Sigma 8mm f/3.5 EX DG Fisheye - Canon EF

Sigma 8mm f/3.5 EX DG Fisheye is a Canon EF-mount full-frame fisheye prime with autofocus and a 180-degree field of view. Built in Sigma’s EX finish, it has the solid, dense feel typical of the company’s older premium lenses, with a bulbous front element and fixed petal hood that leaves no room for front filters. The DG designation means it was designed for full-frame and APS-C DSLRs, with the full-frame look giving the strongest fisheye effect and the familiar circular-to-diagonal distortion depending on framing. At 8mm it focuses very close, which makes it popular for dramatic interiors, action, skate and creative landscape work where edge stretch and exaggerated perspective are the point. Image quality is characterful rather than clinically corrected, with strong barrel distortion and noticeable vignetting at the extremes as expected for the type. Used buyers should check autofocus accuracy, smooth focus ring action, front element condition, internal dust, and for any haze, fungus or impact marks around the protruding front group and mount.
