Sigma EX DG 485306 8mm

8mmf/22Nikon F
Why we recommend this ▼

Its defining characteristic is the full 180-degree circular image it projects onto full-frame sensors, creating a distinctive, frame-filling fisheye effect. The use of SLD glass and a Super Multi-Layer coating ensures strong correction of chromatic aberration and effective flare suppression for clean image quality. This lens is best for experimental photographers and astrophotographers seeking a dedicated circular fisheye perspective, not a standard rectilinear wide-angle.
