Excellent lens

 

One of the most important things about this lens is that it can be used as a wide angle without distortion on a smaller sensor camera like 50d,60d,70d etc. at 15mm. You can still have the fisheye if you want - but can be used also for car interiors,...

I'm in love with this lens!

 

The other day, I went out on a photo shoot to exercise my new Canon EF 8-15mm f/4L Fisheye USM lens. This lens produces circular 180º fisheye images with full-frame cameras at 8mm, and diagonal 180º fisheye images at 15mm. With APS-C and other...

Amazing lens!

 

I purchased this lens to be used on my 5d Mark iii and the image quality is amazing. You can capture an entire scene in one frame. The lens cap does fit loosely but a minor adjustment helps it stay on tight.

EF 8-15mm f/4L Fisheye USM

 

Although I have owned this lens less than a Month, I've been very busy using my Canon 8-15mm F/4 L Fisheye lens for ceiling architecture and it has shown itself as a formidible contender as a pro lens. Being an architectural photographer at heart, this...

Incredible lens

 

This lens is Amazing. I had doubts before to buy this lens. Now i'm really very happy with it and surprised about what can I get. i took pictures of wild gooses flying over the Potomac river and the results were incredible. It worth the price.
