The Sigma 15mm f/2.8 EX DG Diagonal Fisheye is a full-frame fisheye auto focus lens that fills the entire 35mm negative with a full 180 degree diagonal field of view. This unique lens enables you to create a variety of unusual compositions even when shooting ordinary subjects.

The improved DG lens coating reduces flare and ghosting, which is a common problem of digital cameras, and also creates an optimum color balance.

Since most Digital SLR cameras use a smaller image sensor size (APS-C) than 35mm film cameras, 180 degree angle-of-view can not be obtained with Digital SLR cameras. With those cameras only the center part of the frame is used, therefore, peripheral distortion will be very small.

The super wide angle of this lens makes it ideal for use with digital SLR cameras, providing a focal view of approximately 23mm.

This diagonal fisheye lens has an angle of view of 180 in the diagonal direction as well as minimum shooting distance of 15cm (5.9in.)

Minimum Shooting Distance of 15cm (5.9in.)

The minimum shooting distance of this lens is only 15cm(5.9 inch) and it has maximum magnification of 1:3.8. Minimum shooting distance of 15cm (5.9in.) and large depth of field allow close up photography that covers the objects surrounding the photographic subject like an insect or flower.

Gelatin Filter Holder

This lens is supplied with a gelatin filter holder at the rear, allowing the use of gelatin filters.

It can be used with Digital SLR cameras

Digital SLR, that has smaller image sensor size than 35mm film cameras. Therefore, angle of view of 180 cannot be obtained with Digital SLR cameras. However, it uses only the center part of the frame, therefore, peripheral distortion will be very small. You can shoot as normal ultra wide angle lens.
