Customer Reviews
I read a lot of reviews and ended up settling on a new copy of this lens instead of buying a used but mint condition Canon 15mm fisheye that was selling locally for about $45 more. Very glad I did. This is now my second Sigma lens (also own the 35mm 1.4) and I'm really digging their offerings and look forward to more of their "Art" series lenses they have in the works.First off, image quality is quite sharp and has great color rendition. Autofocus is very fast, silent, and accurate. I also like that switching to manual disengages the focal motor for a smoother, easier focus pull. I haven't run into that in other lenses and I like it.The build quality feels great, the lens cap stays on firmly (people complain that the Canon has issues with that) and it's an all around good looking lens. When I first removed the lens cap, that front element was a sexy piece of glass to look at. The padded case included is nice and sturdy and a lot more practical than the Canon cinch pouches included with some of their lenses (ie. I'm actually going to use it).For those leaving reviews about this not being a true fisheye, you're obviously using the lens on crop sensor cameras, you idiots. On a 1.6 crop sensor, you're going to end up with a wide angle 24mm lens. Pay attention and do your research before buying $600 pieces of equipment. I don't understand how anybody could have missed this point.That said, on my 5D III, this lens is most definitely a fisheye. Standing in one corner of a typical sized livingroom, you can pretty much capture the entire room in one frame. I'm definitely looking forward to using this for landscapes and live music events this summer.I have a feeling this will be one of my top go-to lenses for a good while. I'm very pleased with this purchase.
