Stock?
A reader has pointed out that the 15mm fisheye appears to be out of stock in a lot of places, has anyone else noticed this?
Could this be the PMA of niche lenses being released? It would be nice to see new EF-S & EF fisheyes. I'll poke around.
thanks Michael

this will be very interesting :]
Bah. I’m happy with tokina’s offering.
According to Canon’s History site the 15mm Fisheye’s design is from 1987… thats more then 20 years old. Pre SLR Digital. So they could update the USM and add Coatings to the lens and call it new. Or make massive changes to it and charge too much. Lets face it every one likes a fisheye. And Sigma has a good offering in the same spec range and price.
Or they could have simply run short.
No, it doesn’t work like this.
When Canon releases a lens model update, the announcement goes out BEFORE the old one runs out of stock.
So again, a lens being out of stock does not mean it is being replaced, ok?
If… They added a ring type USM motor and weather sealing, with updated coatings included SWC (at this point it would be L series on account of the sealing) I would be quite willing to pay around 900 to a bit over for one. It would of course incorporate the distance information so RAW shooters can greatly reduce any CA in DPP. Fisheye lenses have exceedingly sharp corners for wide angles. I like that….
