FS: Sigma 8mm/f4.0 in EOS mount

[Willem-Jan Markerink <w.j.markerink@xxxxx>]

Semi-panoramic item For Sale:

- Brand new Sigma 8mm/f4.0 in Canon EOS mount
- Includes box, manual, blank warranty cards and 3 filters (internal screw 
system)

- US$900, or make offer.

This is a special modification, as Sigma doesn't make this lens in
EOS-mount (and currently they don't seem to make it in any mount
other than on special request/order!). So it does not have AF nor aperture
coupling, only manual focus and working aperture, but a fine piece
of optics nontheless, on par with OEM optics of other
brands....Nikon/fisheye expert David Ruether (aka Bob Neumann on
Usenet) rates it on par with the Nikon 8mm/f2.8, which is not only
more expensive, but also more bulky and more heavy.

I haven't completed the modification to EOS yet, so it is also 
available in its original mount, Contax/Yashica, for US$750.

For technical details on this Sigma and other fisheyes (both full 
frame and circular, both 35mm and medium format), including some 
pictorial samples, check my homepage:

I also have a lead on an older version Sigma 8mm/f4.0 with Konica 
mount (I didn't even know they ever made them for Konica mounts!), 
mail me if you are interested in that one in specific.
