Canon EF 15mm f/2.8 Fisheye

[michi]

I have this lens. Bought it from Canon refurbished. Even though I had to send it back twice due to a faulty aperture unit, the image quality is amazing. For the price, you can't beat this lens. It's sharp, even wide open. And so much fun to be had with it creatively. If you can get your hands on a used one, I say go for it. Shame they discontinued it, but I guess they had to come out with a new one so they could jack up the price as they did with all the new lenses...

1850+ views on Flickr for a few days, I am surprised. I have to find some time to fix the blown highlights.

The best thing about the fisheye is the big head baby pictures! I know its cliche' but I can't resist.

Fantastic! A refreshing take on such a familiar location!

Loads of the other shots on this thread are good too. It definitely seems a lens that rewards creativity and an eye for composition

Interesting shot and I'm betting the best man and the bride's maid on the far left hit it off

i have always really liked this lens, originally i got it for doing full panoramas. its really sharp and has good color and contrast. its more useful with today's software tools like dxo than it used to be. poor fisheye gets left out of all the best ultrawide talks but i think it deserves an honorable mention.
