I'm thinking about getting an 8mm fisheye (either the Sigma or the Peleng) for my 300D and my question is, with the 1.6 FOVC, is it worth it?

Does anybody with a 1.6 FOVC camera have either of these lenses that they could post a sample picture or two so I could get an idea of how much of the circle is cut off? The only pictures I can find online are either from 35mm cameras or from digital cameras with less FOVC.

Also, does anybody know enough about either of them to reccomend one over another? The price difference is pretty big, but I'm not sure the quality difference is enough to justify the extra $$ for the Sigma over the Peleng.

Thanks for any info!

I took a look at those, but I wasn't sure how much (or if at all) those had been cropped to take out any vignetting.

The Rebel crops the circle a little bit. I have the sigma and on my Mark II I get the full circle but on my Rebel It is slightly cropped.

i have the 15mm fisheye for my rebel and i love it. im assuming the 8mm crops a little bit of the circle (too drastic of an effect for me anyways) but im not sure. i love the 15mm though.
