Thanks for the response WJ,

Thought you might find the following announcement interesting.  It
looks like Sigma has improved some of their classic fisheye lenses!

3 new Sigma lenses

Japanese lens manufacturer Sigma have three new lenses to show at PMA.
The 28-200 f3.5-5.6 is a new generataion of this zoom range. With an
aspherical lens and LD glass it is improved from former generations.
This lens will sell for around $300.

Sigma 8mm f4 EX Circular Fisheye is a new lens that gives round images
on the negative. It has 10 elements in 6 groups. Angle of view is 180
deg. 

Sigma 15mm f2.8 is frame filling fisheye lens. The angle of view is
180 deg diagonally. It has 7 elements in 6 groups.

All three lenses will come in mounts for Sigma, Minolta Nikon (D),
Pentax and Canon.
