[QUOTE="BackdoorArts, post: 231917, member: 9240"] The Rokinon is much like the Sigma 15mm fish, it's 180 degrees on the diagonal. I have them both and use the Rokinon on my DX bodies and the Sigma on my D600 and D800. Field of view is close to identical, but since you're bringing it up I may just need to do an empirical test today. I'll shoot the D600 and D90 since they are the sensors in question here. As was pointed out, the D610's sensor is comprised of more, and larger pixels than the D90. The D90 will actually have better resolution at the DX crop (10MP's vs. 12MP's), but the newer technology of the D610's sensor may more than compensate for the differences. That said, if you want to go full frame then get a lens that will take advantage of that. Or opt for the D800 will will allow you to shoot at 16MP's with the Rokinon, while giving you 36MP's to play with the rest of the time. In this case, you're either dropping money on another Fisheye or about the same amount to upgrade to the D800. [/QUOTE]
