The Sigma 15 F 2.8 II xdg fisheye is a versatile lens designed for full-frame cameras, delivering extremely wide 180-degree field of view with strong barrel distortion. On APS-C cameras, it behaves more like a wide-angle lens with a lot of distortion. The build quality is solid and tough, however, the lens is a bit outdated in terms of design and weight. The autofocus system is slow and noisy, and the full-frame image quality is good in the middle but has issues in the corners, with noticeable vignetting, and chromatic aberration. The lens performs well in low light conditions, with a maximum aperture of f/2.8, and it can shoot close-up with nice bokeh. Overall, while the Sigma 15 F 2.8 II xdg fisheye can provide exciting images, it has some drawbacks in terms of picture quality in the corners and the outdated autofocus system.
The lens performs well in low light conditions, with a maximum aperture of f/2.8, and it can shoot close-up with nice bokeh.
