Sigma 4.5 mm f/2.8 EX DC CIRCULAR FISHEYE HSM

A rare and specialist piece of kit

You probably need more money than sense, or be a scientist on a grant to buy this. I am the former. Used on a D300 it gives a staggering globular image that you need to zoom in on with your preferred software to make a useable rectangular image.

Very unusual

should i have got the full frame nikon 10.5
