This auto focus circular fisheye lens has an angle of view of 180 degrees in all directions. It is exclusively designed for digital SLR cameras with the APS-C size image sensor. When used in conjunction with digital SLRs with APS-C size image sensors, it produces circular image within the frame.
The fast f/2.8 maximum aperture produces a bright image in the viewfinder making this lens ideal for low light photography.
This circular fisheye lens has a minimum focusing distance of 13.5cm and a maximum magnification of 1:6 making it particularly useful for close-up photography.
SLD (Special Low Dispersion) glass provides effective compensation of chromatic aberration and Sigma's Super Multi-Layer coating minimises flare and ghosting.
It is equipped with an inner focusing system that creates high definition and excellent image quality over the whole frame. The HSM (Hyper Sonic Motor)ensures fast and quiet autofocusing and allows full-time manual focus override by rotation of the focus ring.
This lens is ideal for photographers using computer stitching software which requires circular fisheye images to be input, resulting in stitched panoramas.
