I hadn't thought of de-fishing, I was actually after the full frame fish eye effect (although I guess it is reduced on the 10d but will still have some of the distortion?). It certainly looks like the canon is the lens for me and I'd sooner get a Canon, I've been seduced by the percieved value for money of some sigma lense before and always been a little disapointed by the actual performance when I've had them. Flare certainly seems to be a big problem with wider Sigma, it certainly limits the use of my 15-30.
Marc,
You originally posted:
"I think I've narrowed it down to the Canon 15mm Fish Eye or the Sigma 14mm 2.8 HSM."
That Sigma is not a Fish Eye, their 15mm is.
er, yes, I looked at the 14 as it was ultra wide so will have some distortion and it seemed to be a better lens than the sigma 15mm fish eye. I'm going to see if I can try various lenses, I'm not sure how much difference there will be on a 10d between and ulta wide like the 14 and a 15mm ff fisheye. How much difference will there be in fov (without defishing?
You are correct, that the FE effect is reduced on 10D, I think you should try one to avoid possible disappointment.
I will certainly see if I can try on a 1.6x digi slr before I buy, it's certainly what is niggling me, especially after seeing what my 15-30 looks like on my eos5!
IME, the Canon 15 is quite "flare resistant". Just as well really, as trying to flag it is often impossible on FF.
thats a definate plus in the favour of the Canon as with these sort of lenses it is hard not to get the sun in the shot. for instance with the mountain biking photography, some of the shooting will be from below pointing upwards somewhat so that has a a goo chance of having the sun somewhere near or in the picture.
