On my other post, I was debating whether to keep the Tokina 10-17 Fisheye for my Mark II n with its APS-H sensor. I wanted no vignetting. So that meant keeping the Tokina set at 12mm or above. But I was on the fence as to whether to order a Sigma or Canon 15 mm fisheye instead with no vignetting at all and just loose 3 mm in the process.

Well, I ordered the 15 mm Canon Fisheye and it came today. I will send one of the fisheyes back. For those curious, here are some Angle of View comparisons.

First, look at my office. Look for the blue binder on the floor. That is where I will stand for the fisheye comparison shots. Look at the windows so you can see the layout. The first shot showing my office is with the new 16-35 mm f/2.8 L II. I also posted a shot of the window with this same lens - at 16mm - taken from that blue binder, so you can have another reference point. Keep in mind its raining, the lighting sucks, etc. (read: this is a quick experiment - these shots suck!).

First, the Canon at 15 mm from that binder. The second is the Tokina at 12mm:

Right out of the box, I love the Tokina just for the AoV. But this weekend I will take some real pictures and make a final decision.

The results will be interesting to see. Good luck with either one.
