Re: My Latest Enablement

The image circle of the 8mm circular fisheye has a diameter of about 
24mm which gives an "almost" full frame fisheye on an approximately 24mm 
x 16mm APS classic format.  You can see the results in Muellers 
uncropped photo using the 8mm Peleng on a Nikon D2h

Compare this to the uncropped results from my Vemer 12mm f8
http://www.mindspring.com/~pjalling/PESO_--_cgbchg.html
The image circle of the 12mm fisheye easily covers the 28~29mm diagonal 
of the APS C size sensor on the *ist-D. 

The Peleng does however seem to be the sharper lens.

Actually it's image circle is a tad smaller than that required to cover 
an APS sized sensor.  The Vemer/Spiritone/Sigma
12mm is just about right.  (Thought the Peleng is probably a sharper
   

lens).

You could always try the partial frame 8mm Peleng fisheye. Although it
doesn't cover the whole 24x36 frame, I've read that it does cover an
APS-sized sensor. It's available from some of the Zenitar sources.
