Ahh... so this fisheye does not produce a true 180 degrees circular
image. It's still cool, thoughh.
I agree with Kim that camera manufacturers tend to make betters lenses,
but the Sigma 8mm fisheye is the only one I know that gives a circular
image.
Then again, having a Canon 5D with the Sigma 8mm is an expansive
proposition considering that a small christmas ball (3$ for 16) and a
small point-and-shoot camera with manual controls can do 90% of the job.
