btw the fisheye effect won't be as prominent on the 1.6x crop.

thanks,
I don't see them in a search today. but moscow price is still good.
but first I need to order a canon 1.8 55mm.
I know cheap, but I don't want to invest too much till I have the 7d in my
hand - lol.
If they DELAY like Panny, who knows what Nikon might tempt us with on
the EVE of My canon delivery!

yeah, i was wondering about that. So if you get one of those EXTENDER
ones I posted, is the crop ALREADY accounted for by the BASE lens?

i think the best fisheye for the 7d is going to be the sigma 10mm. its $700, which is still a good amount. but much cheaper than century xtreme for my hmc150. thats a main reason i'm getting the 7d, i had saved up for the xtreme(~$3000) but with the 7d having 60p it was the perfect reason to get it instead of xtreme.

thanks for that, didn't know tokina made that lens. only issue is its not a 2.8. but still probably a fantastic lens.

might try and shoot some today, it's a struggle under the sun though because you can't attach filters to it.
