Great lens! [Posted on 2008-02-10]
I love this lens, its wonderful and there's absolutely nothing wrong with it. If you want the distortion to be seen in "full force", you should use a camera with a 1.0x crop factor (full frame or 35mm film). You wont go wrong with this one. I like it better than the Canon one. It's tack sharp, great colors and contrast.
Just rented this lens this week [Posted on 2008-03-24]
and it is definitely not on my favorites list. The vignetting is horrible on a full frame camera (5D). When I put it on my 30D the vignetting was still pretty bad (see image gallery, I added some.) Sharpness and color wise it's fine. The distortion is not as strong as I'd thought it would be. I got a similar look with the 24 1.4 canon L lens which is a much better lens. For a true fisheye, I'd probably go wider, like 10 mm. No more "off" brands for me either.
A GREAT Lens......PERIOD! [Posted on 2008-04-06]
I bought this lens on a lark, and have enjoyed every second of my time owning it. I use it on my Canon 5D and on my Canon 40D, if I set my shots correctly, I have some of the most unusual, attractive and impressive shots in my Shot Library.
The key to success with this lens is to set the shot correctly. I have found it takes more planning, a steadier hand (or Tripod/Monopod), than even my 100-400MM F/4-5.6L. With a telephoto lens, your area of focus is less a challenge than the 180 Degree worth of study when dealing with this lens.
Don't get me wrong, this lens is FUN!! I've never enjoyed landscapes, portraits, artistic shots more than I have when I am using my 15MM Fish. For the Casual user, high end amateur, or for the seasoned professional, this lens is an inexpensive TOOL each of us should have to round out our lens bag. BUY IT!!
read reviews and know your camera [Posted on 2008-07-06]
I have two full frame cameras that this lens does exactly what it is suppose to do at with excellent sharpness and color contrast. Don't use it much, but when it is needed there are no other lens that will match it for it's speed f2.8 and price. On an AP-C camera, e.g. 1.6 sensor, it is the equivalent of a 24 mm on my full frame. One should read before one buys.
Lens is OKAY [Posted on 2008-11-02]
I rented this lens for a wedding and enjoyed it... but not enough to purchase it. The images it produces are nice but it was incredibly loud and had a hard time focusing (which extended the noise until it focused). For the same price, I think I'd stick with the Canon 15mm.
