Customer Reviews

Wow, this thing is wide! I also have a Tokina 12-24 and I took a shot from the same spot with both lenses set at 12mm. 12mm on the 8-15 was much wider than 12 on the 12-24, I'll post the comparison later.
I haven't used it much, mostly because it is a special purpose lens and I haven't had many special purpose opportunities since I bought it. It seems well built and was nicely packaged. But even at it's current price ($1428), it is very high priced. The Sigma 10mm Fisheye might have been a better buy.
Some things to note.
-On the Canon 7D (APS-C), at 8mm with the lens hood on you will get tiny bits of the hood in the shot. See my sample posts.
-This thing is so wide you can be right next to something and still think you are a ways back, so caution needs to be taken not to bang the lens on something and damage it. For me this will be a challenge because to get the creative shots I want, I need to get very close to cause that great fisheye perspective
-at 8mm handheld image quality indoors was pretty poor, some experimenting and maybe a camera stand and better ISO settings could correct this.
If you've got money to blow or just love collecting nice lenses like me, go for it, and be sure to post some shots!

I purchased the Canon EF 8-15mm f/4L Fisheye USM Ultra-Wide Zoom Lens from J;R.com via Checkout by Amazon for $1499. Was the suggested retail value and was happy as it was listed higher from another source or was not available from Amazon. Great lens and works well with 5D Mark II. Has a nice lock but the only concern is no protection for the front lens which is common with wide angle lenses. It does have a hood and cover to protect the lens when being stored in it's pouch!
