Fisheye

[wyogirl]

I'm thinking about getting a fisheye lens for some experimenting... just for fun. So... I don't wanna spend a lot of moola. Any decent fisheyes out there on the cheap?

Full-frame (no, not DX v. FX.. full frame as in corner-to-corner), or circular?

OK, now... DX or FX?

umm... dunno! I'll google some images and let you know.

Full frame.

My first reaction is to suggest the Nikkor 10.5. After that, the Samyang / Bower / Rokinon 8mm.

I shoot canon crop sensor... isn't Nikkor a Nikon lens? (maybe dumb question)

Well, then... scratch the Nikkor thing.

Off to search the sofa cushions for loose change! Maybe I'll do laundry in search of pocket money. Finders keepers and all.

I have been looking at a circular fisheye lens as well. The Sigma 8mm F3.5 EX DG Circular Fisheye lens looks interesting: 8mm F3.5 EX DG Circular Fisheye
