Hi, Im trying to get some proper equipment together to start shooting some panos. Ive done so in the past but have always used friends, or uniersities equipment.
Ive got myself a Canon 10D 2 hand quite cheap and Im now looking for a lens. Id ideally like a fisheye lens although I know theyre very expensive. Can someone give me some advice on Which fisheye lens would be appropiate, some examples of the prices and where I could get my hands on them either online websites, ebay, etc.
Cheers.

Sigma 8mm f/3.5 US$650 +/-
Sigma 10mm US$700 +/-
Sunex 5.6mm US$800 +/- Sunex.com

Prices from Hong Kong sellers on Ebay can offer considerable savings over UK prices, and some guarantee to reimburse any taxes that might be levied on the import. I have used UR Galaxy four times without any problems and haven't yet been asked to pay taxes on any of them. Delivery is around 1 week. Typical prices (inc shipping):
Sigma 10mm £340
Tokina 10-17mm £280
Sigma 8mm £330
