Sigma 4.5mm f/2.8 EX DC Circular Fisheye HSM - WIDE!

I’ve always wanted a fisheye lens, but the only one that tempted me by being wide enough (and not costing a bomb) was the Peleng 8mm f/3.5mm from Belarus.

Plus it has a fast f/2.8 aperture and HSM! And it’s pretty small and neat meaning it’s convenient to carry around.

Whoa, it costs more than USD1000 more than the Peleng. However, it does have its merits being auto-focus (often I could spoil a batch by misfocus, despite its supposed insane DOF.) I’d often have to focus by distance scale, not by eye.
