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 ...
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 degree cove...
Abstract: Fisheye lenses allow photographers to shoot spectacular pictures with extreme viewing angles. In combination with a 24x36mm full frame sensor DSLR camera, the Canon EF 8-15mm allows for either full frame or circular fisheye images; with smaller sensor...

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
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...
Dual circular and diagonal fisheye options on fullframe cameras, very good image quality, excellent Lseries build quality and ringtype USM autofocus
Lacks circular/diagonal versatility on APSC and APSH cameras, fisheye distortion effect is minimised at 15mm on an APSC camera, very expensive for a fisheye lens
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 ...
Abstract: Die Welt durch Fischaugen sehen – das neue Canon EF 8-15mm f/4L Fisheye USM macht's möglich. Zwar sollte man mit dem Ultraweitwinkelzoom lieber nicht auf Tauchgang gehen, aber der 180-Grad-Bildwinkel bietet auch an Land außergewöhnliche Perspektiven. Play...
Qualité de fabrication et de finition, Confort d'utilisation, Ouverture constante f/4, Plage de focale fisheye ultra grand-angle, Production d'images circulaires au 8 mm
Intérêt limité hors images circulaires avec un capteur 24x36, Recadrage nécessaire jusqu'au 14 mm avec un capteur 24x36, Aberrations chormatiques importantes, Baisse de piqué sur les bords, Distorsions élevées (c'est normal)
Au final, ce zoom un peu hors norme permet de produire des images originales qui feront leur effet, mais qui pourront vite lasser. L'abus de fisheye (pas de jeu de mots) est mauvais pour les yeux, à consommer avec modération! La qualité optique de cet obj...

Abstract: Canons nieuwste fisheye-objectief is een opmerkelijke lens die erg in de smaak zal vallen bij wie het graag breed ziet.Het bijzonder aan deze fisheye-lens is dat je de brandpuntsafstand en daarmee de beeldhoek kan aanpassen. Op een Canon-camera met full-f...
