Re: Nikon 2.8/10,5 Sigma 3.5/8 or Tokina 10-17 ?

Hi Luis,
Unfortunately my personal experience with fisheye lenses is very limited. I liked Sigma 2.8/15 mm - it has significanly less flares and worked fine for me on old film full-frame F90X. I had no chance to evaluate other lenses myself. I like panos taken with Sigma 3.5/8 mm but it is not a direct experience. Would be also interesting to test new Sigma 10mm. Even if it is a bit less sharp than Nikkor but has less flares - it might be a good choice for crop for outdoor shooting.
Alex

Hi Alex,
Interesting observation on the use of the Nikkor 10.5mm lens, I think the
same. In your opinion, what are the best lens (Fisheye) for photographs
outside sunny environments?
