:
I have been able to get some of the ultra-wide angle shots I have been trying to get for years. Landscapes are a bit soft with the auto-focus, but that can be fixed with a manual focusing tweak. Otherwise it focuses perfectly. The distortion is not nearly as pronounced as a circular fisheye so it makes for an incredible wide-angle lens. All in all this is an incredible lens.

Comments about Sigma 10mm f/2.8 EX DC HSM Fisheye Lens for Canon Digital Camera:
This lens received a lot of reviews and I found them to be very useful when I purchased the lens, therefore don't want to repeat what was already said. Yes, this is not the best lens, but this is the only one available in it's class for x1.6 Canon cameras. Price is a bit high, but the quality is acceptable. What I want to point out is that fisheye really helps to tell the story of the subject. Because of extreme wide angle and grotesque distortion you not just photographing a portrait but capturing the whole interaction and moment. I think it provides an amature photographer with a whole new perspective. This is my take on this subject.

Comments about Sigma 10mm f/2.8 EX DC HSM Fisheye Lens for Canon Digital Camera:
I bought this lens for landscape photography, and photographing the Aurora Boreallis. It works very well in low light. It also seems rugged enough to withstand the cold. Auto focus is great, very sharp, and accurate. I own two other Sigma lenses, and have been very happy with the their quality. Great lens overall, for lower price than Canon for those of us on a budget.

Comments about Sigma 10mm f/2.8 EX DC HSM Fisheye Lens for Canon Digital Camera:
Right out of the box good. The same day the lens arrived I took it to a night club and got some really great shots frist time out. With this lens is easy to get the effect you want in most any light. The color, like others have said wow there is color. Bottom line is this is a great lens if your looking for a fisheye you can't go wrong here.

Comments about Sigma 10mm f/2.8 EX DC HSM Fisheye Lens for Canon Digital Camera:
I recently switched from a Nikon to Canon to take advantage of Canon's solid HD video, as well as boosting megapixels and autofocus technology. I shoot a lot of BMX / action-sports photography, and a fisheye is pretty much a staple lens for me. One thing that caught me out about Canon is they don't offer a fisheye for APS like Nikon do (Nikon has a 10.5MM fish for DX). I looked around and the Sigma seemed to be the most solid of the 3rd party lenses, and at [$] it wasn't prohibitively expensive.I'm really happy with this lens both for video and photography. It's very sharp even at f2.8, and seems to resist flaring and ghosting well. It's easily as competant as my Nikon 10.5mm fisheye.It is also worth mentioning it's of a very solid build.Would definitely recommend this lens!

Comments about Sigma 10mm f/2.8 EX DC HSM Fisheye Lens for Canon Digital Camera:
first i was hesitant about buying a sigma lens i wanted the canon fisheye zoom but since i have a canon 50d the 1400 dollar price seems too high to pay so i looked at the sigma fisheye, read customer reviews, i have just used it for a couple of shots this thing is sharp, a filter people is a must, i got myself a neutral density. i hope to use this lens during all 4 seasons. i give four stars only that the angle of view is not 180 degrees but only 167.

Comments about Sigma 10mm f/2.8 EX DC HSM Fisheye Lens for Canon Digital Camera:
Haven't used it in the field yet, but initial testing at the shop and around the house have made me very confident in this lens. I bought this primarly for my work with a local skateboard shop to create images of their sponsored team members to decorate the shop. Since weather hasn't allowed us to skate since I purchased, I can't give more than four stars right now. However, this is the second Sigma EX series lens that I have purchased and the other (70-200 f/2.8) has always given me great results and was a major factor in my choice of this lens over other similar lenses.

Comments about Sigma 10mm f/2.8 EX DC HSM Fisheye Lens for Canon Digital Camera:
Overall this is a fabulous lens. The distortion is superb in comparison to any other fisheye that I have used. The image remains focused-even on the edges, which us much appreciated and very unexpected. The use of this lens for micro purposes has not been as great as touted by other users. The focus mechanism is tremendously quiet!

Comments about Sigma 10mm f/2.8 EX DC HSM Fisheye Lens for Canon Digital Camera:
I shoot with a 7D and I originally had the Canon 15mm fisheye that is more like a 24mm with distorted edges on a crop sensor. Of all the lenses I checked out and looked into the Sigma met everything I wanted. I primarily shoot skateboarding so I need a good fisheye. This is a fantastic third party lens that is awesome for everything I need.

Comments about Sigma 10mm f/2.8 EX DC HSM Fisheye Lens for Canon Digital Camera:
Its so wide angle! i tilt towards the ground and i can see my feet its such a fun lens. If you have a cropped body eg: 7d This lens is better than the canon 15mm because of the cropped factor. Also with the hood the comes with it, it makes vignetting. IT IS OPTIONAL!
