Comments about Canon Canon EF 15mm f/2.8 Fisheye AutoFocus Wide Angle Lens - USA:

I've had this lens for about a month now and I really like it. It's my first experience with a fisheye and it's sparked my creative spirit. I'm still experimenting and learning the various effects of the lens. The distortion is fun but I have a lot more to learn. I was a bit concerned that this wasn't an L lens, but the quality is just fine for my purposes.

Comments about Canon Canon EF 15mm f/2.8 Fisheye AutoFocus Wide Angle Lens - USA:

I had bought the lens for my daughter. She had wanted a fisheye lens for the effct it creates. I should have done more research. There was not much fisheye effect and I found this was becasue the rebel was not a full frame camera. Guess thats what happens when you buy good equipment with lack of knowledge.

I wasn't sure, in the wedding business, if I'd use the lens that much but I have found it to be invaluable. I've told all my upcoming brides how excited they're going to be with the great shots I can get with the Fish Eye! So far, I haven't found much that isn't good about it!

two days after getting the lens, my auto focus stopped working. other than that, this lens has been amazing, even without the auto focus working. its a little bit heavy, but not too bad. the effect gives straight lines and landscapes some flair.

Comments about Canon Canon EF 15mm f/2.8 Fisheye AutoFocus Wide Angle Lens - USA:

The lens is more than adequate and produces excellent sharp images in all ranges. The fisheye effect could be more pronounced, but
seems more prominent in the background. Still,
this is a good lens and can produce some very
interesting photos.

Comments about Canon Canon EF 15mm f/2.8 Fisheye AutoFocus Wide Angle Lens - USA:

For an SLR fisheye lens it is great that you do not have the traditional black circle around the photo. I was looking for a true fisheye, and even though this is the best one on the market, there is little distortion (in the fisheye terms) of curving straight lines so on and so fourth. When I was doing the research sample images had that true distortion, however they are only effective if in the foreground or distant background. As far as fisheye lenses I would recommend the canon one over any other. Focuses great even close up.
