Canon EF 15mm f/2.8 Fisheye

Cool shot but I think you blew the sky out way too far to recover it.

Hello people.

Seriously in doubt whether to buy a Canon 15mm Fisheye or Sigma 15mm Fisheye what you think?

Here's a few from last night

Wonderful shot, Tristan. Really love everything about it.

Guys I have been looking at this thread for some time and would like to know how good is the fisheye effect on APS-H cameras.I noticed and read that the effect is better on full frame and less apparent on ASP-C but since Im going to get a 1dMKIIN in a near future Im debating whether or not to buy this lens.Could you post or direct me to some samples with 1D bodies?

Since at 15mm fisheye won't give 180° diagonal angle of view on a 1.3x camera, it won't give you the view of a rectangular fisheye, if that is what you are after. It will be wide with lots of barrel distortion and let you focus very closely and still have many creative possibilities but it might not be what you want. One solution would be to buy an 8mm circular fisheye and then crop the resulting image. Any rectangle that touches the edges of the image circle will have a 180° diagonal.

I think these days most would suggest the Canon 8-15mm f/4L USM fisheye zoom which can give you the focal lengths needed for 180° diagonal or even going wider with dark corners and then cropping the desired rectangle.

Thanks a lot.I read a lot about fisheye lenses yesterday and found out that there are different focal lengths that give the 180 degree field of view on APS-C(8-10mm),APS-H(around 12mm) and full frame around 15mm.There are two options for me since Im using a 40D and will later have a 1D series body.Those are the Canon 8-15mm as you mentioned and the Tokina 10mm-17mm.Theres a price difference of almost $1,000 between the two so Im pretty sure which one Im going to pick.Thanks for the help.

TristanCardew, absolutely EPIC! Great shot!


Cars always seem to be smiling when you shoot them with a fisheye.
