Hello everyone,
I recently purchased Canon D60 and a housing, and used it last weekend.
I was really impressed by the quality of images from D60.
However, I was kinda disappointed about images taken by 15mm fisheye.
As most of you know, images from D60 with 15mm fisheye isn't that wide, since D60 does not have a full-frame sensor.
I of course was prepared for it, but it was much narrower than I imagined.
Now, I'm considering to get Sigma 8mm fisheye, instead.
The lens is very unique and gets circular images.
The cropped image of D60 & 8mm fisheye with 1.6X telephoto effect by 23mmx15mm sensor is similar to full-frame image with 15mm fisheye, i guess.
I think there still are un-reflected area on the edge, since 8mm fisheye is making a view in just 22.1mm circle. I think it still will be a great wide-angle image, thou.
There might be several issues i need to think, like a port compatibility, an
optical vignetting, etc...
But, i'm just curious how the 8mm fisheye works for U/W with the smaller sensor of D60.
I have seen some U/W pics of the 8mm fisheye with full-frame image, but those were not as impressed as images of 15mm fisheye. Because, with
a full-frame image, 15mm fisheye is wide enough.
Does anyone have an experiense of using 8mm fisheye with digital SLR camera, or have seen an image taken by it?
Thanks,
KEN
