Tips and Tricks
Removing Lens Cover From Sigma 8mm Fisheye
This is a potential pitfall for new users of this lens. The lens cover consists of a cap
and a short hood. The cap and hood need to be removed in order to get enough
angle of view for taking panos with 4 shots around.
Lens Ring Blocking Remote Port for Some Nikon DSLRs
It is reported that lens ring for Sigma 8mm for Nikon blocks the remote port for
Nikon D200/300/700 etc.
There are 3 ways to overcome this issue.
1. Attach the remote cord to camera before mounting the lens. There is just enough
clearance for the remote at the NPP setting of 1.4.
2. Rotate the lens ring plate away from the remote port if lens is already attached to
camera. Install the remote. Rotate the lens ring plate back.
3. Rotate the lens ring plate to handgrip side of camera. Now the handgrip will
point down when mounted on R10.
