You can use any lens to produce a virtual image, its just a matter of how many shots it will take to get 100% coverage of the interior of the sphere/cube

The Sigma 10mm Fisheye suffers from pretty bad Chromatic Aberration and may not be the best choice. You would be better off with a Tokina 10-17mm Zoom Fisheye.

Either way, you will require 6 rotational shots plus a Zenith shot. A hand held or tilted tripod Nadir shot if you want to remove the tripod from your panorama.

I am writing from turkey. Here you find every lens I do not have opportunities. I found the sigma 10mm but coincidence. I could not find Tokina lens.

var canon 450d photo machine. I am planning to buy Sigma 10mm fisheye. Can shoot 6 horizontal 1 upper?

Yes, shoot 6x rotational images at 60 degree click stops with -10 degrees tilt down. 1x Zenith shot at +70 to +90 degrees tilt up. 1x Hand Held Nadir shot where the tripod was.
