Anyone own or use a Peleng or Sigma 8mm fisheye lens?
I’m in the market for a fisheye lens and want an 8mm. I’m shooting with a Canon Digital Rebel XT. If you have one of these or have used one, what do you think of it? Is the Peleng inconvenient to use since it’s not auto-focus? Is it worth it to pay more for the Sigma, or is the quality of the Peleng decent? Thanks!
I haven’t ever owned one, but they make for great photos.
I’ll try to help a little…
For auto-focusing, it’s just prefrence. If your buying a fish-eye lens then you’re probably a bit more into photography. I think your photos would benefit from having a manual control over your auto-focus. While auto-focus is great, it’s not always how you want your pictures to turn out.
