The sigma 15-30 also flares very badly, it can really make things hard work. Which points me towards the Canon then I guess. If I can get one whilst I'm here in Chicago.On 15/1/05, Marc Davison (home), discombobulated, unleashed:
I'm off to the states tomorrow and whilst I was there I thought I might try and pickup and Ultrawide/Fisheye for my 10d. From surfing around I think I've narrowed it down to the Canon 15mm Fish Eye or the Sigma 14mm 2.8 HSM. Aside from landscape type stuff I also want to use it for shooting Mountain Biking, therefore the speed is quite important.What are people experiences of either of these two lenses, are there alternatives I've over looked? Does anyone else out there shoot mountain biking (or similar), what lenses do you use?
I have the Sigma - it's flares like a hippy if the sun is out so needs flagging unless you don't mind more time hunched over the computer....
Otherwise, it's not bad for the money. I've adapted a Pentax SMC K 15mm 3.5 to EOS and it doesn't flare anything like the Sigma but that's Pentax for you - excellent coating. The Canon 14 would be nice.
Looks like there is plenty of photo potential here judging by what I can see from my hotel window, have got my Eos5 and 15-30 with me so lots of real wide angle potential :-)
