I recently tried using a Canon 5d and Tokina 10-17@10mm 180 diagonal Fisheye lens.

We were thinking that this Tokina lens might be similar as the Nikkor 10.5 lens that also has a 180 degree diagonal fisheye.

Stitching results with 6 images  +1T and 1B were not good if not impossible. Just thought I should alert the VR community.

The lens view (left ) and lens (right) are both in Portrait orientation.  The lens black masking and lens sunshade shape don't seem to correspond.   Ahhh never mind just cut the lens hood off and be done with it.

Unfortunately, its not my lens (now on its way to the UK).  However, my friend who is buying it.. has already suggested the cut off... but they the 350d and not the full frame Canon 5d camera.

Looks feasible to me, but that lens hood has to go!

daves - just curious why u dint get the new 8m sigma?

8mm F3.5 EX DG Circular Fisheye   180

It is feasible with the tokina 1017 also. check the link below and enjoy

Hi VT

Very nice picture. It looks like the tokina is a very good alternative to the nikkor 10,5mm. My dream set up is still nikkor 10,5mm and canon 5D :o)

mine dream setup

nikkor 8mm with a canon 5d or canon 1d 

or with a fullframe 8mm sigma (the new one that smooth has)

I own both and I have a Canon 15mm Fisheye arriving tomorrow I will post some samples taken on my Canon 5D in the coming days.

Regards, Smooth

Hey Smooth,  yes I would like to see the Canon 15mm FE foot print on the Canon 5d sensor too, just to compare it to the Tonkina foot print.
