Seriously wide-angled fisheye lens with an equally extreme price-tag. Canon L-series fanatics take note – this is a niche lens that you won't use every day, so approach with caution.

Купила внепланово, хотя интересовалась давно: курс евро рос, мои небольшие рублевые сбережения таяли на глазах. Вот и купила. Пробовала на всем подряд: на интерьерах квартиры, на виде из окон. Очень нравилось всё, что получалось. Отличная цветопередача, красивый рисунок.

Best fisheye ever...

For filmmakers and photographers who want the look and feel only possible with extreme wide angle and fisheye photography, the new Canon EF 8-15mm f/4L Fisheye USM is a world-class choice. With its unique focal length range, the EF 8-15mm f/4L USM is the world's widest fisheye zoom lens.

Here's (another) update after having used this lens for almost 2 1/2 years. This is one lens I always try to take with me just in case an opportunity presents itself. I have examples of this lens on a FF here:http://www.pbase.com/pegsam/fisheyeShooting at 8 mm is pretty straightforward and it does...

More versatile than I originally imagined

Lens hood; some chromatic aberration at the edge

There are plenty of inexpensive fish-eye lenses out there, including the Lensbaby Circular Fisheye ($361.66 at Amazon) and the Samyang 12mm F2.8 ED AS NC Fish-eye ($349.00 at Amazon) . But there aren't a lot of zoom designs (Pentax and Tokina both sell a 10-17mm fish-eye for APS-C SLRs), and none other that switch from a fully circular field of view to a more traditional fish-eye look as the Canon EF 8-15mm f/4L Fisheye USM ($1,249) can. It also includes autofocus, compatibility with full-frame cameras, and the build quality and weather-sealing that you expect from an L-series lens. The cost may be a turnoff for photographers in the market for what is an occasional-use, special effect lens, but there's no arguing with the quality of the product. DesignThe 8-15mm f/4L Fisheye USM ($1,249.00 at Amazon)  is sized similarly to other ultra-wide zooms. It measures 3.7 by 3.1 inches (HD) and weighs in at 1.2 pounds. The front element is bulbous, and there's no thread to accommodate lens...

The Canon EF 8-15mm f/4L Fisheye USM is a unique lens that can capture a circular image or zoom-in for a more traditional fish-eye look, but you'll pay a lot for it.

Unique, zooming fish-eye design; Full circular image at wide angle; Full-frame compatibility; L-series construction

Hood must be removed for full circular effect; Expensive

While we can't tell you quantitatively just how good the Canon 8-15mm &131;/4 L USM Fisheye lens is, we can say that it's both a versatile and fun lens to use. It's basically two fisheye lenses in one, offering full horizontal and vertical 180 degree coverage on full-frame bodies, and a more...
