From what you've posted so far, you have no existing lenses (you were thinking about either Nikon or Canon), so does that mean you've neverowned a DSLR before, and have notused a film SLR before? So the question is, what will you use the fisheye for, specifically, and have you used a fisheye before?? |

Yup, that's correct. I've only used an Olympus E-3 model. No film just a Digital slr. Not only do I need a fisheye lens but a 50mm and a 24-70mm. The fisheye will be used to try to squeeze shots of urban subjects all into one frame. This'll be my first fisheye lens. Which brings up my next question. Ken Rockwell says on his website that the 15mm Canon fisheye lens is superior to Nikon's 10.5 fisheye lens. How is that?

As previously mentioned, the Nikon 10.5mm is for DX, not for full frame.(not for the FX sensor on theD700) So the equivalent field of view on a DX camera (e.g. D300) is around 16mm. So he could be talking about larger field of view, better sharpness, less CA, etc... And of course, you do realise that the fisheye's imagewill be heavily distorted?? If you want to queeze urban subjects into one frame, then why not use a panorama program, such as PTGui?? |

For the full frame D700 you should be looking at the 16mm Nikon fisheye not the DX format 10.5.
