Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I shopped around to get a fisheye that was exactly what I wanted. This is the one that I decided on. On an APS-C sized sensor, this will have the widest angle of view that I could find for sale. If you want that, get this lens. The problem is that there aren't too many uses for a near-180 degree field of view. I've used it for some candid, cheeky portraits but never for serious portraiture.
If you want to get a really wide angle lens, this is the one. Be prepared to crop way down into the center of the picture to minimize the distortion around the edges. Before dropping 700 bones, be sure that you WANT a fisheye. If you don't want a fisheye, you'll waste 700 bucks and a lot of space in your camera bag.
That said, this lens is so sharp. Even wide open (F/2.8) the depth of field is huge. From the front of the image to the very back the whole thing is sharp. If you expect some bokeh, you won't find it. I have a Sony Alpha and the HSM motor is the quietest AF I have ever heard. It is faster and quieter than my Sony kit lens. --And with the depth of field, you can afford to be a little off with the focus.
