On a full-frame camera such as the EOS Canon 5D Mark II, the EF 8-15mm Fisheye is a wonderfully versatile lens that enables you to switch between circular and diagonal fisheye effects with a twist of the zoom ring. Image quality is very good in terms of s...
Abstract: Need a more creative lens for your already packed kit bag? The Canon EF 8-15mm f/4 L Fisheye USM with 180° diagonal field-of-view could be just what you ve been waiting for...
The Canon EF 8-15mm f/4L Fisheye USM remains a slight oddity and yet an extremely fun lens to use. The optical quality is impressive for such a wide lens and the performance is exceptional, from the autofocus to the weather-sealing.For full-frame users, h...
Abstract: The Canon EF 8-15mm f/4L Fisheye USM broke the mold when it was first launched, although Nikon later followed suit with a similar lens. Previously, you had to choose between two types of fisheye lens. A circular fisheye produces a circular image that only...

Abstract: While we can't tell you quantitatively just how good the Canon 8-15mm /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 deg...
180 degree diagonal fisheye for all Canon DSLRs, 180 degree circular fisheye for full-frame DSLRs, Tough build with weatherproofing, Optically sharp across the entire imaging circle.
Vulnerable-looking front element, Lens cap easily comes loose, Chromatic aberrations in areas of high contrast, Full circular fisheye only available to full-frame.
There's no doubt the Canon EF 8-15mm Fisheye is an exciting and original lens. In one fell-swoop it does the job of four models, three of which never existed in Canon's own catalogue and one of which wasn't made by anyone at all. For the first time, o...
Abstract: The EF 8-15mm f/4L Fisheye lens is a highly-anticipated and unique lens in Canon’s lineup. I’ve been using it for a couple of weeks now and will give a hands-on “user report” review of it below.First off, I’ve used the 8-15mm almost exclusively with m...
allpurpose fisheye, perfect for all detector types available in the Canon system, solid and shapely casing, sensational image quality in the centre of field of view, good or decent image quality on the edge of the field, relatively wellcorrected coma, neg
chromatic aberration momentarily a bit too high.
The Canon EF 8–15 mm f/4 L Fisheye USM is one of few lenses in which case I had problems what to put into the “cons” section. A bit by force I decided to mention the chromatic aberration problems. I say “by force” because most of the time it is corrected ...
