Sigma 15mm F2.8 DG Fisheye?

Yes, it's 1P, Pine Grove

And yes, this lens is more suitable for full-frame format. Those looking for a fisheye lens for their APS-C sensor camera bodies should go for the Sigma 10mm f/2.8 EX DC instead.

so, if I am looking for a 180 degree but do not want a fisheye effect, this lens is the best there is? Sigma 15mm f/2.8 EX DG. $800 very steep leh, would try looking around for better price and update... Many thanks.

any other bros have tried using this Sigma 15mm f/2.8 EX DG on crop camera? How's the IQ?

If you want 180 degree angle of view, only fisheye lenses can provide that. Sigma 15mm FE is reputed to be as sharp if not sharper than the other branded Fisheye lenses.

If you want the 180 degree view and not the fisheye effect, then get the fisheye and defish the images with a suitable defishing software eg. Fisheye-Hemi

The defished image from a 15mm FE like the Sigma is even wider than that from a normal 14mm rectilinear ultra-wideangle lens.
