Will Sigma 8mm work as 12mm W/A lens on the S2 ??

[Igor]

Anybody tried this 8mm fisheye on the S2 ?
Just curious what would the results look like...

...but I've never used the lens myself. Trying to find someone with experience with it. Also, can it be converted to ultrawide angle with Panorama Tools? By the way, how are things in the Ukraine. Here is Missouri it's hot as h---!

It wouldn't be circular! It would be flat on two sides.

The S2 manual says the sensor is 23.0 x 15.5 mm, so a fisheye lens with a 22mm image circle will get cropped about 3.25mm on each the top and bottom. Turning the camera to "vertical" or "portrait mode" won't help either.

See the thread http://www.s2pro.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=921 or do a search on FISHEYE.
