next to most other fish-eyes that I've handled. The results it produces are more than respectable and you can usually
find them for quite reasonable prices, especially if you're not trying for a pristine "collectors" quality example. The
one I have is quite beat up but still takes photos flawlessly.

Hey Folks,
I'm in the market for a good fish-eye lens for my ZX-5n. (Well, really, it's for me.)
I'm looking at buying either a used Pentax 17/4.0, or perhaps a Sigma 15/2.8. Does anyone on this list have comments about either lens? I tend to stick with Pentax lenses, but if the 17/4.0 is considered comparatively weak next to the Sigma 15/2.8, I'd be interested to hear about it.
I do macro work so always focus manually. What matters to me is the quality of the optics. I like an extremely deep depth of field, so I expect I'll be shooting with the lens stopped down all the way...
Cheers
Barry
