Sigma’s 15mm F2.8 EX DG Diagonal Fisheye is a diagonal fisheye which means the distorted scene is shown full frame within the camera’s field of view. It allows photographers to shoot creative images by taking advantage of the acute perspectives that are invisible to the human eye. The diagonal fisheye is the most popular kind of fisheye and are often used by wedding photographers who want to give an “artistic” looks to images, by underwater photographers who want to take in the maximum field of view possible and by scenic photographers. A focusing distance of 5.9 inches and a magnification ratio of 1 to 3.8 allows the photographer to have fun with placement of subjects extremely near to the camera with distorted backgrounds. In the hands of an artist this lens can produce memorable, eye-catching images

Features

Minimum Shooting Distance of 15cm

The minimum shooting distance of this lens is only 15cm(5.9 inch) and it has maximum magnification of 1:3.8. Minimum shooting distance of 15cm (5.9in.) and large depth of field allow close up photography that covers the objects surrounding the photographic subject like an insect or flower.

It can be used with Digital SLR cameras

Digital SLR, that has smaller image sensor size than 35mm film cameras. Therefore, angle of view of 180 cannot be obtained with Digital SLR cameras.
