Incredible Lens
This lens is really incredible... The quality has always been great with Sigma and this lens is as great as Sigma's reputation...
If you plan to use this lens with a Digital Camera, do not forget that there is a x1.2 coefficient (this lens is a 15mm but used on a Digital Camera, it turns into a 18 or 20mm). If you want the effect of a fisheye (180degrees), consider buying a shorter lens (8mm).
The 15mm fisheye from Sigma is a great super wide angle if used on a digital camera...
