Okay folks. As you know I have no access to any photographic gear so all my shopping is online. Therefore I need your help here.
I am considering a Fisheye lens for the 5D. So now what Fisheye do you recommend and why. I will be relying on your opinions for my purchase.
Also if you have examples of images from that/those lenses....please show me.

15mm 2.8 canon or 15mm 2.8 sigma. for FF coverage and AF.
16mm Zenitar for cheapness.
8mm Sigma or Peleng circular for insane wideness but major vignetting. |

what's your budget and what do you want to use it for?
I have the Peleng 8mm. I like it a lot, it was only like $200. |

Not sure of the budget...basically if there is one that I end up wanting more than the other than I will hold off until I can afford it. Does that make sense!
In other words...I want it now...but if I like one better than the other than I will wait until I can get it.

| Just get the canon 15mm 2.8 unless you need a circular fisheye or want an expensive medium format manual focus fisheye. |

I've used the Canon 15mm fisheye on my 20D and was never too impressed with it (too much of the fisheye effect is cropped out on a 1.6x sensor). Then when I got the 5D (full frame), I fell in love.

Some shots from my Peleng 8mm f3.5, I love this thing.
Fisheye Madness
I modified it to focus closer. In some shots, the subject's nose is touching the fron element. |
