I'm very interested in this lens, but theres not an archive for it yet. So if you have this lens, show me what it can do!

great photos! thanks! Which camera are you using?

Lord_Malone · 16th of January 2007 (Tue)

I say just get it. It's a specialty lens, so not everyone is going to have it like a nifty fifty, kit lens or any of the other popular zoom/prime focal ranges. It'll probably be my next lens. God knows I've put off buying it for years. Looks like a lot of fun though.

Canon EOS 5D.

Definetly, I tried it out at BHphoto last week and I was hooked. I'm definetly getting it, its just a matter of how fast i can sell my 70-200 f/4L!

Hawg: were those cropped, or can you get them straight from the camera with no vignetting?

Hawg Hanner · 16th of January 2007 (Tue)

Yes, they were cropped...but just a bit on each side. There is no vignetting with this lens on a full-frame sensor because the EF 15mm f/2.8 Fisheye shows a 180º angle of view using a rectilinear design.

jdos2 · 16th of January 2007 (Tue)

Here's one I took of a food court.

Choose subjects carefully, and the lens is amazing: don't, and it gets boring quickly.

And don't forget the pictures can easily be straightened.

Oh! 5D.

Miyagi-san · 16th of January 2007 (Tue)

Some great examples here

So what would the end result look like on a 1.6x crop exactly? i mean, obviously it will be cropped a bit, but vignetting was mentioned....would this not be a great lens for a rebel?

I think I may be leaning towards the tokina 10-17....but won't be picking up a new lens till spring rolls around, to give me time to save as well as research.

the 10-17 sounds great, but the 15mm's 2.8 does sound nice

Hawg Hanner · 16th of January 2007 (Tue)

If you truly want a fisheye look like you see above you would not be happy with this lens on a camera with a 1.6 crop factor. For that I recommend the Sigma 8mm f/3.5 EX DG or the Peleng 8mm.

jdos2 · 16th of January 2007 (Tue)

It's a "wide with distortion" on a crop body. Go with the above recommendations, or get a 135 sensor camera.
(if it were only that easy!)

PZengel · 16th of January 2007 (Tue)

any pics with a 1.6 crop camera?

Hawg Hanner · 17th of January 2007 (Wed)

No, because it doesn't look as 'fishy' on a camera with a 1.6 crop factor. There are better alternatives. See previous posts above.
