Super fisheye?

[Brigham Edgar]

I have a client enquire about using this lens with RED on a Nikon mount, has anyone used this or something similar? He needs 180 degree shot.

I would prefer to use a PL mount if somebody knows of a PL mount version?

cheers.

Hello,

I do this with my Sigma 8mm on my Canon EOS 1DS MKIII. You can also get a Nikon version.

Funny thing is when I bought the Canon, it was only $500. They have both really gone up in price.

Best,

ATF

185° field of view Image circle: ~14.5mm

I no not think you will get a full circle with this lens. None of the full frame fisheye lenses will give you a full circle without using 2 lenses and a reversing ring.

It does not look like this would give me the full circular image recorded within the frame, or am i reading this incorrectly? He wants the full circlular image recorded within, obviously. Do you know if this will happen?

Nikon 6mm will work I think. Very rare & expensive lens. Not 8mm - sensor is too cropped.

Or else, just don't use a Red.

EDIT: Enzo is right, I think. Try an optical relay.

if there was a working Canon mount, you could use this:

Sigma 4.5mm F2.8 EX DC Circular Fisheye HSM

4.5 mm circular fisheye for Canon mount

That should work on the Nikon mount. My 7.5mm Canon FD just looks like you are shooting with a full-frame fisheye on a still camera on the RED. This 4.5mm should work.

Yes, i have been searching but i was seeming to get mixed answers and spending a lot of time getting them. Sometimes we all don't have the time and it's easier to quickly ask. Thanks for those links though, i'll be checking em now.

I think your best choice is the Sigma 4.5mm with a RED Nikon mount. The "rig it" deal with using 3 lenses and reversing rings works... but would be a bit of a pain on a real shoot with a client. I don't know if you will be able to do the put the lens a a still camera stop down and then put it on the RED trick with this lens since it does not have an iris ring. You can do that with Canon lenses but I do not know about the Nikon -- anyone? Or shoot at F2.8.....

Good luck.

Hi all!

I work in Novosibirsk Russia to the Planetarium, we also want to do a live video for the dome of the planetarium. Now we want to buy a camera and shoot RED EPIC 5K video. Of the lenses, we plan to use the Sigma 4.5 mm Canon mount, and Sunex Super FishEye 5.6 mm, T5.6 Canon mount.
