[QUOTE="TwistedThrottle, post: 744828, member: 46724"] Depends largely on what you want it for and what other lenses you already have. I specifically chose the 8mm because I wanted a lens wider than the rest of what I had, it's a compliment to my lens collection. Although true that the fisheye effect can be applied in post, the angle of view can not, (neither can the circular effect be duplicated by putting the 8mm on full frame). I can apply fisheye effect to a shot from my 11mm lens, but the shot with the 8mm fisheye will still be wider. If I had decided to go for the 12mm fisheye with the lenses I already have, it would have created an unnecessary overlap, IMO. All that said, the 8mm is my least used lens. Full disclosure, it's an awkward lens due to the big bulbus front element and accompanying lens cap. But I would go and get this same lens if it ever broke. [/QUOTE]
