Please help me out here, I got everything lined up to start shooting panorama's. Got the Panohead, got the 350D, but I've been waiting for two months to get my Sigma 8mm fisheye. Now I just called the shop (again!) And they told me it's still in backorder, no ETA but it should take at least 3 more weeks and probably longer. So screw 'em!

What is a good substitute for the Sigma lens. It has to work with panoweaver offcourse.

Please help me out here... I need to get started :(

I would wait for the Sigma (try buying from another country) importing is not so scary and is common place these days.

If you wish to get going straight away grab a Russian made Peleng 8mm

A lot of professional photographers use B & H Photo Video in New York City. http://www.bhphotovideo.com We have bought from them too. You might use FEDex shipper. They usually will clear your item through customs.

Here is a link to the Sigma 8mm (In stock) page. Pick the one that fits your camera.
