    Nice wish list v6,

    I dont like that camera armour, I had a play around with it on a friends camera and it was a pain in the ass. Doesnt weather seal the camera either.

    I also recon the 15mm fisheye isnt wide enough, I would get a 8mm - 10mm fisheye and then chuck a 1.4x tele converter on it when you want less fish.

    I'm aiming for the following lineup.

    Peleng 8mm fisheye (have)
    Canon 10-22mm (want)
    17-40mm L (have)
    60mm 1:1 Macro (have)
    70-200 L f2.8 (want)
    100-400L (want)
    30D (have)

    but it's a sigma. :| i dunno.

    though the prospect of the full frame circle would be nice when i step up to a new body. i'd like to fire a shot through it first before shelling out the $700 with the 30d's sensor.

    sometimes i just like the bubble, i have a .42x adapter on an olympus point and shoot that has an ISO of 50 which i love it's b&w for the achingly slow POS that it is as long as i mount it to something

    i guess that's why it's still over there on the wish list :(

    On a 1.6 crop camera like a 30D/40D you only lose the very corners like this.

    On a FF cam you get a perfect circle pretty much. If you put on a 1.4x tele converter on a 8mm you dont see the black coners at all and your fish eye becomes a 11mm. Still much wider than a 15mm fisheye.

    15mm fisheye is just a general wide angle with bad barrel distortion :)
