Great article. Just beginning to experiment with fish eye.

Do you use PS to stitch together your circular panoramas? I’ve been trying to figure it out for quite a while and would love to be able to create images on this level…. eventually.

Thanks so much for your help!!

I recently got a great bargain on a Rokinon 8mm f/3.5 from Amazon via Cameta for $260 (looks like it's back up to $290 now) and it's great fun! I really like the images and it seems to have less distortion than some others. I believe this same lens is also sold under the names Bower, Vivitar, and others. It's manual focus but the DOF is huge so it's not difficult to use. Check it out if you are in the market for an affordable fisheye. It also gives full coverage on crop sensors, so no blacked out corners either.

dunno why, but the photo of the lense is the one I find to be the best on this page.

You have nice photos. I’m lovin’ them. If they’re yours, lol.
I’ve always been interested in photography and I’m just now taking a step in it and actually making it a hobby.
Photography is an expensive hobby yes.
I’m not really experienced with fish eye lens. I don’t know much about them. What brands are the best or anything.
So I settled with ordering a cheap one. Just to figure out what I’d want more into the future. It was about $55 dollars.
I have a Canon Rebel XS

The photo I like best on this page is the one with the person holding the tea cup.

For now, I’ve got a Tokina 10-17mm and that’s adequate for the present. It’s 50/50 whether I ever get a circular.

Hi, I’ve got a Canon 400D and recentl bought a Canon 15mm F2.8 diagonal fisheye lens, which is jus fab. Now I want to buy a circular fisheye and can’t choose between the following: Sigma 4.5mm F2.8, Sigm 8mm F3.5 or Sigma 10mm F2.8. Any suggestions on which circular fisheye is best suited for my Canon 400D? Thanks.

I am an fisheye addict looking to shoot some “planet” panoramas. Anyone know where I can find a good tutorial for shooting and editing in CS3?

Those who are shopping, look Tokina 10-17mm. You won’t be disappointed. Evidence here…

Thanks!
