15mm fisheye vs 10-22 wideangle

I would like to get some thoughts about either lens for a 7d. I already have a 10-22, but have an opportunity to get a 15mm fisheye, just wondering if its worth it. All input appreciated.
Thanks

I would never get a FF fisheye for a 1.6X body. You will get kind of 'fishy', kind of 'wide' and mostly 'meh'.

Either shoot rectilinear UWA (10-22) or get a 1.6X 8mm fisheye.

Heya,

Do you like the look of fisheye? It's not the same, at all, compared to the 10-22. Personally I find fisheye to be silly and would never want one. I can't stand the look on video I do with my Hero2. I wouldn't bother getting a pricey fisheye for my dSLR. But there are those that put them to good use. It's all about how you want to use it. It would serve me no purpose, so I stick with my 11mm on my crop for UWA. Going down to 8mm, from 11mm, for me, is not worth it, with the added cost of having to then suffer the "fisheye" look. But to each their own!

Very best,

if you are after the fisheye effect you should really go for something wider, something designed for a crop camera will actually give you the fisheye look you're after...the 15mm fisheye won't be any wider than your 10-22mm, it will actually be closer to 12mm wide(see this: http://www.canon-20d.com/wide-angle-lens-compare.php )...and the fisheye won't be as pronounced

so in my opinion if you want fisheye at least get a good one...one of the rokinon/samyang 8mm ones would work well, and are pretty cheap

My thoughts.

IMO, fisheye lenses are pretty highly specialized... And the thrill of using one wears off fairly quickly. I've owned them in the past and ended up selling because I rarely found need for them. But, that's me and you're you... and you might feel differently about it.

If the "opportunity" were a screamingly good deal, I might buy it and squirrel it away or make myself use it a little. But I have a full frame camera and in general have to agree that if you are wanting the fisheye "look", you'd probably be better off getting one in a focal length designed for your camera's sensor format, instead of the FF 15mm.
