Photographer Mathieu Stern did this short experiment with capturing the full image circle from a 180-degree fisheye lens. You'll need a smaller image circle on a larger camera sensor.

When it comes to correcting the distortion on fisheye lenses, most of us use the fairly standard rectilinear methods built into Lightroom and Adobe Camera Raw. And while that gets the job done decently well, there’s a way to go about it that will leave you with a lot less noticeable distortion and more of your image still intact.
