Product Review
The Belomo/Peleng 8mm is made in the former Soviet republic of Belarus among Russia and Poland. It really is a circular fisheye lens for full-frame cameras for example the Canon EOS 5D Mark II. It creates a circular image that falls entirely within the camera's frame (with all the best very slightly cut off by the edge of the frame on my copy), and that image shows a 180-degree hemispherical field of view. On an APS-C camera like the Canon 7D, 50D, or any with the Rebels, the circle is bigger than the sensor, so the image will practically fill the frame, with tiny black locations within the corners. With either form of sensor, the image shows the dramatic, curving distortion that fisheye lenses are renowned (and infamous) for. (More Detail...)
