First you have to have a fullframe camera, which means a Canon 5D or a 
1Ds
To use it on a Canon you use an adapter which you can get in many 
versions.
I use the cheapest of them all a russian one  at $40.

The idea is that you get almost full circle.
The 10,5 mm has a full circle of about 194 degrees and this circle is 
28mm so on a fullframe you get 140x194 degrees.

You can do full cubics in 3 images.
The quality is much better than the Sigma 8mm but you do not get more 
resolution than I for example have on the 20D with the Sigma 8mm.

I already used the 10,5mm on my 20D which gives me very high quality 
but with the 5D I now have a Canon 15mm which is even better.
The shaved 10,5 is now for special action shots.
