Problem with Fisheye lens


I have just bought myself a sigma 10-20mm lens. Its a great lens, but when I use the fisheye I get a dark shadow in the bottom center of my photo. Does anyone know what causes this and how it can be eliminated. It is only apparent when I use the flash.

Thanks

  If you are using the on camera flash it is a shadow caused by the camera lens.

  Hi Todd - that's what I thought, but how does one deal with the problem or should one not use the on-camera flash with this lens???

  The only way to avoid it is with a flash that fits into the hot shoe on top of the camera. You will not be able to use the on camera flash without this happening when using that particular lens.
