FS: Sigma 8mm/f4.0 circular fisheye, EOS-mount conversion


  • From: Willem-Jan Markerink <w.j.markerink@xxxxx>
  • Subject: FS: Sigma 8mm/f4.0 circular fisheye, EOS-mount conversion
  • Date: Fri, 22 Jan 1999 00:44:14 +0000


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.

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:
